ESSAY What is island life? what do you think of island life? My opinion of island life is a a place were you do what you want to do and with you you want to do it with.The book Lord of the Flies by William Golding and movie Castaway (2000) is directed by Robert Zeneckis. He similarly explores what happens to mankind when left stranded on an island without civilisation, rules and order. In Lord of the Flies a group of boys are left to themselves after experiencing a plane crash, leaving them alone on an island. Golding shows that evil desires, the basis of human nature is revealed when left to oneself. In Castaway it different compared to Lord Of The Flies because in castaway there is only on person stuck on the island while golding has a dozen.Composer achieves their unique perspectives by exploring civilisation, characterisation and through the theme ‘survival’. CIVILISATION- LOTF In Lord of the Flies, Golding shows how humanity initially begins civilised, however due to humanity’s evil desire, civilisation slowly deconstructs. When the boys arrive on the island, Golding uses characters like Ralph and Piggy to establish law and order. He introduces that ralph is the leader then Ralph introduces the conch.The conch is a shell which you can blow in, Ralph introduced law that whoever has the conch can talk and everyone has to listen. But then a rebel comes in named Jack and breaks Law and order down and he starts his own group which ends up killing Piggy. This shows that civilisation isn't easy to have. You can have civilisation one minute then the next will be a fight. CIVILISATION- CASTAWAY In castaway Chuck tries to stay civilised, He gets a volleyball from a package and names it Wilson which reminded him of Kelly.... ... middle of paper ... ...ly. Wilson gave him sense that he is not alone on this island that he had a friend helping him along the way. CONCLUSION- In conclusion lord of the flies and and the movie castaway is almost the same by having the same aim for the characters to leave the island, survive. Piggy in Lord of the flies wanted everyone to stay civilised just like chuck didn't want to go crazy. Both authors have made a good story that have the same priority. My opinion on Lord of the flies is that the kids spent to long on that island, Its a good story, has a good ending anding but i wish piggy didn't have to die i was hoping it would be Jack. I would rate it 9/10 and is recommended for the years 12 and up. My opinion on Castaway is that good plot wasn't expecting most things were going to happen like him surviving for 4 years, i would rate the movie 10/10 as it was interesting movie.
