This Spoils the Ending
In the Book In the Movie
   Louden gets nose bleeds due to injuries on the mat. He has had blood vessels cauterized a few times. The coach thinks Louden might be losing some strength as a result of his weight loss. The nose bleeds are implied to be a result of his weight loss. Louden is getting weaker as shown by his losing an arm wrestling match with Elmo.
   On the trip to visit Louden's grandfather, Louden and Carla camp near the road at night. Carla and Louden have sex for the first time in the tent. Louden keeps a Luger pistol handy for self-defense. When he accidentally hits a doe with the truck, Carla is cut on the arm when she tries to pet it. Louden kills the injured doe with the pistol. Louden and Carla have sex for the sex time in a field near the grandfather's house. Nothing about a deer or carrying a pistol.
   The wrestling coach (Rata) is Japanese. The coach is white.
   Louden's dad has a girlfriend. No girlfriend.
   Carla, Louden's dad, his girlfriend, his mother and her new husband are at the match to watch him wrestle Shute. Louden's dad, grandfather and Emlo are with Carla to watch the meet.
