Lord of Flies vs. White Squall

A detailed Summary of Lord of Flies vs. White Squall

The Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, was novel about a group of boys deserted on an island. White Squall was a movie about a group of boys who are part of a school trip while sailing around the world. These two stories are very similar in some senses but have very good contrasting points also. My next three paragraphs will tell you about that.

The first major thing that I noticed was all of the conflicts that these boys face, both internally and externally. In Lord of the Flies, the conflicts are simple. There is a battle for hierarchy, which only leads to worse things. This battle starts internally inside of Jack, who wants to be the leader. This is the main place where the boys seem to break apart into their groups, and they even start to lose the

Even the foil characters in these 2 stories are totally different, or at least in my view. In Lord of the Flies, the foil character is Simon. Simon is the one who finds out that the beasts are themselves, but he never conveys that message. He is killed for trying to help. That is where I see a Christ-like resemblance. In White Squall, I strangely see Preston as a foil character. I say that only with his SAT study groups with Gil and Chuck. Preston makes Chuck look like a teacher.

As I conclude my comparisons of these two stories I find two main thoughts. Both of the stories' characters have a strong resemblance to each other and the conflicts that took place could have been prevented. The contrast side of this I see that the themes given to us by the authors were two totally different ends
