In both the Lord of the Flies‚ and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn‚ the responsibility of the boys is to manage by themselves without any adults to take care of them.

    One of the main connections that I can make is that to the Hunger Games. More the idea of kids killing other kids. The only real difference between them is that in the Hunger Games‚ the kids kill each other not because they want too or because they enjoy it. They do it to survive. In the Lord of the Flies though‚ it’s quite the contrary. They kill because they can and enjoy doing it. Not out of mere survival. Another connection that I made had to do with the theme of the book‚ the evil inside everyone

    very hands of each other are committed within this novel. Within this story of The Lord of The Flies written by William Golding is a wide variety of characters‚ one of which sees the correct way for the rest of the group to organize themselves‚ and often think of useful ideas‚ yet rarely anyone listens to him and he is frequently bullied by his “peers”.

The society that we live in today is much like the society the boys grew up in. It is built upon rules and regulations

In Lord of the Flies‚ Roger can clearly represent the id‚ whereas Simon acts as the superego of the group. Acting on one’s superego can easily be associated with innocence and good‚ which is illustrated in the novel. In chapter one of Lord of the Flies‚ Ralph and Jack climb up the mountain with Simon. As they reach the top‚ the boys get a clear‚ beautiful view of the island. It had
