Similarity and Differences in Power Structure between Power of One and Lord of the Flies
The power structure in Power of One is similar to Lord of the Flies because there is a bad leader and his group. The bad leader and his group are really violent and act like savages. In the Power of One, the Nazi boys form a circle and the leader kills the chicken and injures PK, a British boy. Before this, the Nazi boys have bully the British boy because of his race. In the Lord of the Flies, Jack and his group kill Piggy and Simon because they maintain their morals. The boys in Power of One and Lord of the Flies all become violent and aggressive. There are some differences in the power structure between the Power of One and Lord of the Flies. The difference is that in the Lord of the Flies, there's a conch, representing authority and civilization, which protects Ralph, Piggy, and Simon for a short time. Also there are two power; Ralph who has power to keep the boys civilized for a while and Jack, who came to power later, brought the boys to savagery. Most of the boys follow Jack's leadership because they want to survive. While in the Power of One, there are Nazi captains abusing and hitting black prisoners because of prejudice. The German have power to do that to the black prisoners. Even normal black people are treated unfairly by the Nazis. The Nazis have power because they have weapons and they always hit black people in order to maintain their power. Also the setting in Power of One is in a civilized place, while the setting in the Lord of the flies is in an uncivilized place, so the way power is used is different.
