A Wrinkle In Time Compare And Contrast Essay

Comparing the book to the movie you can clearly tell what certain things are different. For example, Sydelle Pulaski worked for Mr. Westing in the movie but only talked over the intercom. This not only caused a lot of drama but more depth to the plot. Also, Crow didn’t go to jail but they did talk about most of the consequences of her going to jail. This made a little bit more serious and emotional instead of just letting it go.

I think the movie is better than the book because it’s more visual, has more action, and has props.

One example is there wasn’t a secret room in the greenhouse in the book were Lina and Doon hid from the guards. Another difference is in the book they don’t find and use Doon’s dad’s machine to get through the tunnel to the opening. One really important difference is that in the movie the way out is much more complicated and long. These differences were important because the secret room in the greenhouse helped them hide from the guards and not get caught. Doon’s dad’s machine is an important difference because it tells us that he was trying to escape with Lina’s dad. The way out in the movie was more complicated is important because it adds more action in the movie and makes the movie

The book and movie “A Wrinkle In Time” by Madeleine L'Engle has many differences and similarities. Both movie and book use a thing called the tesseract. The Wrinkle in time is movie that needs a lot of detail because of how much creativity is in the book and the movie doesn't give a lot f detail.

For example, the reader is introduced to Helen as a baby. Meanwhile, in the motion picture the watcher is introduce to Helen when she’s six years old. This a major difference because the reader views how Helen started unlike the watcher of the movie. Another example, in the story Helen is pictured as a filthy mess, but in the film she is always in a nice set of clothes. This is a very important change because it shows how a person depicts Helen. Lastly, Annie is haunted by nightmares of her brother at the State Court house. In the book their is great deal of flashbacks in the story, but in the movie their is only one. This shows how Annie had to fight the voices in her head and the guilt of her “ killing” her brother. Even with these differences, it still tells the amazing story of Helen

The 3 major differences that were seen are the shattering of the conch, the pilot’s presence, and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. Due to these major differences the novel left a greater impact on its readers than the movie on its viewers. Seeing the movie and as well reading the book, personally the book was a better. The book has a very different approach of that showed these 3 major differences to their full extent. Out of the two though, I would choose the book as more pleasant and

The book is better because it gives more excitement and emotion. The book just explains each of the events in great detail. I don’t know about other people, but for me the more information there is, the more I understand it. And in the movie of “The Outsiders”, it does not really say much about what’s going on. For instance, when Johnny dies, in the movie, Ponyboy goes home but it does not tell how long he had been out. In the book, Pony is walking home from the hospital and a man asked him if he wanted a ride (Hinton 151). Though others might think that the movie is better because it visualizes the events that are happening. But, even though it envisions what the book tells about does not mean that it is one hundred percent better.

As we began to watch the movie “A Wrinkle in Time,” we found many differences such as, at the beginning of the story Meg has a flashback of her father unlike in the book. This is an example of the directors not following the story line. As she has this flashback it is foreshadowing her and Charles Wallace finding their father. Another example of the director not following the original story line is in the movie “A Wrinkle in TIme,” they show Mrs.Murray looking up the tesseract unlike in the book. This also is showing foreshadowing because Meg see that her father is stuck in the tesseract the thing her mom was looking up. So, now she knows why she hadn’t seen her father in a five or six years.

One reason that the suspense is better in the book is because it has longer to build up. On example of this is when Mae killed the man in the yellow suit in the book we had to wait a few chapters to find out if he was dead or unconscious. On the other hand, in the movie, we saw him get killed then two minutes later we were told that he was dead and it was much less suspenseful. Another reason that the book is more suspenseful than the movie is the prison scene. In the book, we had this whole build up to Winnie taking Mae’s place in the cell and the sheriff finding out. But, in the movie there wasn’t much time between Mae killing the man and her breaking out of

The direction obviously wants you to feel emotionally connected to the characters. The mood in the book, is constantly changing. One minute you’re laughing and the next, you’re upset and mad at Rex. In the movie, the mood doesn’t really change, it’s mainly just sadness and despair. One of the quotes from the book that stuck to me, was “But I could never enjoy the room without worrying about Mom and Dad huddled on a sidewalk grate somewhere,” (p.4) I love this quote because although Jeanette's relationship with her parents turned for the worst, she still cared for

The movie was more interesting than the book because it helped me visualize the story. Most of the more exciting scenes from the movie are not in the book, this is why I like the movie more than the book.

It had some things in it that the movie did not. First, it started with ponyboy walking out of the movie. Also, it had a lot more emotion. It specifically described how everyone felt and the emotions seemed more vivid. The novel introduced all the characters, telling their physical appearance, background, and personality.

The film is better because rather than a book, which most people would rather to read, they are more likely to watch a film that turns up on T.V. Most people don’t pick up a book after high school but a film is something that people frequently watch. In addition to the massive range of the film, it, unlike the book, is presented with audio cues and visual images that the book lacks. Individuals, who don’t have the time or patience to read a book that is only words, can watch an animated and indulging film that diffuses the same message as the book and perhaps, even more because of all the characters that come to play in the

Madeleine L'Engle a French author uses a creative mixture of science and fairy tale magic for building the story line in her book A Wrinkle in Time. From beginning to end Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin go through adventure after adventure bursting with animated fairy-tale characteristics. This book has a model preteen coming-of-age theme. The three are intertwined naturally, and work well within the science-fiction twist of this very unbelievable fantasy tale.

For older audiences, I would choose the book, but for younger audiences I would choose the movie. The movie is simplified for all audiences. While the book is trying to show how literature can change people. The movie doesn’t show the process of how the Little Seamstress changed. In conclusion, the movie was made to entertain
