Animal Farm and Lord of The Flies, despite the different themes and plots, show the same meanings. Orwell's story is about a farm dictator and the harsh conditions the animals living on the farm are subjected to. This seems like a life or death situation for a group of boys, who must govern themselves, presented in Lord of the Flies. These books have similar themes. They both focus on government and how the people gain power and control the outcomes of their supporters. They show that our world is controlled by people who have both the physical and mental strength to do whatever it takes to get what they want. These people have instincts that bring them closer to a safer life. The leader of Animal Farm's animals is Napoleon, a pig. He doesn't start out as leader, but he takes control when the original leader, Old Major, is killed. Napoleon believed that other animals were just pawns. An example of Napoleon's harsh rule is a scene, after Snowball's death, where Napoleon calls a meeting and begins to report crimes committed by animals. He then has the animals slaughtered on site. “And so the story of confessions and massacres continued until there was a heap of corpses laid before Napoleon’s feet and the air was heavy with the smell of blood.” This quote shows how cruel and power hungry Napoleon was. In Lord of the Flies, the leader, Ralph, is a much more relaxed person. Although he has the intentions of a villain in the story. His ways of being evil are subtle and sometimes even accidental. For example, in one scene a ship sails past the island, but Jack lets the fire burn out. Ralph continues to disrespect Jack in front of the rest of the crew, saying, “I was the boss; and you were... middle of paper... themselves all in an environment that they are not only accustomed to, but dangerous. Due to the nature of their predicament, this made the Lost Boys even more dangerous to themselves. Once all the boys adapted to their new surroundings, they were severely hardened mentally and physically. They were all forced to grow up. and quickly. In conclusion, I concluded that the two books have great similarities but also great differences. Animal Farm is a typical depiction of human behavior, but Orwell describes it as a fairy tale using characters who are animals. However, the flies use the young boys' behavior to show the possible terror and violence that humans are capable of inflicting. In short, both books describe similar theories that humans are naturally deceptive and selfish and cannot contain their primitive impulses..
