What would you choose? Would you stay or go? Well, that's what Mia is facing. Mia is a 17 year old cello player who had an audition to Juilliard, a rock star boyfriend, a future ahead of her. That was until she was in a car accident. Now she has lost her mom, dad, and brother. She doesn't know whether to stay or go at this point. The main character's in the book is Mia, Adam(Mia's boyfriend), Kim(Mia's best friend), Mia’s mom, dad, brother Teddy, and her gramps. Although there are major differences between the book and the movie, each equally enjoyable. For various reasons I like the book and the movie equally because it shows the relationships with the characters differently. In this paragraph I will be giving examples as to why the book is better …show more content…
I prefer the movie because it shows a strong connection just by a glance between Gramps and Mia’s spirit. “‘So I just wanted to tell you that I understand if you go. It's okay if you have to leave us. It's okay if you want to stop fighting.’” (pg 181) In the movie Gramps says this same line, but after he looks over and it's almost as if he can see Mia’s spirit. I prefer this part in the book over the movie because it has more detail. “And by the time he dropped me off from the Yo-Yo-Ma concert, I think we were both aware that we we falling in love.” (pg 54) In the book it shows Mia and Adam falling in love, as in the movie, it jumps right into it. I equally enjoy the book and the movie because in the end they didn't change the ending. Mia wakes up in both the movie and the book. She can hear Adam as well as her actual body. The relationships with the characters are different in the book and movie, but makes the movie and book both enjoyable. The relationships are different in the book and movie. It was a refreshing change seeing the differences between the book and movie. If you're going to read the book or watch the movie, do
She wanted to learn more about how to shoot a gun. She wanted to be like one of the guys. The novel installs all these ideas, but it also allows the reader to use their creativity. It also gives more emphasis on little traits of the character that make the character more unique. Therefore, due to the film's inability to give audiences more information about the characters, their role and their emotions, the novel is much more informative.
I think the movie is better than the book because it’s more visual, has more action, and has props.
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
- This book is a really good book not a very good movie because they have so many differences if they would have not started in the middle of the book then it would have been really good and entertaining but it just doesn't give me the vision in my head of the whole book . A movie to me is where a book comes to life and, but it still was a good movie but could have been
I didn’t pick the book over the movie because I think books are boring. When you are watching the movie you don’t have to use your brain that much. When I’m watching a movie about any type of genre that has a book that goes with it, I usually ask questions to myself (in my head) about
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
Finally, between the book and the movie I really liked the book better even tho I don't like to read i thought it was better.Because the book had more detail than the movie did in my opinion. The movie was more sad because you actually saw them and what they were doing. In the book you would have to imagine it and it wouldn't be as sad. Overall the movie and book were good but very
Although the book has more information to the story, I like the movie better. The movie has a better storyline because in the book Angus has two homosexual parents that eventually end up getting a divorce because both parents leave each other for another partner of the same sex. In the movie, the dad left the family a while back and Angus is left with a single mother and his grandfather, who lives with them. The grandfather in the movie basically is the father figure for
One difference is the appeal and image of the characters. For example, in the book Andy has blond hair and lives with her boyfriend named Alex Fineman. Later in the story, Alex breaks up with Andy. In contrast, Andy has brown hair in the movie. Also the boyfriend’s name is Nate Cooper, instead of Alex Fineman. Another difference in characters is
Both book and movie are really good in their own ways. The book has a lot more space to work with, and this makes the story very engaging. In movie we can visual see characters and their emotions outline greatly which help understand the story very well. In both concepts, they organized really well to stripped down the main story.
I liked the movie but the book wasn't so good. I think the movie was better because it really helped understand the story. Another reason is that it was more realistic because you could really see the characters and hear them. My last reason is that the movie simulates what happened in real life. In the book there was 4 major females but in the movie there is 3 vital characters. In the book they didn't talk much about ww2 (world war 2) but in the movie they talked much more about it.
In conclusion, the novel and movie are about greed in the world, how people take things for granted, and how a destitute people reclaim their home. The movie is better because there is more action and unimaginative people can still experience the same excitement of the tale just like the imaginative people who read the book do. The author uses these themes throughout the story line. However, the exciting action scenes and the dramatic music in the background allows viewers to feel the emotions of the movie and its
The building up to the last scene is similar to the book but the final moments make the difference. As Adam is giving his speech for Mia to stay, she rapidly starts to flash back through her life and she sees the bright light. Right as the screen goes completely white, she opens her eyes for she has decided to stay, then the movie is over. It shows the fate she decided but nothing past her awakening.
With the constant streaming of new movies and television shows available, moviegoers tend to watch them for fun. They see an entertaining movie about conflict that sparks the sense of adventure in them. But do they really grasp what the movie can teach the viewers? With today’s society, the themes are lost in the entertainment purposes. However, books have developed to do what a movie does and so much more. In this way books give life to all people that read them.
Continuing on with better qualities of books, readers will get a better feeling of accomplishment when they finish
