Lincoln-Douglas Debate



Lord of the Flies comparison with Survivor

Survivor – Season 2 – Disc 1 – Episode 1 – “Stranded”

1. Where is this show taking place?

2. How is this situation similar to LOF? How does it differ?

3. The host tells us that the challengers will be “battling the elements of the Outback and each other” – how did the characters in LOF battle the island’s elements and each other?

4. The challengers in Survivor are: Colby, Maralyn, Keith, Mitchell, Jerri, Kel, Amber, Tina, Michael, Alicia, Rodger, Elisabeth, Kimmi, Jeff, Nick, and Debb – How do characters from LOF compare? (Consider Ralph, Jack, Simon, Piggy, Roger, Sam, Eric, etc.)

5. There are 2 competing tribes in Survivor: Ogakar & Kucha – what connection does this have to LOF?

6. There are tensions between the Kucha tribe on the initial 5 mile hike to their flag. In LOF, who are the tensions between initially? How do those relationships evolve?

Notice: The attention shelter and fire are given in Survivor and the attention Ralph gives shelter and the fire in LOF.

SKIP: 17:00 to 18:13

7. What is the first challenge the competitors have to participate in? What do they have to do?

Notice: There are 3 or 4 camera shots of a pair of glasses – what significance do glasses play in LOF?

7. What could the tribal council be compared to in LOF?

8. The host tells us at the tribal council that “fire represents life.” How does it represent life in Survivor? How does it represent life in LOF?

9. The host asks Rodger if he thought there was any leadership taken by someone in their tribe. What does Rodger answer? What would you answer for LOF?

10. When Debb has been voted off, the host puts out her torch and says “Your tribe has spoken.” How has the group of boys in LOF “spoken” about who they want in their “tribe”? Who is accepted? Who is not? Who have they chosen as leaders?

Note: In Survivor the competitors vote people out of their tribe and they are forced to go home. In LOF, it seems that the group of boys have voted (literally and figuratively) who will lead and who will follow; who is accepted and who is an outcast. Which characters would you place in which group?
