Who's read Lord of the Flies?

This might be a bit of a streatch but am I the only one who's noticed the parallels between Lost and Lord of the Flies? I mean besides the obvious point being that it was a plane crash on an Island.

Ok - First off, something strange is going on on both islands. Some sort of, thing, running around on both, although in Lord of the Flies it seems to be more in the boys minds, then an actual physical thing runing around.

Secondly - Both had the people split into two groups, the group that's trying to survive, and the group that's working to get resuced.

thridly - Pig. In Lord of the Flies the pig became some sort of wierd god thing, and I don't think its coincidence that Locke got a pig caught in the net. Remember what was said about every prop having a pourpose? Couldn't that pig be a prop, sort of?

I'm not sure what it means, or where its gonna go, or even if its really relavant, but I thought I'd share.

It's been a long time but I've read "Lord of the Flies". Man, what a great book! One of my all time favorites even though at the moment my mind is drawing blank. I have good reason though...I have the flu.

Anyways, there are a lot of similarities between the book and the show but I also think there are similarities between the show and the book "Watership Down". I think the show is playing off both of these books at the moment but that can change in next week's episode or even after that. I don't know.

I will say that the pig could be a prop with a purpose but it might not be anything either. It simply could be just a pig that gets killed so that they can eat. We do know that there are pigs on the island so there's the food to sustain them. If it's a prop with a purpose then I really can't see it.

Maybe things will be a little clearer in the next few weeks.

Ok, this weeks episode has led to Lost/LOTF parrallel number four: The battle to stay civilized. In LOTF the one group tried to stay as civilized as possible while the other strove to run free. In Lost, you kinda got the same thing happening, Jack is trying to stay civilized (I think he even said something like "We need to behave like civilized human beings." or something to that effect) while Sawyer wants to become more wild.

Still don't know how this relates to anything, or if its just a wild coincedence or what. But am I ever going to be proud of me if a copy of LOTF finds its way into a camera shot.
