William Golding’s Lord of the Flies and Kid Nation directed by Jack Cannon are closer than people may think. Many events during Kid Nation also happen in Lord of the Flies. In Kid Nation and Lord of the Flies kids are away from civilization and authority figures, so the kids must create their own society. Kid Nation and Lord of the Flies share the view that civilization is the most important part of stopping people from becoming
The Giver and The Maze Runner share some similarities and differences. They both are dystopian societies and are set in the future. But in the Giver, people aren’t trapped in their world; they can get out if they wanted to. In the Maze Runner, people are trapped without consent and it is only through immense hard work, they can get out into the real
In Lord of the Flies there were a lot of similarities and differences from the book to the movie. In the beginning of the book the boy’s plane crashed into a body of water and the pilot dies but, in the movie the pilot is alive but is severely injured. In both the movie and the book Piggy finds the conch and has Ralph blow it, due to his asthma. When on the island in both the book and the movie Jack was mean to Piggy and whipped some of the little un's.
Ray Bradbury and William Golding have very similar themes in their books. All the way from human interaction and social conditioning. Lord of the Flies consists of a story due to the lack of social conditioning and Fahrenheit 451 portrays what it's like after too much too powerful social conditioning. Connecting the overlapping ideas of social conditioning, knowledge, identity, and truth in these two novels leads to a better understanding of human behavior.
The Hunger Games and Pan’s Labyrinth are both popular dystopias, with one set in a fictional country and the other having a historical, real-world setting. The stories feature elements of control, oppression, and resistance throughout; causing the reader to believe that a perfect Utopia may be one of freedom, equality, and a willingness to cooperate. Both dystopias present oppressive, controlling societies. The Hunger Games' Panem is run by the Capitol, a city in the center of the country with states surrounding it. Pan’s Labyrinth is in a real-world setting featuring WWII-era Spain being controlled by military leader Capitan Vidal.
The Lord of the Flies movie is censured for kids, but it also altered to fit an American audience. In the book the kids are British, but in the movie, no one has a British accent. Another good example of the adaptation is Jack, in the book he is red head and has freckles, but in the movie, he is a blonde. With this modification he is able to relate more to the American boy. With this he is able to connect the audience more because any American kid can imagine what he would if he was on island trying to survive.
Friendships are made to last. The Maze Runner by James Dashner depicts the life of a boy entering a new place and how his bonds helps him survive.

Which one is better –to have rules and agree, or to hunt and kill? People are living in a just society where they follow rules in order to get security from the government. Whatever breaks the rules is considered as evil. Ancient Chinese created Yama to symbolize evil. In the Bible, the fallen angel, Satan, also symbolized evil and the source of darkness.
Lord of the Flies and World War II similarities Lord OF The Flies is one of the most memorable and enticing fictional stories of the modern era, however, though the story of the children becoming stranded on a island did not actually occur, many ideas and characters mirror that of World War II. Author of the book, William Golding was a Lieutenant during World War II and was disgusted and appalled by both the Axis and Allied powers in their amazing abilities to extinguish mass amounts of life. Golding would constantly think on why Humans were so willing to kill their fellow man. Throughout the war, Golding began to understand that all humans were inherently savage and unforgiving, this idea would be reflected in the novel. Because Golding was a writer he would use the book Lord OF The Flies to show his point.
Running the Maze Imagine being trapped inside of a place with no memory of how you got there and the only way to get out was through a maze. James Dashner’s young adult, science fiction novel, The Maze Runner is about just that. There were a brunch of themes in the novel but the most important ones were maintaining rules and orders, making sacrifices, never giving up, and manipulation, even though something may look simple it might be harder than it seems. All these themes were practiced by Thomas and other Gladers in the Glade. Dashner also wrote the sequels to the Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials and Death Cure.
This summer I indulged in a book named The Maze Runner by James Dashner. The main character, Thomas, experiences a mass of confusion and is surrounded by a group of teenage boys whom he has never met before in a location where terror lurks in an unknown maze. In the beginning, he barely had any recognition of his name or who he was as a person. There is a significant change between the start of the book to the end because Thomas slowly begins to recall his name and finds a sense of self. He displays a newfound courage towards the closing of the book by leading a group of the boys to escape the horror that has been left in the destroyed glade.
