LOOKING FOR SIMILARITEIS

In lord of the flies and in lost are a lot of similarities , like Jack that was a very important person in the book and in the serie too but the diference is that in the book Jack is a bad person and in the serie Jack is a very good person who try to help all the person.
Other similaritei is the question about who is the leader, in the book Jack and ralph want to be the leader and in the serie Jack , John and sawyer want to be the leader.
In both they look FOR water to survive and look FOR save place where they are safe from the beast in the book and from the others in the serie
Other thing is that in the serie and in the book there was a person who like hunting and want every day hunt , in the book is Jack and in the serie is Locke
in the book there was a problem when the group separate in two group, one stay in castle rock and the Other went to the mountain, and in lost when the group separate some of they stay in the beach and others went to the cave.

Looking for similarities..!

This year, in our class, we were able to read Lorf of the flies and see the TV serie LOST. There are many ways in which Lost is indebted to Lord of the Flies.Firstly, the characters in both first arrived by a plane crash and they landed on a deserted island, where they feel they are constantly under the threat of turning wild.
In Lord of the Flies, one of the main character's/leader's name is Jack, just as in Lost. But if you consider it character-wise, Jack in Lost is more like Ralph in the book, because of his calm personality that invites the other's trust. Both leaders, have their own assistants who accompany and support them; in one case is Hurley, and in the other, Piggy.

In the novels, there are two players: one is light and one is dark, determinating the sentiment that there are two sides, good and evil. In Lord of the flies, during the day the children are happy and laugh and play, but when the dark falls, the fear of the stranger invades them.
Food is important too. In both Lost and Lord of the Flies, wild boar is the main (even only) source of meat and those who hunt it receive special recognition.
In addition, in the show Lost, as in the book Lord of the Flies, the fear of an anonymous monster or beast takes over the survivors. In both stories the fear of a beast makes most of the camp scared of the forest and they choose to stay on the beach to avoid it.
Appart, one of the central points of Lord of the Flies is a critique on human society and human nature. It can be equally argued that this is a central point of the TV show Lost.
Well, finally we can mention some other similarities like the men parachuting onto the island similar to the man who parachuted onto the island in Lord of the flies, the importance of glasses (Piggy's used for making fire in book; Sawyer's , used to read), the character with asthma (Piggy and Shannon) and the accidental murders by confusion (Shannon and Simon).

As the TV show Lost continues, I have no doubt that more and more similarities between it and William Golding's classic novel will appear.

Similarities!

I've done this task in my blog, so Miss Alina check there please! byeeee!!!

Simlar?...

During this last months we have been reading the book "Lord of the flies", and we can see that this book has a lot of similarities with the serie "Lost". Some characters of the book are very similar to the characters of the serie.

First af all, the storys take place in an island, were is something that scares to the survivors. In the serie the survivors are afraid of "the others" and in the book the children are afraid of the darkness and of the "beast". In the two islands they have to build their shelters, get their food and water, and the most important try to survive and be rescute.

Secondly, in both storys are leaders of the groups. In "Lord of the flies" Ralph is the chief of the group and in "Lost" is Jack, we can fins similarities in this two because thay are always interestin of the others, and they two have oppositors, in one is John Locke and Saywer, and in the other is Jack. This persons are allways opposed the chief's orders.

Other character is piggy, a child who is always helping to his leader, like Hurley. they have done a list with the name of the survivors and they are fat.

An other similarity is that the fear in both case, has cost some lifes. In the serie Shannon is shoot by Ana Lucia, in the book Simon is killed.

This two storys show that human beings need limits, and rules to survive in a comunity; and show the savage part of every person in an extrem situation.

Comparison between "Lord Of The Flies" and "Lost"




We have finished reading lord of the flies, and so we can find a lot of similarities with the series Lost.
Both show the actitudes of survival that human beings have in this extreme situations..


We can compare Ralph with Jack as they both are the leaders or chief of the group of people in the island, also Jack Merridew with John Locke or Sawyer as they opposed all time to the opinions, rules and orders established by their chiefs.

In Lord of the Flies the children are afraid of the beast and darkness, in Lost they're afraid of "the others"...this fear took the characters to act in a savage way like killing Simon because they thought he was the beast and on the other hand took Ana Lucia to kill Shanon because she thought she was one of the others.

We can find in both situations the people trying to get water, build some shelters, get food, know each other making a list of the ones who are there etc.
It's possible to compare all the time all the actitudes of the characters of the book with the ones of the serie...like Jack M. and Locke trying to hunt, Hurley and Piggy helping their leaders, ralph and Jack thinking of the other ones, etc
This shows that in this kind of situations some people look after the good of all the group but another just only the good of them selfs...but anyway, they try to survive!
