Comparing The Film 'And Pecos Bill'

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

Although most individuals argue that the “books are always better than the movies” or “the movies never follow the book,” In The Legend of Sleepy Hollow the Disney movie is actually quite similar to the book. Despite bearing some minor differences, the book and movie version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow are remarkably similar.

First, I will talk about how the book and the movie are similar. The most noticeable is when he gets his dogs. He goes to get them in Tallaqua like the book says. When the ghost coon seen comes around the dogs get in that fight. When billy’s grandpa made the bet with the boy. Last when the Pritchard boy falls on the ax.

Two similarities between the film and written story was when Pecos Bill rode the tornado from Texas to California and his horse Willowmaker. That was also from the tale “Slue Foot Sue”. In the movie it shows Pecos Bill riding the tornado at the end of the movie and he gave Daniel Willowmaker a ride as he rode away on the tornado. Two differences

Ricky tikki-tavi the movie is more cute, animated, garden was huge and Dose not show the death of the snakes. I thought that the picture was going to be realistic, less of a garden, show the death of the snakes, get Ricky meat to eat. The book was very similar to the movie. The book said word for word with the movie, but did not rhyme with the book when the bird sang Nags death song. In the book you can picture all the characters and their actions. Unlike the movie you can’t picture their actions are their and you can’t change them. The voices you expected in the book are nothing like the

The film Gringos at the Gate is a documentary about the interesting and dynamic relationship between the United States and Mexico. It uses the sport of soccer, futbol, to highlight the patriotism each country has for their respective country. The director also highlights the issue of identity for Mexican Americans. Many are conflicted with the idea of not knowing who they are supposed to (or in some cases allowed to) support. In this class we spoke about how through history Latin America has struggled with identity. As seen in Jake Silverstein’s article, “Grand Opening Ronald McDonald conquers New Spain”, and Gringos at the Gate, the interaction between two countries in Latin America can lead conflict in deciding one’s

There are many differences between the movie and the short story, The Ransom of Red Chief some of the differences are that in the movie Bill and Sam shoved Red Chief into a box and drove away. But, in the story Red Chief was offered candy to come with them. Another difference was that in the short story they all went to a cave to hide, but in the movie they all went to the middle of the woods. Also, in the movie Red Chief ran away from the place they were staying at in the woods. However, in the short story they stayed in the cave, and Red Chief didn’t leave the cave.

Although the book had a very mature storyline and theme, the movie, on the other hand made it seem like it was a children’s movie with all the unnecessary cute and funny scenes of the baby farm animals even though it was far from being a children’s story - it contained adult themes, alcohol abuse, executions, and violent battles. It was more than your average cartoon. Plus, most of the dialogue in the book was replaced by narration in the movie which reduced immensely the depth of personality of the animals. Not enough to ruin the movie, the endings between the novel and the film had quite a contrast. In the book, the story ended with a classic scene and a chilling line which grabbed the readers until the end.

It had some things in it that the movie did not. First, it started with ponyboy walking out of the movie. Also, it had a lot more emotion. It specifically described how everyone felt and the emotions seemed more vivid. The novel introduced all the characters, telling their physical appearance, background, and personality.

The book and movie have many similarities, but they also have major differences . One of the differences in movie and the book is when a man gives Ponyboy a ride home . In the book a man gives Ponyboy a ride home when he sees pony walking home. Pony had

The last character, Jabez Stone, wasn’t given a very active role in the short story, but he was described as " an unlucky man…he had a good wife and children, but the more he had the less there was to feed them." In the movie Jabez is seen more throughout the unfolding of the tale and his family life was a little different. He had only one child and that was after the contract with the devil was made. The ending to the short story took place in Jabez’s barn and consisted of a jury filled with the ruthless dead. This was also how the movie was played out. Even the closing speech that Daniel made wasn’t told word for word in the short story, but the way it was spoken in the movie seemed to sum up the way it was supposed to be in the short story. It had the same affect because it made " the glitter [be] gone from the eyes of the judge and jury, and, for the moment, they were men again, and knew they were men." The only difference in the movie that I didn’t like as much was that the Devil didn’t seem as intimidated by Daniel Webster as he did in the short story. He just laughed at Daniel and told him he’d get him in the presidency race. There are even more differences between the scripts then there are similarities. The first of these is the way the characters are depicted. I already pointed out that Jabez had a bigger role in the movie and that he only had one child. His wife, her mother, the neighboring farmers and the

The short story and the movie compare in many ways but also contrast several ways. What draws more interest, the short story or the movie? The short story and the movie show extraordinary differences throughout the characters, the climax and the resolution. Though both differ in many ways, both hold more similarities than to be thought. The characters have some additions which really changed the movie from being identical to the short story.

The story and the movie have similar events in many ways like when the kidnappers in both stories get hurt and scared of the little boy. In the movie there are 2 antagonist and 1 protagonist the same as Ransom of Red Chief. In the movie and the story the kids are scared at first until they find out that they can take advantage of the criminals and mess with them. Kevin messes with Marv by playing the old movie sene and scaring him into thinking that there were other robbers on “their street”. Then later in the movie he gets Harry with the hot doorknob. The same thing happened in Ransom of Red Chief when the kid scares Bill when Sam isn't at the cave and then the little kid tells sam he was going to briol him by dawn and Sam is scared that he can't go to bed. The evidence to support the similarities in The Ransom of Red Chief is on page 65 “You was to be burned at sunrise, and you thought he’d do it.” This shows how Sam got scared after Red Chief tries to scalp bill and that is similar to the way marv was scared of kevin then Harry. Another similarity is at the end the story changes and the criminals pay for it instead of them getting what they want. In Ransom of Red Chief Bill and Sam pay the dad the $250 to give the kid back instead of them getting the ransom of $1500. Evidence to support my answer is found on page 75 “Right at that moment, I should have been taking the fifteen hundred dollars from the box under the

There are similarities between the book and the film. The first point, is that the main characters are the same, the boy and his father, and the love and care from each other is demonstrated through both. For example, in the film it is showed that the father looks for the well-being of his son, for that reason, he decided to go south to the coast, also, another tiny detail of this it is when the father found a can coke, this is proven in the conversation between them "What is it, Papas. It's a treat. For you.

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
