There are 2 versions of the story “The Call of The Wild”. There is a book version and a movie version. Both are very different than one another. But they are also very similar. Here are a few ways they are alike and different. The movie and the book version of “Call of the Wild” are different. In the movie it starts out with people talking. In the book it explains where Buck lived before he was taken from his home in the beginning. Also in the movie it has John Thornton in the beginning. But the book version has him only toward the middle and end. The movie has John Thornton try to bid Buck off at the auction, but someone took him. The book does not even mention him. One more very important difference is when Buck is getting beat …show more content…
Buck senses John in the snow while pulling a sled on a hill, in the movie. In the book, Buck does not even know John exists until he saves him from getting beat to death. When John goes to see Asa Goslin, Asa says a guy killed his father for gold, in the movie. In the book, they say nothing about someone killing their family. The movie version shows a guy taking Buck from John, and John knows nothing about it. In the book Buck does not get kidnapped from John. Buck bites a man in the throat because he is picking a fight with John, in the book. But in the movie, Buck does jump at the man and bite his leg, but does not bite his neck. When Buck returns from being kidnapped, in the movie, he tries to bite John. In the book, he is always nice to John. Those are a few more differences. There are a few similarities. Here are a few. In both Buck is the protagonist. Also in both Spitz is the antagonist. They both have it where Buck has had many owners. Another thing is that John Thornton saves Buck. Those are a few similarities in the two. In conclusion both versions are alike and different. I have only listed a few things that are alike. Also I have only listed a few things that are unique between the 2. There are still many things I have not listed here. So as you can see they are alike in some ways and different in some
Instead, they added events to the movie that never happened in the book, and some of the events that occurred in the book, never occurred in the movie. For instance, in the novel, Owen dies a lieutenant, and in the movie, he dies as a boy. Also, in the movie, Simon speaks out loud during Mass and gets punished by the reverend. This never happened in the novel. I liked that the movie shows how powerful Owen and John’s friendship was; you could really tell they cared about each other.
As mentioned, The Call of the Wild is about events that actually happened. The Call of the Wild is about a gold rush. That gold rush was the Klondike Gold Rush, which took place in the late 1800s. The summary says, “He leads a comfortable life there, but it comes to an end when men discover gold in the Klondike region of Canada and a great demand arises
Normally, when a movie is made about a story in a book the two stories are not exactly the same. The movie is adjusted by adding small details or leaving out some parts in order to make the story more
The book and the movie of The Call of the Wild are both similar yet different. Like any movie based on a book, the movie of The Call of the Wild presents different characters and events than the book so it can be unique and enjoyable. In this essay, I’ll like to compare and contrast the book and the movie.
The Call of the Wild, on the surface, is a story about Buck, a four- year old dog that is part Shepherd and part St. Bernard. More importantly, it is a naturalistic tale about the survival of the fittest in nature. Throughout the novel, Buck proves that he is fit and can endure the law of the club, the law of the fang, and the laws of nature.
The first difference that caught my eye was how there was no cat, in the book there was a cat named, Sammie, and Sammie always got stuck in one of Billy’s traps. But in the movie
Once Buck becomes used to John and his way of living, he longs to be back in the wild where his ancestors roamed. He roams through the woods for hours on end, searching for where “the call” originates. On one of his
The book and movie are completely different. It 's like comparing apples and oranges. (I 'm assuming that you used the newest version with Guy Pierce). The biggest difference is probably the ommision of Haydee and Maximillien and Valentine (three of the main character) and the addition of Jacapo. Jacapo does is in the book, but he is never a large character.
Some things are different in the book and movie. Like Sunset Towers and Money in both versions. Sunset towers is luxurious in the book but a bad place to live downtown. The money the will was worth 200 million but in the movie it is worth 20 million. Another difference is that the Wexlers moved to Sunset Towers because they had no money, but in the book they moved because they had money. In the movie Jake Wexler is paying off his debt though they have money in the book. Jake Wexler is a
Both share the same plot, and there are very little differences between the two. These are a few of the differences that I was able to notice between the book and the movie. There are several others throughout the story, but they are all just as minute and in the end they have no effect on the outcome of the story. Overall, I was very impressed with the movie and it was very true to the book. I have seen my share of movies that were adaptations from books that did not do the book justice, but this one is almost exactly like the book, so it was very
