The Lord of the Flies the movie by Harry Hook and the book by William Golding shows many differences. In the movie the pilot stays a while in the island. Another difference is that in the movie the boys were American and not British. In the book they show the littlun´s death and in the movie they don´t.
One of the many differences is that in the book, William Golding decided that the pilot would not be shown alive. In the movie, Harry Hook, keeps the pilot alive just making us enable to see Golding’s point of view. The reason why this makes a difference is because in the book they need a chief because they need a figure like grownup to guide them and tell them what to do.
In the movie the boys were American and they came from the same school and in the book they were from different schools and they were from England. This makes a difference because in the movie Jack and Ralph show how they are friends at the beginning because they are from the same school. Choosing the chief in the movie is easier because Ralph was the Coronel (highest position.) In the book they are from different schools and this make it harder for both to get along. It makes it harder to get along because Jack and Ralph both want to be chief.
Another difference between the movie and the book Lord of The Flies is that in the book one of the littluns dies in the big flames of the fire made by the members on the island and in the movie they don´t show the death. Harry Hook decided not to incorporate this is because it introduces the first death of a member in the island. It shows the lack of order, and the need of a grownup.
A movie and a book are different in many ways; these alterations make a big impact on the conclusion of the story. Seeing the movie and reading the book, made me realize the importance of the chances that Harry Hook and William Golding made. My opinion about the book is that it was well planned and the ideas were arranged in a good way. Although the movie I think is missing some detail in order to make the film make sense.
