Angus Bethune Book Vs Movie Essay

Many people may agree that the movie was better, but personally, i think the book was better. The book let your imagination go wild, but the movie just held your imagination back by showing you the scene on a screen. Unlike the movie, the book gave a more vivid description of “The Tell Tale Heart” by telling you every single detail. That is why I think the book was more enjoyable to read instead, of watching the movie.

The first major difference between the movie and the book is how quickly the movie reveals some of the flaws of the main character Socrates Fortlow. In fact the movie starts with Socrates appearing

The book and the movie of the Outsiders are two very different stories. The book has so much more detail then the movie. The movie is not the most detailed but it does get its point across. There are may similarities and also many differences between the two the book is by far more interesting and more detailed then the movie. I enjoyed the book a lot and the movies a lot but the movie was missing a lot.

Chris Crutcher uses characterization, and conflict to develop the central idea of “A Brief Moment In The Life Of Angus Bethune”. The central idea of Crutcher’s short story is for the protagonist to be able to accept himself, who he is, what he has, and to be able to move on from his self-hatred. The protagonist first struggles to find some kind of normality in his life. Consequently, at the end of the story, Angus is able to accept the kind of life he has and move on.

Differences (stick with at least four)- Ponyboy has a good relationship with sodapop and gets along better with darry but still has a very good relationship with his brother. In the beginning of the book, Pony gets jumped by some Socs, but he doesn’t get cut with a knife. In the movie, they cut him. In the movie when ponyboy is talking to cherry he says how the sun on the south side and she says”good how bout the north.” In the book it's written west and east. Also in the movie johnny never got his first beating from the soc in the book he does. In the book it gave more detail and information in the movie it starts like in mid way of the book.

There are many scenes and details that were in the book, but were left out of the movie, one thing that differentiates the movie from the book, is the change in character’s personalities and the relationships between the characters. In the book, Candace and Charlie seem like they don’t get along extremely well. Like any brother and sister, they fight quite a lot and they get in many arguments. But Candace seems like she is much meaner to him in the book than she is to him in the movie. In the movie Candace is much nicer to Charlie, and just nicer in general. Patrick is quite similar in the movie to how he was in the book, except for his personality. In the book, Patrick seems less carefree and funny. It seems like he is a jokester, but he can also be very serious at times. While in the movie he can’t be taken seriously and he always is trying to lighten the mood. Even when he and Brad were going through a rough spot in their relationship, he was still messing around and cracking jokes. Charlie was the character that is the most different in the book and in the movie. In the book, Charlie is portrayed as weak, nerdy and extremely awkward. But in the movie he is a tougher character and he seems a lot less quiet and shy. One way the movie shows that Charlie is not very weak is how he only cries once at the end. While in the book he cries all

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.

The biggest difference in my opinion is how the beginning of both the book and movie are different. The book starts with Conrad in the hospital after trying to kill himself, but the movie fails to mention this until later on in the movie. I think this is a bad thing because it doesn’t let the person watching the movie know why Conrad is the way he is until later on.

For instance, the book talks about how the greasers felt and how their feelings were, then in the movie, it didnt talk about it but it showed it. The way that they showed it was not as good as it was written. When reading we don't fall in love with the characters' appearance. We fall in love with their words, their thoughts, and their hearts. We fall in love with their soul. In movies we focus more on appearance and what's going on in the background, which then gets people distracted from what the character is feeling and their thoughts. On the other hand, you can see the actions of the characters in the movie, which might help you process the way they act, however with the book the author can use what he thinks and try to give people a general idea of everything. For an example in the book it talks about how Randy

The book tells the same story as the movie but in a different way it cuts out thing the movies has or the movies adds thing that's not in the book. The book has some not many similar but . I feel the director was unfaithful to the book.The book and movie version of Our America had many differences.

For the past few weeks, I have analyzed the storytelling style of the book and film Big Fish. The biggest difference I noticed was that I thought that the book focused more on the telling of Edwards inane stories, while the film was mostly centered around character development and relationships. I also think that while the book was very euphoric and felt like a children’s bedtime story, the film took a much more mystical and mysterious route, where a childish feel was dormant. Lastly, I thought that in the book the author just threw all the stories together and told them

In the 1999 novel Andre Dubus III the plot revolves around three characters Massoud Behrani, as an Iranian expatriate ex-military colonel following the Iranian Revolution. Behrani ends up working as garbage collector and a convenience store clerk since he had no any other professional experience except military. Kathy Nicolo, an emotionally unstable and former drug addict abandoned by her husband evicted from her home as a result of unpaid taxes. Then police Deputy Lester Burdon who is caught in between trying to help Kathy reclaim her house which was purchased by Massoud through auction. In the novel Dubus expounds in depth into the characters' nerves. One can see the characters

To Kill a Mockingbird and 12 Angry Men are two very good book and movie and they are similar. The movie 12 Angry Men is about a case were twelve jurors are deciding if a boy that stabbed his father is either guilty or not guilty. To Kill a Mockingbird is about Atticus an attorney and is a single father of a girl named Scout and a boy named Jem. Atticus is defending a black man accused of rape and nobody thinks he can. Jury number Eight and Atticus are very similar because they both think everybody have a chance and will never give up in what they believe in.

The Novelist Pavlo Coehn once said, “The book is a film that takes place in the mind of the reader. That is why we go to the movies and say, “Oh, the book is better.” Soon I the case with the movie adaptation of And Then There Were None. In the Agatha Christie’s novel And Then There Were None as well as René Clair’s 1940’s movie version of the narrative, ten people are stranded on an island. While on the island, a murder beings seeking justice for crimes that could not be tried in court by killing the guests one by one. In the movie, these three differences take the spirit away from the book: the failure of the judge’s plan, the addition of unnecessary details, and the major details from the book that missing.

The Kidnapped movie is better. I have examples, In the movie Davie saves Alan from getting killed, then Alan goes to France. But in the book that
