Compare And Contrast A Christmas Carol

In Scrooge’s past and present, his actions had not been admirable. In reaction to this, Scrooge had closed himself off and become cold and impenetrable by any kindness. He had no empathy for others. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come changed this mindset by showing Scrooge the most severe consequences of his cold hearted actions. In

I felt that the movie of “A Christmas Carol” was very well performed and presented and that is why I believe the film version was better. Although the film version and the written version were very much alike they also were different. The film version was a lot differently set up and had a higher effect on the viewer than the written version. The film and the written version of “A Christmas Carol” were very much alike, but had some differences.

It relates to the novel because it talks about what you do with your time matters. What Marley did with his time was different than what everyone else does. Marley died because of how he used his time. Some people can die too of being so unhappy or too lonely. “My spirit never walked beyond the counting house.” (Dickens 11) Marley never went beyond the counting house and nor does Scrooge so they are using their time poorly. Staying in the same environment becomes very bland to the mind and can cause someone to become unhappy like say if you were cooped up in your house for a week. It would make anyone feel grumpy or lonely. Scrooge does not care about Christmas he only cares about work. He thinks he is using his time well but the Ghosts and

Scrooge figured out who the dead man was in the book at his grave. After he realized it was himself, he cried and pleaded that he would change. On page 77 of “A Christmas Carol,” It states, “...hear me! I am not the man I was. I will not be the man I must have been but for this intercourse. Why show me this, if I am past all hope?” In the movie, Scrooge also figures out he is the dead man at his grave and he is also saddened by the news, but after he discovers this, he is dragged down into a pit reaching the bottom of the Earth itself, which is way past the normal burying standards at six feet! This all shows how much a movie and a book can be so similar, yet so different!

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.

Although the book and movie have some similarities they also have differences. One difference would include the movie started with Marley being placed in a coffin. During this time Scrooge took the coins from Marley’s eyes. This small scene very much enhances the amount of desire Scrooge has for money. Although the book does illustrate Scrooge’s immense amount of selfishness, the movie can help people understand easier.

This whole movie is about changing scrooge’s christmas spirit and have fun on christmas. (relate to it on a personal level?) In the other movie, Miracle on 34th Street, the whole movie is about changing one of the main character

In the book a Christmas carol there is a boy named Fred who is Ebenezer scrooge’s nephew and there are many differences to him from another version of a christmas carol which is a movie made by the muppets so here i will state the differences

There are many similarities between the play of a Christmas carol and the black and white version of a Christmas carol. The black and white version has many so that is why i'm choosing this version. One main similarity is that the special effects were the same. When Scrooge was walking outside it was snowing at the same time and scene in the play as it did in the film version. In the film when Marley the ghost appeared there was music just like the play. The scenes in the play were just like they were in the film. Christmas Past brought Scrooge to view the party just like he did in the play. He also showed him the time when his fiance broke up with him because he was too greedy. Mood affected me the same way as it did in the film as the play.

There are many differences in the movie A Christmas Carol and the drama version. Some are hard to find but others were the absolute opposite. One very noticeable difference is that Jacob Marley never took off his head when he screamed. Which was bad because a majority of the class wanted to see that.

First and most likely the most basic one, the story is the same. A greedy old man named Scrooge is visited by three spirits, that change his life for the better. Also, Scrooge wants to surprise the second spirit in both the movie, and the book. Oddly enough, he also wants the first spirit to put its cap on in both versions. Now for my opinion if lighting and music, in a movie can make a mood different from a book.

In most of the adopted version of the play, this primary reason starts to drift gradually. Compared to the movie this reason is still intact. The consistent interpretation of the character of Scrooge is that he is the symbol of cruelty that is the rule of the lower class by the aristocracy. The reason I believe that the adapted play and movie have never succeeded much as the film is that the movie has made the character of the scrooge to be more sympathetic in smaller ways than in most of the play versions.

In the movie and story they are both alike because they have the same setting. Another thing that is alike the nephew was telling the scrooge a merry christmas and a happy new year. Another thing that is the same is that the scrooge got invited to eat dinner with a family. Another thing that is the same is that the scrooge saw himself

The novel and drama versions of A Christmas Carol wouldn't be the best choice for students, proving that the graphic novel would be the best option because of how it is worded and because there are pictures. The novel version of A Christmas Carol is written in old English that may confuse students. As it states in the novel, "Are these the shadows of the things that will be, or are they the shadows of the things that may be only?"(Dickens, lines 8-9) Students might not be able to understand the language and that is how most of the novel is written. Some people may ague that the teacher could discuss some parts of the story with the class, but maybe the student is reading the book at home, there is no one to help them. The graphic novel would

As a student that watched and read the Christmas Carol, I prefer the play more than the text. First of all, it helped me visualize the characters and scenes better. But also, some of the characters didn’t meet the descriptions that the text gave. Most of the time in the play there was more physical and visual emotion. There was a big result of singing in the play that didn’t fit in a small handful of scenes. The play was obviously shorter that the text which is good if you don’t reading.
