“Books and movies are like apples and oranges. They both are fruit, but taste completely different,” Stephen King once said. Truley, books and movies are most of the time the same, but sometimes one rises above the other. In this situation, the movie rises over the book. While reading a Raisin in the Sun it seemed like they stayed in the same spot the whole time. In the movie they showed us and explained all of the places that they mentioned in the book and it gave me the larger picture. The movie a Raisin in the Sun is better than the book because it has more details and gives us a better visualization. Asagai’s character appears both in the movie and the book. However, in the movie Asagai’s personality differs from the book. For example, in the movie Asagai is not yelling at Beneatha or telling her that she has a home, food, and shoes to wear. She does not know that there are people in Nigeria starving for food, that wash the same dishes in the water the kids bathe in. In the book he is getting mad at her for being upset a lot more often. In particular, Asagai is being more flirtatious in the movie than he is in the book. When Asagai first met Beneatha at school …show more content…
For instance, in the beginning of the movie when Walter went to the bar with Willy and Bobo they were walking out and this white cop gave one of them a ticket. Also, in the middle of the movie when the Younger family goes and looks at their new house there are white people looking through their windows staring at them and wondering why are they here. In addition, when Mama went to the grocery store she asked the man for some apples then a white woman asked for some apples and the man gets the apples for the white woman first. Lastly, towards the end of the movie, Mr. Linder comes to there house and tells them that that the “Welcoming Committee” wants to kick them out and give them the money
First of all, the book has a better plot as it goes into a good amount of detail as the movie doesn't really have much detail “As I sat there in the silence, the fire grew larger, it cracked and popped. Firelight shadows began to shimmer and dance around the room.”
Many people may agree that the movie was better, but personally, i think the book was better. The book let your imagination go wild, but the movie just held your imagination back by showing you the scene on a screen. Unlike the movie, the book gave a more vivid description of “The Tell Tale Heart” by telling you every single detail. That is why I think the book was more enjoyable to read instead, of watching the movie.
- 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
The book is better because it gives more excitement and emotion. The book just explains each of the events in great detail. I don’t know about other people, but for me the more information there is, the more I understand it. And in the movie of “The Outsiders”, it does not really say much about what’s going on. For instance, when Johnny dies, in the movie, Ponyboy goes home but it does not tell how long he had been out. In the book, Pony is walking home from the hospital and a man asked him if he wanted a ride (Hinton 151). Though others might think that the movie is better because it visualizes the events that are happening. But, even though it envisions what the book tells about does not mean that it is one hundred percent better.
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
Neither the novel nor film version of To Kill A Mockingbird is superior to the other, just different. In the book you delve more into the separate characters while in the film you see the relationships in action. The book gives you a broader view of everything, but at the same time the movie points out everything that seems important. Lastly, the novel shows Scout as a girl caught in the middle, when the movie seems to paint Scout as a girl without a inkling of what is going on.
In the play, A Raisin in the Sun, by Lorraine Hansberry, and 1961 movie written by Lorraine Hansberry and presented by Columbia pictures, one of the most important themes is the American Dream. Many of the characters have hopes and dreams. They all strive towards their goals throughout. However, many of the characters have different dreams that clash with each other. Problems seem to arise when different people’s dreams conflict with one another. Another theme is racism. Racism was rampant during the 1950’s and this often hindered African American dreams.
There were few differences between the movie and the book Raisin in the Sun. I felt that the movie just gave you a visual to understand and relate to the characters more. The one major difference between the two was the sequence of events from the movie to the book.
The perception that the novel is usually better than the movie version in this case is true; I preferred reading the novel over watching the movie. The novel
As Austrian writer Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach wrote,“To be content with little is difficult; to be content with much, impossible.” History and literature have established that the ideal goal every American has wanted is for his thirst for material possessions to be reached, but even then, the individual isn’t truly happy. Money, and the things it can get you, have long been a part of American culture and the materialist culture of society have been examined in numerous ways from novels to the art of those like Andy Warhol. A life free from the economic woes that plague almost everyone seems like the quintessential existence, but material wealth is not a way to mend issues.
There are several themes present in A Raisin in the Sun. The subjects of hope, dreams, and values are all recurring motifs throughout the play’s entirety. Despite the repressive conditions faced by the Younger family due to the racist and sexist societal views of the sixties, they still maintain a degree of hope throughout their ordeal. They hold onto the hope that, in the face of their circumstances, things will get better and they will be able to achieve their dreams. The symbolism used in Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun helps emphasize the themes and tone of the play.
The play A Raisin in the Sun illustrates the social and economic pressure that is placed on the Younger family, especially Beneatha who aspires to become a doctor at the time where not many women could even imagine such aspirations. The Younger family's daughter Beneatha is an outspoken intelligent member who raises the argument for the other side of the spectrum at all times. Beneatha is aspiring to become a doctor and has some hope that some of the money from her father's social insurance cheque would help go to her medical school. The pressure of being lower middle class severely affects the relationships of the Younger family as Walter, Beneatha's older brother shows no regard for his sister as he sees her as the only one in the house not

The topic of the Roman Empire has been visited and revisited many times since its rise and fall over a thousand –year time period. While it was not the first or the longest-running empire to fade into history, people have been fascinated by its story for centuries. There have been movies made, such as “Pompeii” in 2014 (Kenny), and “Cleopatra” in 1963 (Rice), a play,”Julius Caesar” performed in 1600 and written by William Shakespeare (Alchin), and many more. In James W. Ermatinger’s book, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, he described the last 250 years of the Empire, in which he provided historical insight, possible reasons for the demise, and lessons to be learned for the future (Ermatinger).
During ancient times, different cultures had various rules for head covers for men and women. Head coverings were varied due to religious ceremonies, cultures, and social class. The Apostle Paul created a discipline that people in Corinth were to follow. Paul begins to address the head covering problem by first commending his readers for following the traditions he delivered. Paul then creates a hierarchy for Christ, men, and women, which he uses to make a contrast between men and women. He asserts that both are subordinate of Christ and there are certain physical characteristics that people should have when praying to Christ. He does not specifically address whether this rule applies to married or unmarried people. He says that women are to
