Jumanji is a short story, by Chris Van Allsburg, but also there is a movie Jumanji directed by Joe Johnson.

You may ask what the difference and similarities are in the Jumanji book by Chris Van Allsburg and the movie Jumanji. I am writing an essay to compare and contrasts both of them and explain the tone. The tone for them can be described as frightening, but they each have many other tones, too.

In the movie american sniper there are many false subjects such as added scenes that are put in the movie. One example of a false sense in the movie is when a mother sends her kid with a grenade towards the truck but it was actually a woman in the true story. The reason they did this is to try and make it more shocking and to make the mother look like evil. There are many differences between the movie and the book therefore they can not call it a true story if there are many different sides to the story.

When a book is taken in by a movie company to be turned into a movie, some things are going to change or get cut out so that it meets certain requirements. The novel To Kill a Mockingbird written by Harper Lee is certainly not an exception. When Universal Productions chose to make the popular novel into a movie, the director and screenwriters had to make some important choices as to what they kept in and what they didn’t. There are many differences when you compare the two versions of To Kill a Mockingbird, but some that stood out are; the narrator of the movie is an Adult Scout looking back, the school appeared to be nicer in the movie, Aunt Alexandra isn’t mentioned in the movie at all, Scout isn’t shown when she is in class and there is more than one focus character. No movie is exactly like the book whether it be because of budget or time limit, and sometimes it can change the entire tone of the film.

Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was one brave mongoose who had the courage to go up against the fiercest animals on the planet, Cobras.

You must be brave to fight a cobra if you are not you could be snatched up any moment. Nevertheless Rikki-Tikki-Tavi the book and the movie are the same story they have differences such as the Plot, characterization, and the conflict.

The physical and social settings portrayed in Amy Tan’s “The Rules of the Game” enables the story to emerge as more than the birth of a child prodigy. Thus they make the story more profound.

The Notebook, written by Nicolas Sparks, can be named one of the best American romantic novels. The book portrays every trait in a guy or girl would desire to have in a significant other. According to Nicolas Sparks, “it is a celebration of how passion can be ageless and timeless, tales that moves us to laughter and tears and makes us believe in true love all over again”.

Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird (TKAM), published in 1960 is a coming of age story that presents themes of racism, loss of innocence, community, perspective, and good and evil. The story is narrated by Scout, the main character and is depicted in each scene from her maturing perspective throughout the story. The movie version was released in 1962 and featured the same plot but had many differences. Differences in scenes in the movie changed the focus and affected the story itself. The movie adaptation of TKAM shares many similarities with the book, yet the focus shifts away from the Maycomb community directly to the main characters and how they were affected by Tom Robinson’s trial.

Many people assume that conversion of a novel into a film is an easy task, as they would argue that it is a matter of the lines in the books into dialogue in the movies (Baines 615). However, those who do the work to make it happen understand the challenge well. Some of the fans of movies at times have problems with an adaptation of the film depending on how they have read the book, and some of the elements that people are keen on including the plot, characters, and the theme. Therefore, for a film to have a successful build up, then the directors have to stick to every detail as indicated in the book. Baines was that the work of translating books to the film should not only be about reproducing the content of the book, but it should be about changing the medium through which to present to the audience. Therefore, in this essay, the focus will be on a comparison between the two different versions (book and film) of To Kill a Mockingbird. The comparison will be based on comparing the plot, characters and the theme of the story presented in different media.

Their are many similarities and differences between the novel and the movie of To Kill a Mockingbird.

A small mongoose all alone has to face to king cobras. A giant wave flushes Rikki out from his warm, cozy den and leaves him on the bank by Teddy’s family’s garden where he faces two king cobras Nag and Nagaina. If he does not kill them his new friends will die! This conflict is portrayed in the story Rikki-tikki-tavi by Rudyard Kipling which became a motion picture movie. The story and the movie are similar in plot but there are some notable differences, including where Rikki finds Teddy in the bath and that Nagaina waits for one of the family members or Rikki to move to strike Teddy’s leg. These differences only take shape in the movie. The characters, setting, and conflicts are similar in both versions with very small differences.

Mr. Knightley’s parallel is Cher’s so called “ex stepbrother” Josh. Josh and Mr. Knightley are similar in countless ways and the book to film adaptation of these characters is accurate to a tee. Josh and Mr. Knightley are characters that portray good judgement, high moral character, and maturity. Mr. Knightley has strong traditional values. On the other hand, Josh’s values are similar but much more contemporary.

This tone is also very frightening. In the book, there were two kids named Judy and Peter. Well, they were also in the movie too. Well in the book, they were in their house. And their Aunt was leaving to go to work. She had told them to keep the house clean because she was going to have company over later. So she had left, and the kids were bored. So they went outside to play. Well they went to the park and were passing by a huge fountain. They found a box that said Jumanji on the front. They thought that it was cool so they took it home. When they got home, they opened the box and saw that it was a board game. Peter found some dice, and rolled them. The board game had words that said something about a lion. Judy looks behind Peter with the most terrified look on her

Today, there are a lot of movies shot in the spy genre. The special effects amaze with its inimitability and with each film are becoming brighter and more exciting. In this paper I want to analyze one of the most impressive and most of the first films about spies "Casino Royale" filmed by Martin Campbell and compare it with the eponymous book written by Ian Fleming, which soon served as the plot for the film. In such way it will be seen how the spy genre have been changed for decades. “Casino Royale” is one of the first Fleming’s novels and it was released with the absence of big success in 1953.
