Lord of the Flies Book vs Movie
In the Book |
In the Movie |
The pilot of a jet plane is found in the cave. He is believed to be the beast. |
The pilot was with the boys when they crashed. He was delusional and escaped and went to the cave. He died there and the boys eventually found his body. |
When the boys fail to keep the signal fire lit, a ship passes and they don't get rescued. |
It is an airplane that passes.
|
There is a boy with a large mulberry birthmark on his face. |
He doesn't appear. |
The conch is eventually shattered when Piggy is killed. |
The conch is not shown being destroyed.
|
Jack attempts to get the boys to revote the leadership and when he fails, he leaves the group to start his own. |
There is no revote because Ralph is of a higher rank and was the leader almost by default. Jack simply leaves the group and starts his own. |
