Differences Between The Miracle Worker Book And Movie

Comparing the book to the movie you can clearly tell what certain things are different. For example, Sydelle Pulaski worked for Mr. Westing in the movie but only talked over the intercom. This not only caused a lot of drama but more depth to the plot. Also, Crow didn’t go to jail but they did talk about most of the consequences of her going to jail. This made a little bit more serious and emotional instead of just letting it go.

Reading a book and watching a movie about the same book is two totally different things. A book like “Their Eyes Were Watching God”, can have scenes and characters that the movie don’t and vice versa. A character such as Janie can act and look different in the movie, while also have many things uncommon with the ways she was portrayed in the story. The scene where the flood comes in and sweeps Janie and Tea Cake out of their house in the movie, is shortened to a great length from the way Zora Neal Hurston wrote her novel. Everything that happens in the book and how the events happen in the movie plays a overall role on how they are told or seen. When a reader decides to watch the movie version of a book they have read, the reader can specifically find and point out many differences about the two.

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.

An example would be the bombing of Baba-Levy's house. In the book, the bombing occurred while Marjane was at the mall on her way to her house. The movie showed this scene close to the last section of the first half of the movie and didn't mention her at the mall. The text however, showed a clear description of her reaction to the news of the bombing and running to her house for fear of her neighbors and her family's safety. In total, the text summarized and transitioned the plot better than movie.

The Miracle Worker wrote in 1956 and was wrote by William Gibson and the play was adapted to a movie in 1962 and was directed by Arthur Penn and the movies most important characters are Patty Duke as Helen and Anne Bancroft as Annie. In this paper, I will be explaining the comparisons and differences between The Miracle Worker play and movie.

For instance, the book talks about how the greasers felt and how their feelings were, then in the movie, it didnt talk about it but it showed it. The way that they showed it was not as good as it was written. When reading we don't fall in love with the characters' appearance. We fall in love with their words, their thoughts, and their hearts. We fall in love with their soul. In movies we focus more on appearance and what's going on in the background, which then gets people distracted from what the character is feeling and their thoughts. On the other hand, you can see the actions of the characters in the movie, which might help you process the way they act, however with the book the author can use what he thinks and try to give people a general idea of everything. For an example in the book it talks about how Randy

There were a lot of differences that I noticed between the book and movie. One of the differences that I really liked is how we got a sense of Abigail’s insanity in the movie. She looks and sounds a lot more convincing in the movie than in the book. One thing that I noticed is that in the movie, when Abigail is trying to wake Betty up, many of the girls who has also danced with them were there as well, yet in the book it was only Abigail, Betty, Mercy and Mary Warren in the room. Then when Betty finally awakes and starts to yell for her mother, Abigail is very harsh in the way that she yells at Betty telling her that her mom is "dead and buried.

For example, in both the movie and the book, There is still fear in the fact that they will most likely die. Another reason that the book and the movie are similar is that the Jews still have to decide what to do about the camp situation. A third reason is that Hannah still tells stories to the other Jews to comfort them in the camp. Another reason that the book and the movie are similar

There were many differences between the book and the movie. The characters in the movie were very different from what I had imagined them to be. For example, in the book I imagined Mama Elena to be short, old, grumpy and miserable with her hair in a bun. Instead, in the movie, she is represented as a tall, slim elegant woman who is extremely violent. Also another difference would be Dr. John Brown.

Some people will agree that the book is better than the movie while others will disagree. In the film the director Joyce Chopra added only a few scenes with Connie, the main character. However, in the short story only summarizes her lifestyles in a few sentences. But these aren’t the only changes that have been made. The most significant differences between the short story and the film are the ending and the mother’s attitude towards Connie.

William Gibson's play, The Miracle Worker, illustrates how people who triumph over hardships can succeed in achieving their goals. The play follows Annie Sullivan, a half-blind northern young woman, as she travels to Post-Civil War Tuscumbia, Alabama in order to teach Helen Keller, a blind and deaf little girl. When she arrives in Alabama, Annie meets Helen's family members; her father, Captain Keller, is a stubborn, commanding former Civil War captain and her mother, Kate Keller, is a young, overly protective woman, both of them have kept Helen almost as a pet because they did not know what to do with her or how to treat her. In order for Annie to succeed in teaching Helen, she has to battle with Captain Keller's stubbornness, Kate's

One difference is the appeal and image of the characters. For example, in the book Andy has blond hair and lives with her boyfriend named Alex Fineman. Later in the story, Alex breaks up with Andy. In contrast, Andy has brown hair in the movie. Also the boyfriend’s name is Nate Cooper, instead of Alex Fineman. Another difference in characters is

Those are the main differences and similarities between the book Number the Stars and the movie Miracle at

Annie wants Helen for more time, but the Keller’s want her back back. Helen is much cleaner in the film. In the book Helen is described as a disheveled mess. Annie tells James to stand up for himself in the movie. However in the book Kate tells him. The book and movie are very different but also the same in many

Annie Sullivan is the main character in William Gibson’s “The Miracle Worker,” and Kate Keller is Helen Keller’s mother. These two may seem very different, and that’s because they are, for multiple reasons; however, they also have many things in common. This mix of shared and conflicting traits is crucial to their understanding of each other.
