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.
