The Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, was novel about a group of boys deserted on an island. White Squall was a movie about a group of boys who are part of a school trip while sailing around the world. These two stories are very similar in some senses but have very good contrasting points also. My next three paragraphs will tell you about that.
             The first major thing that I noticed was all of the conflicts that these boys face, both internally and externally. In Lord of the Flies, the conflicts are simple. There is a battle for hierarchy, which only leads to worse things. This battle starts internally inside of Jack, who wants to be the leader. This is the main place where the boys seem to break apart into their groups, and they even start to lose their civilized manners. In White Squall, the main conflict of the story is the weather. Though that is at the end, which can be foreshadowed. There are a few internal conflicts about fear of heights and even being non-intellectual. The movie seems to have less conflicts then the book does.
             The protagonists in these two stories even have different views we see them in. The antagonist is ultimately the same in both stories. Ralph, the protagonist in Lord of the Flies, is seen as being part of the story and that is it. He wants only the best for his group but Jack, the antagonist, questions that. They fight, which causes the disbandment of the boys. Jack in Lord of the Flies is basically the downfall of what seemed to be a very organized little group. In White Squall, the protagonist is Chuck. We not only get to see his point of view but he also gives us narrative views. He seems to be the glue that holds the ship together. The antagonist is ultimately their main conflict, the weather. It tears the group apart, but they ultimately rekindle their past brotherhood at the end.
