The two books are separated by 50 years, but even still they share some similarities. Lord of the Flies takes place in the 1950’s on a deserted island, during a world war. Where “Lost” also takes place on a deserted island, but closer to modern day times. The characters from both books arrived on the islands by plane crashes. They immediately choose a leader and started finding methods to survive. While keeping will to survive both characters in both books discover a “beast”. One of these beasts (the polar bear in “Lost”) is real and the other is a figment of of the the boys’ imagination in “Lord of the Flies”. In both books, the characters end up conquering the beasts. With all the similarities, the deaths are what make the books so

He did not deserve to die, and was not meant to be killed. They had been stressing to eliminate the beast when it was inside their minds the whole time, and the only one who knew this was Ralph. While the boys were in a tumult over the “beast”, they were sensitive to anything in the moment. They wanted it gone. So when Simon stumbled over a steep edge of the rock in the dark night, they automatically assumed it was the “beast”. “Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!” they chanted as they “screamed, struck, bit, and tore” the beast apart. And once the boys had realized what they had done, who they had actually killed...they were distraught. They had no intentions to kill Simon. Are they murderers? In my opinion, I do believe the boys are guilty with murder. Third degree murder to be more exact. They were in a state that caused them to be mentally disturbed, but they still killed someone, one of their friends. And this does make them …show more content…
He was going to die anyway from previous abdominal injuries that resulted from the plane crash. Kate wanted to put him out of his misery, and Sawyer agreed. Dr. Jack Shepard felt obligated to save his life, while everyone else on the island felt it was unnecessary to waste materials and medicine on someone dying. Jack still had hope for him, but Mars realized it was pointless as well, because he would die in days time. So Mars talked Sawyer into using the one bullet the gun had left on him. Sawyer aimed at his chest and pulled the trigger. He meant to hit his heart, but had missed and the suffering for the Marshal began. Jack heard his gasping for air and knew it would take hours for him to die. He couldn't watch him be in pain as he died, so he did what he thought he had too. Jack held a pillow over Mars’ face until his body became lifeless. Jack and Sawyer are both responsible for his death, but Mars death I believe was assisted suicide. He wanted to die and he was already dying, Sawyer just attempted to speed up the process, and Jack was ultimately the one who killed Mars.
Piggy always felt hated and looked down upon, and the boys made fun of him constantly for being fat and annoying. So when they had the opportunity to make him shut up for good, they took it without thinking. All Piggy was trying to do was bring the boys back to their right states of mind with his words. As he was speaking, a boulder was
