Movie and Book Comparison
In the book Lord of the Flies there are many comparisons between the book and the movie and difference the plot in movie was different than how it was in the book in the movie they changed the some ways of the characters like the way the acted and the story line was different as well.
The three major differences that I seen in the movie was how the conch was shattered and how there was an adult with them on the island and Ralphs Attitude towards Piggy. In contrast to the book, Ralph would constantly support Piggy, and stick up for him when he was being bullied.

    From the beginning of the book the conch was introduced, it represented the boys civilization,and showed their life changing on the island. In the beginning the boys were all for a chief, the conch was there right from the start. It was introduced as a talking stick and as an elected item in the story to represent their humanity and civilization. "Shut up," said Ralph absently. He lifted the conch. "Seems to me we ought to have a chief to decide things." "A chief! A chief!" This shows how the boys would have the conch elect the leader, Ralph, but also as the talking stick. As he lifted the conch into the air he was showing that he had the power to speak. This quote also shows how the boys respected the concn and it's ‘powers’. Going…

    “Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy...” (Golding, William). “And at that moment, in the space of only a few seconds, he learned a lot about himself. About the Thomas he was before. He couldn’t leave a friend to die” (The Maze Runner). In these quotes, there is a connection that shows how the book, The Lord of the Flies compares to the movie The Maze Runner. Correlating the two productions, they both show their character being sympathetic towards a companion, that seemed to be close. These quotes characterize their words, almost giving you the sensitive feeling to feel with them. Throughout The Lord of the Flies and The Maze Runner the environment,…

    The conch is a powerful symbol of society and order in the island. At the beginning, when Ralph found the conch on the beach shore, all the kids came together for an assembly. After that, they made a rule, only the person who was holding the conch would be allowed to speak at the meetings, this worked well at the beginning. There was a point in the novel where the savage boys began to disrespect the conch and what it stood for, like a rebellion.

The conch represented civility and organization, but soon became nothing put a broken sea shell.…

    In Lord of the Flies, several symbols are used to illustrate important ideas that are crucial to the plot and meaning of the book. One of these symbols is the conch: this rare shell is not only a precious and expensive in the world of merchandise; it also holds a dark and mysterious power over a group of English boys, lost on an island with no adults, clues, or means of escape. The boys set up a civilization and try to live in the society they have set up. This system works for a while, aided by the power of the conch. However, as the story advances, the civilized way of life that the boys have set up starts falling apart, and savagery starts luring certain boys outside of the safe and rational walls of civilization. William Golding intertwines the fast-paced, enticing story of the boys’ plight on the island and the descent into savagery with the powerful and deeply meaningful symbolism of the conch.…
