Compare And Contrast Ransom Of Red Chief

One of the differences that were most important was Johnny’s hand. Johnny’s crippled hand changed his life and made him look for another job. Johnny’s hand still gets crippled and then fixed in both the book and the movie, but in different ways. The book tells that Johnny’s crippled hand was caused by Dove, one of the apprentices with Johnny in the book . The book says that Dove gives Johnny a cracked crucible for Johnny to look at. Johnny reaches for the cracked crucible before it falls as it pours the liquid metal on his hand and makes it crippled. The movie shows Mrs. Lapham bumping into Johnny before he falls and his hand falls into the liquid metal. The movie didn’t include Dove, who gave Johnny the cracked crucible which made Johnny’s hand

In this story and short film, there are a lot of similarities and differences between the two. In The Ransom of Red Chief movie, Bill and Sam kidnapped Red Chief and put him in a box, yet in the story, they tied him up. Another difference is that Red Chief’s name, in the movie, is Andrew. In the story Red Chief’s actual name is Johnny. In the movie, Red Chief runs away but, in the story, Red Chief didn’t leave the cave. Red Chief decided to take Sam and Bill’s car out for a joy ride in the movie. There are a lot of other differences but, there are some similarities too!

The plot had some major differences as well as its similarities, for example, when Lydia was frightened by the lions and when Peter and Wendy "killed" their parents. The film did follow the same storyline and had the same plot but also had some slight differences here and there, for example ... In the story, George and Lydia found a wallet and a scarf in the nursery, but they found a purse in the movie. The children didn't land in the "space ship" and they didn't even mention the plastic carnival. There were no whining or jumping on couch's as referenced in the story when the kids heard the news about locking up the nursery, they just got mad and ran towards the nursery. When the Parents were supposedly chased by lions, Lydia wasn't crying, the story made it seem more dramatic than it appeared in the video. As well as Peter called George “George” in the movie instead of Father or Dad, this was not mentioned in the story, but it did show how he didn’t really think of George as his Dad. There were also a little foreshadowing at the end when George told Lydia to RIP “Rest in peace” then shortly after they

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

     First off, the biggest difference is the time periods of each movie. The older movie was set in Early Renaissance times. The newer movie is set in the early ninety’s. Another difference is the use of special effects. In the

There was also important scenes that weren't in the movie but in the novel somewhere near the ending Sodapop runs out of the house and his brothers ran after him that was one important scene that the movie didn't show, it just skip that and went straight to the end. Then the part where Johnny’s mom came to see him at the hospital it didn’t show that in the movie only shown when the nurse told Johnny that his mom wanted to see him but didn't actually show his mom. The movie did add some scenes that weren't shown in the movie it showed Dally going into the store after Johnny’s death and robbing it and running

When the socs and the greasers are going to have the big rumble in the book Darry asks if anyone wants to fight him but in the movie the person that he fight in both the book and movie says he will fight him. After the big rumble Dally and Ponyboy go to see Johnny who is almost dead and after he dies Ponyboy freaks out in the book and thinks he's not dead but in the movie it is only Dally. In the book Dally goes and robs a grocery store but in the movie he robs the gas station. When Dally leaves in the movie the guy shoots Dally and injures him but in the book he never had a gun. When Dally is shot by the police he is shot at the park in the movie but in the book he is shot in the street under the lamppost. There is so much more differences in the movie but it would be impossible to say them all so that is all of the differences i found from the book and

Both Kevin and Red Chief were boisterous characters in their stories. While Kevin and Red Chief may have some similarities they also have a large amount of differences. one of these differences is the fact that Kevin is a caring character while Red Chief is a violent character. An example from the movie Home Alone showing that Kevin is caring is the scene where he is talking to his neighbor telling him to call his son and make up with him (Home Alone). this shows that Kevin can be a kind person as well as a obstreperous person. He can be a nice person when he needs to be, unlike Red Chief. In the story Red Chief it says, “ I remembered that Red Chief had said I was to be burned at the stake at dawn”(O’Henry 65). This evidence shows that Red Chief was willing to torture or kill Sam. He didn't care that he was hurting other people, physically and mentally, with his actions. There are also some similar character traits shared between the criminals in both stories. The antagonist in both stories could be described as greedy. In the story Ransom of Red Chief it states,” Bill and me figured that we could shake down Ebenezer for a ransom of two thousand dollars to the last cent”(O’Henry 62). This highlights the fact that bill and Sam wanted to get money from kidnapping Red Chief. They wanted an absurd amount of money from Ebenezer which caused them misfortune in the long run. In the movie Home Alone when the robbers try to steal things from the McCallister

To begin, the first difference I observed between the book and movie is that the movie has a different opening scene than the book. The movie starts out with Ponyboy writing in a composition notebook on a page titled “The Outsiders.” In the book the beginning scene is Pony boy walking

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

One of the differences is the father. In the short story the father is not involved in Connie’s life as much as he should be. “Their father was away at work most of the time and when he came home he wanted supper and he read the newspaper at supper and after supper he went to bed. He did not t bother talking much to them” (Oates 1). They changed in role in the movie. He is more involved in her life in the movie. He talks to Connie about her and her mother's relationship, he is concerned about Connie being on the side of the road, and he tried to steer Connie in the right direction.

One way the story is different from the movie is that the story is very descriptive of characters and

Ransom of Red Chief and the movie Home Alone have similar events. One event id when both boys burn the criminals. In the short story states “ He put a red hot boiled potato down my back and smashed it”. This shows that in the story Red Chief burns the criminal. In the movie Home Alone Kevin heats up the door handle and when the criminal tries to get in it burns his hand. This shows how Kevin burned one of the criminals. Another event that was similar is when the boys use weapons to hurt the criminals. In the short story “Ransom of Red Chief” the text states “A rock the size of an egg had hit Bill just behind his left ear”. This shows that Red Chief used a weapon in this case a rock to hurt one of the criminals. In the Movie Home

The novel and the movie share many similarities.The book and the novel share the same problems. A example johnny and pony run away since johnny killed bob.In both johnny gets injured badly and dies.

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.
