compare the island in the opening and closing chapters of the novel lord of the flies.
Whenever you are writing a comparison/contrast paper (paragraph, essay, research paper), you need to plan it out very carefully on paper first.
Try this:
1. Write all the information about one of your topics on one page.
2. Write all the information about the other topic on another page.
3. Then put them together in this order:
1. Intro
2. All about topic A
~~~2A. detail 1
~~~2B. detail 2
~~~2C. detail 3
~~~2D. detail 4
~~~2E. detail 5
3. All about topic B
~~~3A. detail 1
~~~3B. detail 2
~~~3C. detail 3
~~~3D. detail 4
~~~3E. detail 5
4. Concl.
The number of details for each topic will vary depending on your main points. I would include comparisons (how they are similar) in the introduction and conclusion, but sections 2 and 3 and all those details will be stating and explaining how they are different.
There are two recognized patterns for writing comparison/contrast papers. One is casually referred to as "zig-zag,” but can be very confusing for the reader if you don’t use transitions effectively. The other is topic-by-topic (which is what I've outlined above) and is much easier for the reader to follow.

To compare the island in the opening and closing chapters of the novel Lord of the Flies, we need to analyze the textual descriptions of the island in both sections. Here's how you can do it:
1. Read the opening chapter: Start by reading the description of the island in the opening chapter. Pay attention to any details about its appearance, landscape, vegetation, or any other relevant features. Take notes on what you find.
2. Read the closing chapter: Next, read the description of the island in the closing chapter. Look for any differences or changes in the island's appearance, condition, or atmosphere compared to the opening chapter. Again, make notes of what you discover.
3. Compare the notes: Now that you have notes on both the opening and closing chapters, analyze and compare them. Look for similarities and differences between the island's features, conditions, and any impacts on the characters. Consider the changes that occur over the course of the novel and note any causes or reasons for these changes.
4. Identify the contrasts or similarities: Based on your analysis, identify the key contrasts or similarities between the island in the opening and closing chapters. Is the island more or less inviting? Has it become more or less inhabitable? Is its symbolism altered? Are there any significant changes to its role in the story?
5. Formulate your comparison: Lastly, use your notes to draft a comparison of the island in the opening and closing chapters. Highlight the significant differences or similarities you have identified and explain their significance in terms of the novel's themes, events, or character developments.
Remember, the comparison will depend on your interpretation and analysis of the text. This step-by-step process will help guide you through the analysis and enable you to effectively compare the island in Lord of the Flies.
