** Comparing Texts: “//The Hunger Games”// and “//Lord of the Flies”// ** By Exavier H. This essay will give the reader information about how //The Hunger Games// and //Lord of the Flies// are similar. //The Hunger Games// by Suzanne Collins and //Lord of the Flies// by William Golding have a different setting. They are also told in a different way and style. But, they share the same theme. That theme is: even when all hope is lost, never give up. Another important theme is survival.

Let’s first take a look at //The Hunger Games//. One example of never giving up is when Katniss’s sister, Primrose, is call up as a tribute. Katniss did everything in her power to stop that from happening. In the end, she volunteered for her. In the Hunger Games, there are 24 tributes that must fight to the death and only one can come out alive. Because of this fact, Katniss’s odds of surviving are very slim. Another example is when Peeta has a hurt leg. If nothing is done, he will bleed to death. So Katniss covers it up and tries to keep the blood in. In the end both Katniss and Peeta survive the Hunger Games. Throughout the book, Katniss’s actions proved that she never gave up so as to help anyone possible to survive.

Now let us examine the //Lord of the Flies//. One example of never giving up from this book is making a fire. At first they could not figure it out. They never gave up though. They found out that Piggy’s glasses would start a fire. They tried to never let the fire out. Another example is when order broke apart and there was chaos. This was corrected by breaking up into two sides – two leaders, two tribes.

These examples are only a few examples the have the theme of “even when all hope is lost, never give up.” In fact, a lot of the books out there consist of this theme. If you want to read books on the theme “when all hope is lost, never give up,” I recommend that you read the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz.
