Have you read the book “Lord of the Flies?

I need to write a comparative essay with this book and im comparing to the real survival story that takes place in the Andes Mountains in 1972 when the plane crashed and the only way for them to survive was to eat human flesh of those who had deceased. I have some good point but how do you think these two stories compare on a psychological aspect? and if you have other opinions on what i could compare them with please share!

Thank you for those who can help 5 stars for the best answer!

hey, you know what would be worth mentioning? Look up for ‘Stanford prison experiment’, I highly recommend it. It would say you much about authority and leaders and it’s a perfect example that these things may happen in reality as well. It has parallels about the beast inside us as well.(the beast that children were afraid of)

Also, you may mention that author wrote that book inspired by ww2.

There are 2 groups of children, remember? that was two different ways to try to behave in such a situation: the first one(led by Jack) tried to destruct others (how are they called? hunters or smth), another (led by Ralph)-to survive. According to Freud, there is thanatos-a need to destruct and eros-a need to survive. Children reflect these two needs I think.

I don’t know much about that plane, sorry a lot,but I hope it helped a bit:)

JUST ADDED IT:): You may write about these people in mountains as an example that in extreme conditions we all can do some terrible things which we would never do in ordinary life. Maybe it is that beast inside us? (and it connects with a beast that these kids were afraid of. It didn’t exist actually, they knew it, they all were afraid of…themselves? just think, where normally beasts come from. dark and mysterious places…isn’t our minds dark and mysterious as well?)

You know, I’d love to write such an essay! Write how was the writing for you:)
