What Are The Similarities Between Lord Of The Flies And Damselfly

In both series of Lord of the Flies by William Golding and Damselfly by Chandra Prasad, the books both display the process of survival and show a relation in terms of people's personalities that affect the civilization between each member on both islands. Lord of the Flies includes a big group of little boys put on an island when an unfortunate event happened, and the result ended with a few people violently killed and the escape of no success made in terms of being saved.

You can either create or have friends of your own anywhere you go and you can still have a good time no matter the surroundings.

In Chapter 12 of Damselfly it states, “They got more ambitious and added passengers: a chicken, duck, and sheep.” “That sounds like a bad joke.” “It’s not.”” (Golding 167).
