Some similarities in the settings are that in the beginning when the plane crashes he ends up in a forest. Lastly, when he got saved by the rescue plane he went back home to his family.
Thirdly, the differences in the characters is when Brian’s mom fell in love with a blond man in the novel, but in the movie she was kissing a brunette man in front of a tree. Another difference is when the bear attacks him and the animals he saw in the novel was a bear, skunk, a porcupine, wolves and a moose, but in the movie he saw a raccoon, porcupine, bear,and wolves.
