The books, Fahrenheit 451 and the Lord of the Flies, accommodate many ideas about human nature. Some may compare and contrast the two. Some may never have even thought of a connection and read them with mindless affection. Lord of the Flies is a book that's main idea was how humans act in their unique situations. The entire story is just one big essay on human behavior. On the other side, there is Fahrenheit 451. This one is a certain type of obvious with its human behavior ideology that it could be missed. These two are similar in the regard of their outlook on how people desire things within a ‘controlled’ society, and they both place a war within the story. They don’t differ much. In fact, there are far more similarities, but they do differ…show more content… William Golding shows his audience many areas of what would happen to people away from society like, “The sticks fell and the mouth of the new circle crunched and screamed.

All the books he quotes are old which shows how old the book, Fahrenheit 451, really is. One might say that he is a very smart man, but maybe like the television he is just there to make people happy and to keep them where they are supposed to be. Everything he says could just be a rehearsed skit of stay within the lines or get punished. This society, that surrounds keeping the truth from the people, is just like the bible says, “Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour.
