In "Lord of the Flies," the boys exaggerate their experiences on the island due to fear, superstition, and a desire for power. They are influenced by the presence of the "beast," leading to heightened emotions and distorted perceptions of reality. This exaggeration contributes to the breakdown of order and civilization among the boys.

In Chapter 6 of "Lord of the Flies," Sam and Eric exaggerate the dead parachute by mistaking it for the mythical "beast" in the darkness. They become terrified and their fear leads them to misinterpret what they see, amplifying its significance in their minds. This exemplifies how the boys' imaginations and paranoia create larger-than-life threats on the island.
The boys looked for their own smoke to signal the ship but it had gone out.
