Lord Of The Flies

     Lord of The Flies is a great book, although, the movie was much much better I thought. The movie and the book start off on the same foot, so to speak. The story starts out with a exploring. "The boy with fair hair lowered himself down the last few feet of rock and began to pick his way toward the lagoon. Though he had taken off his school sweater and trailed it now from one hand, his grey shirt stuck to him and his hair was plastered to his forehead." This gives you an idea of how much William Golding (the author) likes to describe, in great detail, the situations in the book.
     From what I can remember; in the movie it starts out with a group of boys, from an academy, getting off a survival raft. They are on a suvival raft because their plane crashed. The boy's clothes are torn and they look like they were at sea for days. They arrive at the island and right away they start searching for food and shelter. They are all from America also.

He kept his distance from everyone. Later in the book we find out that his name is Roger. Then all of their other names were Bill, Robert, Harold, Henry, Samneric and Simon.
     In the film the boys build an elaborate shelter that is almost prepostorous to build if you look at it carefully. Althogh, it is very helpful for the boys. The boys then search the island and see if it is really an island; they find out that it is. They then decide to build a fire on the highest part of the island so that if an airplane or ship went by they would see smoke. If they heard a plane, they would quickly through big green banches and leaves on it. This would make a lot of dark smoke.

     In the book they do all of this also. The differince is that they just make little huts or roofs for shelter. They also try to spell out HELP!. They figure that it is so low that a plane or let alone a ship would not see it. So they go to step B: build a big fire.
     The film and the book share similarities, such as; the boys go on "pig runs". A little boy once saw a pig, warthog, and they figured it would be nice to have something better tha...
