My first point of this comparative analysis is about Golding's book, he is trying to show that the kids had to depend on themselves without any authority. in the movie there was an adult on the island because he was rescued by Ralph after the crash. this changed the plot because there was one extra person on the island. he was hurt and about to die, but even though he didn't help the kids in their elections and stop them from killing Simon and Piggy the story was changed. In the movie the captain represented authority.
my second point of this analysis is about the boys nationality. in the book the boys are English. golding made them English because in that time young boys were being evacuated from London because of the bombings. also because the English are very proper and it would be a contradiction if they turned savages. in the movie the boys were Americans. this changed the movie because of their knowledge, language and personality was more savage like. their actions were more savage. they wanted more freedom.
my last reason is that in Golding's book none of the kids knew each other. golding did this to show that every kid had to be dependent and had to get to know each other and work to achieve something. in the movie all the kids came from the same american military school. this changed the plot because in the begining when they were "electing" a leader they knew that ralph was the colonel so he would be the leader. this shows how there was integrity.
after reading the book and watching the movie I can say the book was much better.
If a movie will be made after a movie I think it should be almost the same, same plot same characters and same idea. Even though the main idea was the same there were many changes that have really ruined peoples idea of a great book.
