Difference in lord of the flies and cast away

This week in class we will be watching Castaway, a film about a FedEx worker whose plane crashes and is abandoned on a deserted island. Many will say that the director of this film was, in some ways, inspired by Golding’s tale Lord of the Flies. As you are watching be on the lookout for the items below, and by Thursday, March 10, 2016, post a thoughtful reply outlining parallels between these two pieces.

1) Note as many similarities and differences between the characters experience and the experience of the boys in Lord of the Flies

2) Note any instances that make us aware that the director was well versed in Golding’s story

3) Any distinct differences? Does he ever attempt to make a different statement about human nature?

4) Note instances of tension between civility and savagery.

5) Any symbols that emerge, as did in Lord of the Flies?
