When I had to choose a character to compare from the book to the movie, I chose Leboeuf because he was the most different. Leboeuf’s character changes drastically between the two. Although some aspects of Leboeuf’s relationship stayed the same, but their relationship as a whole is very different. Leboeuf’s role in the dugout encounter is completely different.

This was not even similar to the movies. In the movie Mattie and Rooster confront Quincy and Moon on their own, the same outcome takes place. Of course Leboeuf is not on the ridge, because he had left the group earlier. Leboeuf is shown walking up to the dugout followed by the bandits.
