The Battle Royale Act has been passed since 800,000 students decided to boycott the school system. The BR Act chooses a random 9th grade class to fight each other until the death and the last one remaining is awarded with their own life.

A student is shown coping with his father’s death, walking into home where he finds his Father their hanging from the fan. Meanwhile another student walks into the class 3-B late apologizing to teacher, the Teacher then quickly walks out but then is startled as he is attacked by another student in the hallway.

    In chapter 15, the narrator comes across a coin bank when leaving Mary's house. The coin bank is a figurine is of a grinning black man, who when a coin is placed in its hand and a lever is pushed, tosses the coin into his mouth. This is not only derrogative on how society viewed the african americans but also symbolic in how the narrator has experienced the race being not only treated negatively, but regarded in terms of unequality and in a sense, bottom feeders. More specifically, this can relate to the Battle Royal where the young black boys scavvanged up their winnings on the electrified carpet infront of an audiance that was mainly wealthy white people. To the white men, this exemplified the black men's despair to grab up any money they could, in a humiliating mannor, which was supplied by the white man himself. I think this symbol is significant because it symbolizes the reoccuring issue of black men being lesser equals of the white man, and it doesn't allow the narrator to forget about his "place" in society,…

    The Japanese action movie Battle Royale is loosely based on the book Lord of The Flies by William Golding. In the movie a class of Japanese students is chosen for the Battle Royale program. The objective of this "game" is that the kids are taken to a deserted island and given 3 days to kill each other until only one survives. The kids are allowed to use any kind of weapon they see fit and it is very gruesome and twisted. In the book Lord of The Flies the kids are being evacuated from Britain because of what I would think is the Second World War. While flying over an island the plane is shot down and the boys are made to fend for themselves they at first and try and start trying to build huts and go to hunt for food. After a while the kids start to realize that they might not be rescued from the island and that they will probably die before any one knows they are gone.…

    Before the war enters the school, the students take part in many activities such as the Blitzball, the Super Suicide Society of the Summer Session club, and going to the beach. After the war starts to enter the school, the field is used for practicing parachuting, the students shovel the snow off the track to help soldiers pass, and the clubs start to incorporate the war. The flowing of the Devon River into the Neguamsett River is shown through the students’ most probable fate of going to the war. At the beginning of the novel, Gene says that “The class above, seniors, draft-bait, practically soldiers rushed ahead of us toward the war.” This foreshadows that Gene as his class will be next in going to the war.…

    Eric and Dylan were more than ready for their assault when they arrived at their school at 11:10 a.m. (Rosenburg). They headed straight for the school’s cafeteria with two duffel bags, each one concealing a 20-pound propane bomb (Rosenburg). They set them down by some of the lunch tables and went back out to their cars to wait for an explosion (Rosenburg). Luckily, the bombs didn’t explode for if they did it is estimated that all off the 488 inside the cafeteria would have been killed (Rosenburg). Once they realized the bombs weren’t going to detonate, they decided to go ahead and enter the building anyways (Rosenburg). “Klebold, wearing cargo pants and a black T-shirt with ‘Wrath‘ on the front, was armed with a 9-mm semi-automatic handgun and a 12-gauge double-barrel sawed-off shotgun. Harris, wearing dark-colored pants and a white T-shirt that said ‘Natural Selection,’ was armed with a 9-mm carbine rifle and a 12-gauge pump sawed-off shotgun. Both wore black trench coats to hide the weapons they were carrying and utility belts filled with ammunition. Klebold wore a black glove on his left hand; Harris wore a black glove on his right hand. They also carried knives and had a backpack and a duffel bag full of bombs”(Rosenburg). Not long after the boys entered the school, a couple bombs exploded as a diversion for the cops and at the same time, they open fired by the cafeteria instantly killing Rachel Scott and injuring Richard Castaldo…

    First of all, the school has taught their students to take serious subjects too far. On paragraph two, it reads‘“I am looking for some good massacres early,” this year’s judge said as the competitions began the second week in May. “I have arranged at least one boyfriend-girlfriend killing that could be interesting.” Any type of killing is not something to be joked around with, especially in a silly game at school. Also on paragraph one, it says, “This judge of makes a pie chart of death —the order of killing assignments…” The word ‘killing assignments’ would disturb any rational thinking person. This game is supposed to be fun to the students, and if killing assignments are part of the game, who knows what the students could do in real life?…

Campers and those who avoid confrontation are usually the ones who survive until the smallest, while those who seek fights are the best-equipped, thanks to them picking up enemy loot. Imagine a camper with zero kills winning top honors against someone who notched a dozen. The outrage would be huge.…
