The Lord Of The Flies: Book Vs Movie

Picture the whole family sitting on the couch watching a movie, then bang the hero is faced with what most believe is an insurmountable task, at the end of the movie the family realized that the moment the dreadful event happened and was overcome, was what made the story what it was. The Fall of all stories starts with a trigger that starts the ball rolling, it starts the descent from a high to a low state. Every movie, book or poem has one, even if the spectator does not realize it. There is a main Fall that leads to the ending and without the Fall the movie/book/poem would not end in the same way. In the movie The Hunger Games screenplay by Gary Ross, Katniss Everdeen, a teenager from District 12, volunteers for her sister to become a tribute
The gene is activated by a certain event. Jack in The Lord of the Flies could’ve activated this gene after he kills his first pig. After he kills the pig he has a thirst for hunting and killing. The Lord of the Flies also had a Fall that eventually led to the burning of the island. When put on an island with no adults, the children are forced to fend for themselves. Upon their arrival, Ralph and Piggy find a conch that brings all of the boys together. As the reader progresses through the story they realize how vital that conch is. Towards the end of sanity, the conch is broken. “The breaking of the conch and the deaths of Piggy and Simon lay over the island like vapor” (Golding 184). Golding knows that because of the breaking of the conch it would prompt what the savages do and say and also what side they selected. Because of Jack’s radical mindset Ralph has no alliance with anyone and he is isolated from others. Jack is the reason for the divide between the boys. After Jack possessed his first taste of blood with the pig, he started to want more and more power. Leading to the breaking of the conch, allowing all order within the island to
The Capitol could be considered like the Jack, the Capitol tries to instill fear into the Districts so that they won’t act out. After Rue dies, District 11 revolts against the peacekeepers within their district. But why would they rebel now, when for the past 73 years they have had people die in the games? Katniss shows District 11, through a subtle and heartfelt motion, that Rue shouldn’t have died in the Games. She felt remorse for Rue’s district, for witnessing her death because of the Capitol’s beliefs and values. After Rue dies, Katniss is left alone and isolated from everybody else until she finds Peeta. This is like Lord of the Flies, because after the Fall, Ralph was isolated until he found the twins (Sam and Eric) that tried him safe until Jack scared them into switching sides. At the end of the movie, Katniss and Peeta started to eat the berries (just like Sam and Eric helped Ralph), and the Capitol got nervous so they let Katniss and Peeta live. The Fall caused these events to unfold within both the book and the movie. Unlike Hunger Games, Ralph was betrayed at the end of the book, whereas Katniss was betrayed by Peeta at the beginning of the game. In both productions, without these events, the characters would have never gotten to the Fall, or the Fall wouldn’t have been as dramatic. If Peeta didn’t betray Katniss for a time, then the Games could’ve pushed them to
