The book of the Westing Game is all about mystery and drama. As you read the book at first it is confusing to tell who is who but as you read on it becomes clearer and you start to get addicted to reading it. Once you finish the book usually you’d watch the movie. Once you watch the movie it is clear that you can tell what the differences are between the book and the movie. First and foremost you can see that there aren’t as many characters as there is in the book. The lack of characters made it confusing to tell who the partners were. Not only, did the pairs get switched up but and there was also a change in personality in some of the characters including Chris.
It’s not difficult to figure out that almost every book with a movie made from the book will have some differences and some similarities. I can almost promise anyone that they will probably never find a book with a movie that is the exact same. This essay will point out some differences and similarities between the book and the movie “Ordinary People”.
For differences in the beginning of the movie they show you how Alexander campbell died. This changed my overall look on kidnapped since now I knew how Davie’s father died and how it affected the feeling you get in the beginning of the book this is since you know what Davie has gone through and know what he is going through. One similarity that the novel and the movie have in common is that Davie walks up the stairs to get his uncle Ebenezer’s papers and then he trips and the only slight difference is that in the movie Davie falls and in the novel he almost falls. This is a very important aspect to the whole story because it gives you a feeling that Ebenezer is up to something sending his dear nephew upstairs so that he may get hurt. One other difference is that in the novel it took davie months to get to the house of shaws but in the movie it only took him like two minutes. This affects my opinion greatly because on Davie’s way to the House of shaws you really got to know more about him and that makes you understand the story more fully. My final similarity is that in both the novel and the movie Uncle Ebenezer sold Davie to Captain Hoseason so he would take him to Carolina as a slave. This is greatly important because now you know that Ebenezer doesn’t like Davie even though he is his uncle and you start to realize
The movie is much better than the book, the movie made the book feel like it was literally written by a hobo.“Help, help”, cried Davie. He ran home to acquire help for his father. A tree had fallen when he was trying to cut down a tree. The lightning was flying about. Davie was running through the rain and mud, thunder clapped in the movie Kidnapped. Davie was a character of great persistency and bravery. He took his father’s last dying words and put them to use. His father had said that the House of Shaws (super mansion) no longer belonged to Ebenezer, Davie’s uncle. This sparked a long dangerous journey across Scotland once Davie’s father had died. There were many, many differences and some similarities between the book and the movie. I am
For instance, in the book Joppy knew Albright; Albright knew Todd Carter; Todd Carter knew Richard McGee as well as Matthew Terrell whereas in the movie every character denied knowing each other except Albright and Joppy. Another noticeable difference is that in the book Frank Green, Daphne’s brother ends up murdered and in the movie he lives and they both end up moving. The third noticeable difference is a character name change from the book to the movie; Matthew Teran in the book is Matthew Terrell in the movie and he ends up being murdered in the book whereas at the end of the movie he’s running for mayor. A fourth noticeable difference is the pier scene. In the book Albright and Easy meet at the Santa Monica pier and in the movie it is the Malibu pier. And the last most noticeable difference between the book and the movie is that Mouse knows Daphne Monet or shall we call her by her real name Ruby Hanks; however, in the movie the audience never finds that out. In the movie the only true thing you get to know about Daphne is that she is both black and white. Therefore, due to the many differences between the book and the movie it is confusing to the audience since it is almost like dealing with two different stories because of the plot inconsistencies.
he film is better than the book if you consider all of the similarities and differences.
The first major difference between the movie and the book is how quickly the movie reveals some of the flaws of the main character Socrates Fortlow. In fact the movie starts with Socrates appearing
In the movie ❝Kidnapped❞ and in the book ❝Kidnapped❞ By Robert Louis Stevenson There is one line that stands out from the rest, ❝Ah Davie, I love you like a brother❞. In the book Alan Breck claim this to David Balfour. This means that Alan thinks that after all they have been through, David is like the brother he never had. The purpose of this writing is to declare that the book or the movie by Robert Louis Stevenson is better. The movie is better being you can see the emotion and what the protagonist went though.
Intro: The mongoose can be found in Africa, Asia, and Europe, and are commonly known for killing snakes. These seemingly friendly creatures are curious and unafraid. These creatures usually live for about 20 years. In Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, the book and the movie, a young mongoose defeats two deadly cobras in order to restore peace in the garden and to protect the humans that saved his life after a storm.
Into the Wild happens to be my favorite book, and also one of my favorite movies. Most people like one or the other, but I think the two complement each other because of the varied stances taken on the main character himself. In case you’re not familiar, Into the Wild is based on the true story of Chris McCandless who, after graduating with honors from Emory University in 1990, gave his entire savings of twenty-four thousand dollars to charity and set off following his dream of living off the land in the Alaskan wilderness. McCandless made it to Alaska, but died shortly after taking residence in an abandoned bus; he probably passed from eating the wrong deadly plant or possibly from starvation. The book was
One significant difference is when Leonard Mead picks up a dandelion in the film compared to a dead leaf in the book. This is an important difference because the dandelion represents hope and a future, where the dead leaf is quite the opposite and tells us that civilization is dead and their is no chance of bringing it back. This is one key difference and these actions decide how it ends. Another difference is whether Leonard has communication with other humans or not. In the story Leonard has not had any contact in 10 years, but in the book he has a friend he can visit and talk to. In the story they were setting it up for their to be no hope for a future. But in the film his friend will “spread the seed” and bring humanity back to being
It is always quite exciting when a novel is adapted to be shown as a movie. I’m usually in the habit of comparing and analyzing if the movie version was faithful to the book. Many times the movie director and screenwriters have to decide whether to include certain scenes or not. This aspect is controlled by the rating they want the movie to end up with, depending on their target audience. I found a number of differences between Roth’s novel and the movie.
The first point of difference is Maxim De Winter never considering suicide. In the novel, the action of suicide does not happen and is transformed to the narrator first time meet Maxim at the hotel restaurant. On the other hand, in the film Maxim is standing at the edge of a cliff want to jump off. Then the narrator prevents and stops him. The second point of difference is Rebecca’s death is much more graphic in the novel. In the novel Maxim killed her by shots with a pistol and her blood is everywhere. However, in the film he strikes her and she falls down into a sharp thing in the cottage. My final point of difference is Mrs. Danvers’ fate is left ambiguous. In the novel Mrs. Danvers takes her possessions and left Manderley since nobody had seen her when she leaves. Maxim expects that she played a role in burning Manderley. But in the film shows that Mrs. Danvers in Rebecca’s bedroom, looking out of the window as the house burns around her. These are my three differences between the novel and
In the movie there were many situations and actions that were not played out or scripted by the producers. There were also events included that did not happen in the book, just to make the movie seem more interesting or intriguing. The differences and similarities of the book and the movie are going to be described in this essay.
