  4. I want to share the differences between the movie and the book. I noticed that Simon and Piggy find nothing in the book but if we watch its movie. They find an accordion from the sea. Simon is black in the book and he is white in the movie. If you ask me that is an enormous difference lol. In the book while they weren't keeping the fire alive. A ship passes the island. If we watch the movie again. A plane passes even the fire was alive. In the book again, Piggy ask children their names to make a list however there is no such thing in the movie. Again In the movie Simon don't talk with the lord of the flies but if we read that book, we see that Simon talks with the lord of the flies. At the end of the story book, British army arrives at island but in the movie Us soldiers come to that island and the last difference that i noticed is at the begining of the story. When the plain crashes, Ralph's arm was injured in the book but in the movie he is alive and kicking. That's all for now. Cya guys :)))))

  8. IN the book there is no adult in the island but when we watch the film there is an alive pilot .This situation disturbs to viewer.In the book Ralph is fair boy but in the film Ralph is not fair boy.Morever,in the book children’s hair became a longer but in the film is not.May be most important thing is in the book dialogue between Simon and lord of the flies but we can not see this dialogue in the film.In the book children eat meat and fruits but in the movie they also eat lizard .In the movie Ralph’s arm is broken but in the book is not.In the film Jack helphed Raplh to build shelters but in the book Jack didn’t help him because he just wanted to catch pig.First time in the book Samaneric saw the beast but in the movie one of the hunters saw the beast.In the movie Sam and Eric painted their face but in the book they did not paint their face because they did not want to seems like savage . ..
