EF_Team2 1 / 1,708 Apr 6, 2007 #2Greetings!While I can't help you with specific themes, not having read the books, I can give you some general advice that should help. When you're stuck and looking for ideas about themes and such, it's helpful to find what others have written about the subject. It's usually a lot easier to find analyses of older works like Lord of the Flies. You'll have no trouble at all finding a lot of information on it. I would suggest you do a little reading to find what themes from LOTF have been discussed, then see which one you can most easily use in your comparison to Koontz's book. I suspect that once you start looking at Koontz's book with a particular theme in mind, you'll be able to lift examples from that book to compare to LOTF.Give this a try and see if it helps!Thanks,Sarah, EssayForum.com
