Idea of Surviving. 10/23/12

In all media there are different ideas of what Survival actually is and in what circumstances it is needed.  In the Movie, Battle: Los Angeles, they face an unknown enemy with powers beyond their own. They are forced to fight; either that or die. This sense of survival is the same as in Lord of the Flies, in that both are scared of an unknown enemy, after an unexpected and unplanned for event occurs. In contrast to the book, Lord of the flies do not have access to weapons like guns and bombs, nor flight transportation like helicopters or aircrafts. In Lord of the flies, the boys are Boys are not only fighting against nature but also amongst themselves, which is the same in Battle: Los Angeles.
