  • Lord Of The Flies And Castaway Comparison

    In the novel, The Lord of the Flies, it is shown when the boys are having a feast after they killed their first pig and the rain comes. When the boys start to fear that the rain wouldn’t stop they see a creature emerging from the woods. Not knowing the beast was actually simon, “out of terror rose another desire, thick, urgent, blind. ‘Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood’… It came darkly, uncertainly. The shrill screaming rose before the beast was like a pain” (Golding 152). In the quote the boys are viciously killing Simon because they think that he is the beast, they are in fear which demonstrates that fear causes one to think irrationally and act upon it. It is this very quote that proves that fear will drive one’s decisions and actions because it caused the boys to act without thinking, ultimately leading them to kill Simon due to the fear of the beast. Overall, this establishes how fear drives one’s decisions and actions. Along the same lines, the topic of how fear influences a person's actions and decisions is also seen in the movie Castaway. The main character, Chuck Noland is stranded on the island by himself, he can’t start a fire, he can’t find food, and can’t find water. This leads him to feel helpless and afraid

  • Jaws: The Movie versus the Book

    893 Words  | 2 Pages

    ...k cant nearly provide the same fear as actually seeing the water and waiting for the shark to jump out and decapitate someone. Steven Spielberg also left us guessing because as the movie went on we got to see more and more of what the shark looked like until WHAM! The shark jumps out of the water and leaves at our seats to enjoy a blood-splattering finale. While reading the book I kept going and going waiting to get to a spin tingling conclusion and then all I read was how the shark suddenly floated away. I felt teased as if a girlfriend kissed you all over and left you there to stay with no action for the night! Part of it was the fact that I saw the movie before I read the book so my expectations were very high for the book seeing that Jaws is a classic. Overall I think Jaws is one of the few times that the movie actually beat the book by a very long shot.

    People have goals everyday, believe it or not some people think that dreams aren't worth it.

    ...said, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Another striking difference between the movie and the book is that both are developed by different sexes. This obviously could effect the compare and contrast views of this paper. For example, being male, I found that the two images that left the greatest impression were of sexual nature, Gertrudis making love with the soldier, and Tita being intimate with Pedro. The different views of the sexes may also be the answer to some of the contrasts between the movie and novel. For instance, the death of Mama Elena. Esquirel’s version fits the emotional death, suicide, geared toward the female audience, while Arau’s shows a more sexual and violent death, extinguishing the male desire for action. In conclusion, I found the novel more entertaining than the movie. The reason the movie fell short in expectations is because Esquirel does a great job in allowing the reader to draw on their imaginations. However, Arau is able to capture this imagery occasionally throughout the movie. Furthermore, most of the changes added to the movie were grand, which added to the thrill and plot of the story. Overall, both are memorable and deserve their legacy.

    In conclusion, details involving the characters and symbolic meanings to objects are the factors that make the novel better than the movie. Leaving out aspects of the novel limits the viewer’s appreciation for the story. One may favor the film over the novel or vice versa, but that person will not overlook the intense work that went into the making of both. The film and novel have their similarities and differences, but both effectively communicate their meaning to the public.

  • Lord of the Flies: Fear of the Unknown

    1000 Words  | 2 Pages

    A distressing emotion aroused by impending evil and pain, whether the threat is real or imagined is described as fear. Fear is what William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies encompasses. By taking three major examples from the novel, fear will be considered on different levels: Simon’s having no instance of fear, Ralph’s fear of isolation on the island, and Jack’s fear of being powerless. Fear can make people behave in ways that are foreign to them, whether their fear is real or imagined. In response to fear, people may act defensively by attacking, fear can either stop one from doing something, or it can make one behave in an irrational erratic manner.
