Lord Of The Flies And Wall-E Comparison

Most humans need a routine to survive. Wake up, go through your day whether you go to work or school and at the end of the day go back to bed so that you can start that routine all over again. If that routine is broken humans will usually adapt just like the British boys in Lord of the Flies adapting to their uncivilized environment and the humans in Wall-E adapting to the lazy environment. The two groups of humans both drastically change but the British boys turn back to their ancestors’ roots with savage like behavior and the humans on the space ship show the future where we are completely dependent on technology.
Wall-E is a robot who was left on the Earth to clean up the planet after the humans destroyed the environment with too much
pollution. Because the humans have destroyed the only place they can live, they have to create a new environment which is a giant spaceship floating in space. Since they had to cram the whole human species on a spaceship the people become immobile over time which the audience learns after Wall-E jumps on a ship that came to see if any plant life could be detected. The humans are so fat and lazy that they are stuck in chairs that have to move them around. The chairs have a screen that is right in front of the humans face so that they can talk to people and see announcements without having to move. Instead of actually eating solid food, they turn all of their meals into a drink so it is easy to eat. Overall the human race on the ship is even more dependent on robots and technology than we are today. The British schoolboys on the other hand tried to start out as civil people but ended up turning into monsters because they were stuck in a harsh environment. The ironic part is sometimes when the boys were acting crazy it was because they were trying to stay civilized. The main problem throughout the book besides wanting to be rescued was who the leader would be. Eventually Jack became so power hungry that he was willing to kill Ralph to obtain the power. Piggy was the only person who thought ideas through but since he was the less uncivilized boy he was killed. The pre teen boys on the island acted more savage because of the harsh forest environment while the adult humans on the space ship were so dependent on the technology to take care of them.
Although the environments were different from each other, both groups managed to adapt to them but they still wanted to return home.
In Wall-E, Eva is sent to try and find any form of plant life to see if the planet had been enough fixed so that they could return home. By the end of the movie, the humans do return to Earth after a battle with the computer system controlling the ship and realize that in order to fix the Earth they must do it themselves since they made the mess in the first place. The boys in Lord of the Flies on the other hand while they all agree that being rescued is the most important issue so that they could return to their home; they do not see what a mess they turn into. In fact returning home is about the only issue that the boys are ever able to agree on the whole time that they are on the island because the boys are constantly fighting over who should be leader or what they should do about the monsters on the island which end up being the actual boys. They turn as violent as animals that people would find in a forest on a deserted island which show how they adapted to the environment that they lived in. The main goal for both groups of people was to return home but they both had adapted to the environment that they were already living
in.
Although some people may already think of teenage boys as animal-like creatures, the boys transformed into a new uncivilized creature while on the island just like the people on the space ship transformed into the laziest form of human nature.
