Book vs. Movie Review

There are some differences between William Golding’s book Lord Of The Flies and Harry Hook’s movie. One of the differences was the presence of an adult on the island. The second difference was the importance of the conch. Third, factor that was different about the movie and the book was that the kids on the island in the movie were from the same school and in the book they were not.

The presence of the captain in the island on the movie made the kids feel more secure. Although he was not able to even speak the presence of him gave them hope that he could recover and guide them and help them on their way off the island. In case of the book, Golding makes only kids survive to make it more dramatic. Also, this will show how the kids became even more salvage with the passing of time, and how they fought, thanks to the lack of organization.

The importance of the conch in the book and the movie are different. In the book Golding uses the conch as a symbolism, and emphasizes it to make the story richer in poetic devices. In the movie they just wanted to tell an exiting story so the people enjoy it. Also I a movie they don’t want to make a big deal on the conch because that will make it harder to understand.

The Last difference is that in the book the kids didn’t know each other and in the movie they came from the same school and they did know each other. This made a difference on how the group separated. In the book they all needed to know each other and pick who was the leader and who would they follow, and in the movie since they knew each other they knew who should be the leader or whom would they be with.
