Comparing Cujo By Stephen King And Lewis Teague

What if you were trapped in a car with no escape and no one around except a big vicious man eating dog? Well,in the excerpt by Stephen King and movie Cujo filmed in the year 1983 that is just what happens to an unlucky mother and son. Though Cujo the book and movie have many similarities like when Tads window wasn't up all the way or when Tad had the same reaction when he saw Cujo.There were also many differences like the way Cujo approached the car or when Tad did not pass out before Cujo came to the window in the movie.But between the excerpt and the movie Cujo the excerpt Cujo was more

A major difference that the novel and the movie had was that Billy didn’t win the coon hunt in the movie. In the movie, a man named Sam Bellington won the coon hunt, but out of pity, gave the cup to Billy. This event was one of the vital events in the book. It was the culmination of all of Billy’s hard work and his dogs’ dedication. Another distinction was that Billy only saved for one year to earn money for his pups in the movie. This plot element was one of the many important times when Billy demonstrated his tenacity. It showed how devoted Billy was to earn his pups and how willing he was to work two years to earn enough. The fact that Billy only worked for one year to earn the money greatly diminishes his industrious mindset, Evidently, there are many differences between the novel and the movie adapted from

Teague kept to the original story of Cujo by including details and important aspects that are instrumental in creating suspense. In the novel, Donna’s son Tad, was not able to unlatch his seatbelt. This was also pictured in the 1983 film. Cujo is a vicious Saint Bernard dog that made everyone fear for their lives and jump out of their seats in the movie as well as the book.

There are many similarities and some minor differences between the movie, directed by Claude Chabrol, and the short story it is based off of, written by Guy de Maupassant. The plot, setting, and characters are all highly similar in both the story and the film. In both, the plot follows the same scheme, it is set in Paris in the 1880’s, and all of the main characters are the same. The major difference that stood out to me is how these aspects are displayed at the beginning of the narrative.

The plot and the setting of book and movie are very similar. There was a lot of thins borrowed from the book, but there was a lot changed as well. The movie followed the plot of book very closely and portrayed the setting of the book very well. A lot of the dialogue was borrowed and spoken directly as it was in the book.

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

differences exist between the original play and the film. Apart from the specific techniques of lighting and

In the story, “Cujo,” the author Stephen King writes a thriller story about a mother, Donna Trenton, and her four-year-old boy, Tad, fighting to survive while stranded in their car in the middle of a heat wave, with help nowhere to be found. The mother and son are surrounded by a St. Bernard named Cujo, that was bitten by a wild animal and has become rabid, out for blood. Stephen King uses third person point of view to reveal Donna’s thoughts and emotions to create suspense. The author uses third person point of view by using pronouns like he, she, it or they. Stephen King uses third person point of view by telling how Donna is feeling and what Donna’s thoughts are.

Based on the descriptions and events in this excerpt. I can infer that the title character, Cujo, has turned rabid and he is out to look for blood. I can also infer that his eyes are red and watery with thick substance leaking from it. Finally, I can infer that he has already killed his owner because he had mud and blood all over him. This was all stated in paragraphs 10 and 11, "The dog's eyes settled on hers. They were red and rheumy. They were leaking some viscous substance. The dog seemed to be weeping gummy tears. His tawny coat was caked and matted with mud and— Blood. is that..." All of this evidence told me that Cujo is rabid and has already killed his owner.

There are also many similarities between the book and the movie as well. One would be the theme of both the movie and the book which is that greed causes people to do horrible things. For example, when Juana tried to throw Kino’s pearl into the ocean, Kino tore the pearl back from her and beat her. Another thing the book and the movie have in common is that Coyotito dies in the end. This is critical because when Coyotito dies that is when Kino realizes the evil of the pearl and that he must get rid of it. It

In Summary, with these three examples it is shown that the play and the movie contrast quite a bit. Most of the story line and the dialogue were very similar to the original story in the movie but some things were changed, possibly to shorten the story to be able to make

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

Both the novel and the film share indistinguishable qualities. For example,They both have the same places as the novel.There were the DX,Tasty Freeze,the lot,the church,and the characters houses.Since they had the same places the same things happened.They have the same places so,they have the same scenes.However,they seem identical, they have a lot of differences.

The book differed greatly from the movie. Fernand Mondego changed in the book because, In the book Fernand meets Edmond in Merce. Edmond Dantes goes to find the treasure by himself and in the movie he goes with Jacopo. Danglar turns in Edmond to the chief of Prosecutor, but in the movie

Even though the movie kept a few similarities, much of the film was different. An example of this would have to be the relationship between Forrest and Jenny. As seen in the movie, Jenny and Forrest have a close relationship from grade school to high school. Then as the movie progresses you see the transformation of their friendship slowly becomes more at the times Forrest is close to Jenny. But when they are far apart it seems like it is only Forrest who is still caring
