Comparing The Hunger Games And The Lord Of The Flies

Although, quite informative in character and plot building, the Lord of the Flies movie and book differ significantly. The Lord of the Flies novel, written in 1954, by William Golding is a novel about a group of boys whose plane crashes on a deserted island. The boys have to figure out how to survive without grownups, and overcome all the obstacles they have to face; in addition, many of these obstacles were quite inhumane. The movie over the Lord of the Flies, filmed in 1963, and directed by Peter Brook, follows closely to the plot of the book, however many notable events and details are not evident or differ from the novel. Due to the missing and inaccurate details, I would rate this movie 3.5 out of 5 stars. In order to understand the book

Comparing stories can lead people with ideas about human nature. This is true for the stories Lord of the Flies and Divergent. Lord of the Flies and Divergent prove that people can sometimes be pushed to the edge, undervalued people can be helpful, and that bullying can harm others.

The book “Lord of The Flies” and the song “Heathens” are so similar. The boys in the book turned into heathens and made it to where you had to careful of what you do and the lyrics “all my friends are heathens, take it slow” can relate too that very well. “Please don’t make any sudden moves” can compare to what happened to Simon. He came running in and they mistook him for the beasty. “You don’t know the half of the abuse” kinda sums up the behavior of the boys. The boys have killed and abused each other. “Wait for them too ask you who you know” could be related to the boys asking “who’s side are you on?”. The boy have turned so dark inside that the people they loved is no longer relevant and that can be compared to the lyric “welcome too the

The Fahrenheit 451 is a novel published in 1953 by a writer known as Ray Bradbury. The book is regarded as one of the writer’s best works as a novelist. In the book, the writer presents a future American society where there is no freedom or democracy. This is shown through an act where books are outlawed and in a case where they are found they are to be burnt by ‘firemen’. The society is obsessed with the mass media and driving fast cars. The main characters in the book are Guy Montag, Clarisse McClellan, and Beatty. The genre of the book is based on science fiction.

Civilization v.s. savagery is a recurring theme in both Lord of the Flies by William Golding, and in The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. To begin with, both books transition the characters from civilization to a savage environment. In Lord of the Flies, the characters are from parts of Europe transitioning to a deserted island. In The Hunger Games, characters transition from their districts into the deadly Hunger Games arena. The transitions from civilization to a savage environment is very deadly to all characters. Both environments are a “uninhabited island with no other people on it” waiting with unknown threats to determine the civilized and the savages (Golding 33). In addition, characters from both books share qualities

"Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become.” Linking the movie and novel of William Golding’s “Lord of the Flies” there are many apparent differences. Despite the common plot, Hook failed to give the viewers the right idea of what Golding was trying to convey. Likewise, it is not only a change with the actual story line but also with some of the ways the characters acted. The 3 major differences that were seen are the shattering of the conch, the pilot’s presence, and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. Due to these major differences the novel left a greater impact on its readers than the movie on its viewers.

The nature and way humans behave has been sunk deep into our ancestors’ history and experiences. The many sides of human nature are present in all of mankind. The nature of mankind is explored by numerous texts. Two of these texts are Lord of the Flies and The Hunger Games. Both texts explore the nature of humans and how everyone has traits of them all.

William Golding's Lord of the Flies is a novel about a group of boys who are lost on a deserted island and must do what they can to survive. At the beginning of the novel, two of the boys, Ralph and Jack, become leaders. These differences will form the main conflict in the story. The differences will cause them to hate each other and the anger that results is a recurring part of the plot throughout the novel. These two boys can be compared by the way they change, the reason for their actions, and the way they use or abuse power.

In Lord of the Flies, British schoolboys are stranded on a tropical island. In an attempt to recreate the civilization they left behind, they nominate Ralph as their leader, with the smart and rational Piggy by his side. But Jack wants to lead, too, and one-by-one, he lures the boys from reason and humanity to savagery and a survival and inhuman state; they become the hunters. In Lord of the Flies, William Golding gives us a glimpse of the savagery that controls even the most civilized human beings. In To Kill a Mockingbird, author Harper Lee uses interesting characters to explore civil rights and racism in the segregated Southern United States of the 1930s. Narrated by Scout Finch, you learn about her father Atticus Finch, an attorney who hopelessly fights to prove the innocence of a black man wrongly accused of rape; and about Boo Radley, a mysterious neighbour who saves Scout and her brother Jem from being killed.

Isolation has a major impact on the brain at the molecular level (Underwood 1). Studies conducted at Harvard Medical School show that isolation stunts the communication of neurons throughout the body, leading to severe emotional instability (Underwood 2). At face value, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Lord of the Flies by William Golding are skillful depictions of what occurs when youths are isolated from the rest of society. Occurring in dystopian realities, groups of youths are left stranded in a designated, isolated area with dangerous and impenetrable boundaries. Without the presence of rules or authority, many characters in both novels must make changes to their moral compasses in order to survive. Immediately, characters from

Sometimes, societies cannot avoid sacrifice in order to thrive. Unfortunately, the purest individuals often make the sacrifices, not the deserving. Jesus Christ, a common archetype among literary characters, sacrificed himself for His community and people around Him. William Golding and Aldous Huxley’s contemporary dystopian novels reflect a similar theme through their use of archetypes. For instance, both Brave New World and Lord of the Flies reflect through the use of archetypes, how the most innocent members of society often undergo sacrifices in order to please those around them. However, their sacrifices can later lead to chaos in the community.

1984 and The Hunger Games are two brilliant novels written by two award winning authors. They contain many characteristics that typical dystopian novels possess; however, they’re presented differently to create the fictitious environments, where both characters live. Which is why they make such great pieces of Literature to compare.

The novel “Lord Of The Flies” is about a plane crashing onto an Island and no adult supervision left for the group of young boys that were left behind. The two boys first introduced in the story, Ralph and Piggy, find all of the boys along the island and gather together realizing they're left on their own and can do whatever they want . The boys then create a structured civilization using a conch shell to communicate and lead but it doesn't quite work out. In the novel, “Lord Of The Flies” written by William Golding,the story supports the philosopher Thomas Hobbes’ theory of the “Ruthless Savage” because the boys are portrayed as bullies and careless. The movie “The Hunger Games” shows several of the same qualities as the novel “Lord Of The Flies”.

The Hunger Games and All Summer in a Day are NOT set in dystopian worlds.

The novel, “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding was published in 1954. It’s the story of a group of boys stranded on an island with no adults. Since then, it has had two film adaptions. The first adaption was produced in 1963, directed by the Englishman Peter Brook. This version was filmed in black and white and follows the events of the book very closely. The second adaption came twenty-seven years later in 1990, which was directed by the American Harry Hook. The second adaption did not quite follow the novel in terms of symbolism, the beast and the overall theme while the first adaption was more faithful to the novel.
