I understand why jack compared hunting to war. I think that hunting and war are comparable because they involve killing. In hunting you stalk your pray and wait for the perfect time to attack and attempted to kill it. Same goes for war, You're suppose to watch your enemies. Watch their every move, plan for an attack and wait for the perfect time to commit the attack. Intelligence , Reconnaissance, and Patience are three traits that good hunters and a well organized military have in common. In hunting & war, you can't fight or hunt without weapons. Without weapons these events are impossible

Yes I agree with Jack, and I think you can compare hunting to war. First you use wepons in both war and in hunting.Whether you use guns or spears you use wepons.You kill other living things in war and in hunting. Next, I think that war and hunting makes a person desensitized.
I think this, because you have to kill people and animals in war and in hunting. Eventually, the killing takes its toll and you morales of whats right and wrong are shifted. In war and and in hunting you need to strike at the perfect time. If you don't do this in hunting you wont get anything. If this happens in war your troops are as good as dead. Thats how I think hunting is like war.

War and hunting are not usually associated together. In this situation I do believe that war and hunting are similar. The two are both usually in the nature and outdoors. In hunting, you try and make yourself blend in with your surroundings so the animal does not notice you. In war, you do the same thing so you do not get killed by the enemy. Camouflage is only one of the reasons how war and hunting are similar.
Another similarity is the stalking aspect. When you hunt, you need to be aware of your surroundings and stalk the animal that you wish to kill. In war, you stalk the enemy to kill them and make sure that you don't get killed. War also involves killing in most cases. When you hunt, you are trying to kill the animal. Both war and hunting involve stalking, killing, nature, and camouflage.

I agree with Jack, I agree with him because hunting and war can be very comparable for multiple reasons. But two of the reasons can be that you have to be skilled at what you are doing. You can't just go out and expect to kill anything. You have to go through training and courses for hunting and war.
My second reason is that you have to obey all rules. In war you have to listen to whatever the leader says you can't do as you please. In hunting you have a rule book you have to follow by so you or no one else will get hurt. Also, you kill people or animals with weapons in hunting and war.

From an objective point of view, war and hunting are similar, maybe even the same. Hunting is essential for living, we need food, so we go and hunt some animals. Of course, we don't NEED war like we need hunting. The major difference between war and hunting it that hunting is killing for survival. In LOTF, the boys need to hunt to survive, jack says it's more important to to right away rather than building shelters.
The boys start out well enough, but eventually start their own "war" and turn on each other. Jack is angry and Ralph, and the boys don't like Piggy and so on. This "war" between the would have been easily avoided had they not let their impulses get to them. In reality, wars are never needed, but happen either way.

I agree with Jack. You can compare hunting to war. You are trying to hide from something when you are hunting, so you can attack something. In war, you are hiding so you are not seen by an enemy. Also, you do not get killed.
My other reason is that you are using weapons in hunting and war. In hunting you are using weapons to kill animals. In war, you are using weapons to kill people. Hunting and war all include weapons and hiding.

I think that the both have similar and different things to them. In hunting you go to kill a animal without them knowing at the last second. In war both sides know that they are trying to kill each other so they both are on guard. The animal has no idea that it is being hunted unless the hunter makes a mistake it doesn't get to protect itself. Where humans can prepare for war at the given time. Hunting and war are similar because they both have the idea of killing something for a goal. Hunting you are trying to get meat to live. You can have multiple reasons to start a war be it that you want land , power or money. In the end you are still killing something for a prize or something. That's why hunting and war are similar and different

I agree but also disagree with Jack about hunting and war being similar. There are very much alike but they are also very much different. One way they are similar is because for both hunting a war there are two sides. In both you are killing someone or something.There is also training for both of them. You have to know what your doing. You cant just jump right into it. But there are many reasons why they are different. For war there is a reason to start war. It may be that someone want s money, land, power, or just wants to start a problem in general. But for hunting you are just doing it for fun or for your own need of food, clothing, exc. Theres no killing human beings involved. This is why I agree and disagree with Jack with war and hunting being comparable.
