Ember Book Comparison

One major change is that Fiona was interested in working at the Nurturing Center instead of the House of Old. If in the movie Fiona had been a carer for the old instead of a Nurturer the whole ending would have had to be different. Then she wouldn’t have been able to help Jonas when he tried to take Gabriel

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.

A difference that I liked was that in the movie, Curley’s wife seemed to talk to Lennie as if she liked him because he was genuinely a nice guy, but in the book she seemed to be amused by how childlike Lennie was. It is an important difference because it shows how she managed to make Lennie comfortable with her, from originally not wanting to talk to her, but eventually ‘mussing’ up her hair. In the book, it seemed like she was just venting and not actually caring about him. However, in the movie it seemed like she confided in Lennie because she had a liking towards him. In the book, the way she thought he was stupid was emphasized and in the movie she told him that he was crazy but laughed it off when he said he just liked to touch soft things, agreeing with him. This difference made the part where it all led up to, where Lennie would kill Curley’s wife, clearer as to how

For example, the reader is introduced to Helen as a baby. Meanwhile, in the motion picture the watcher is introduce to Helen when she’s six years old. This a major difference because the reader views how Helen started unlike the watcher of the movie. Another example, in the story Helen is pictured as a filthy mess, but in the film she is always in a nice set of clothes. This is a very important change because it shows how a person depicts Helen. Lastly, Annie is haunted by nightmares of her brother at the State Court house. In the book their is great deal of flashbacks in the story, but in the movie their is only one. This shows how Annie had to fight the voices in her head and the guilt of her “ killing” her brother. Even with these differences, it still tells the amazing story of Helen

Some things are different in the book and movie. Like Sunset Towers and Money in both versions. Sunset towers is luxurious in the book but a bad place to live downtown. The money the will was worth 200 million but in the movie it is worth 20 million. Another difference is that the Wexlers moved to Sunset Towers because they had no money, but in the book they moved because they had money. In the movie Jake Wexler is paying off his debt though they have money in the book. Jake Wexler is a

It may be the same era and the same basic theme between both writings, but there are two significant differences -- social class and physical location. The

As well as the movie having some character differences, some of the scenes were either cut out or added. One of the major differences in the movie is that Candy never comes into the room when Lennie and Crooks are talking to each other. This is an important part in the novel because when Candy comes in, Crooks finds about their future plan wants to get in on the deal. Except this scene is cut short in the movie and Candy never shows up at Crooks’ house. Another important part that is changed in the movie is the ending. The movie never shows Lennie have the illusions of his Aunt Carla and the rabbits lecturing him while he is waiting by the pond. Also, is seems as though in the movie George doesn’t hesitate to shoot Lennie, and it is all over very quickly. Furthermore, the important scene when Slim tells George, “You hadda, George” (107), never happens in the movie, but instead it ends with an image coming from within George’s imagination, a memory of the many happy times that he and Lennie had shared. There are also some scenes that are added into the movie, but only because the novel is so short, they needed to add things to make the

Finally, the last way in which the book and movie are different is how Oz gifts the characters. Scarecrow wants a brain so he is the first to speak with Oz. In the book Oz gives scarecrow a brain made of bran, pins, and needles. Whereas in the movie he gives him a diploma and Scarecrow instantly knows all. The Tin man is next in receiving his gift from Oz. He gives him a heart made of silk stuffed with sawdust in the book. In the movie Oz gives him a testimonial that make the Tin Man very happy. The Cowardly Lion is after Tin Man and he wants courage. In the book Oz has him drink some green liquid, while in the movie he gifts him a medal of honor. Dorothy is the last to get what she wants. In the book she has to goo on another journey, but to see The Good Witch of the North in order to get home. She doesn’t know how she will get home now

Differences (stick with at least four)- Ponyboy has a good relationship with sodapop and gets along better with darry but still has a very good relationship with his brother. In the beginning of the book, Pony gets jumped by some Socs, but he doesn’t get cut with a knife. In the movie, they cut him. In the movie when ponyboy is talking to cherry he says how the sun on the south side and she says”good how bout the north.” In the book it's written west and east. Also in the movie johnny never got his first beating from the soc in the book he does. In the book it gave more detail and information in the movie it starts like in mid way of the book.

Do you like mysterious books? If you do, then The City of Ember is the book for you. The City of Ember is about a girl and a boy named Lina and Doon who were not friends at first, but then became best friends. Then they found a set of instructions to get out of Ember and figure the the words out because their city was dying. After, they find a huge room full of boats to ride down the river to get out of Ember. At the end they get out of Ember. First I thought that The City of Ember was about saving the city, now I know it’s way more than that. I now know that the novel is about using teamwork to accomplish goals. Lina and Doon exhibit teamwork throughout the novel because they worked together through the whole book to accomplish a goal by figuring out the words to the instructions and finding all the boats and saving the people of Ember.

The differences in Luhrmann's movie are very evident. The movie uses guns instead of swords. This differs from the book because it alters the fighting style and the way people are killed. For

In the movie it shows how Lloyd really needed LeAlan to keep him out of trouble and how LeAlan always told on Lloyd to David Isay how he has been gambling and not waking up on time to do their documentary. It also showed how LeAlan never let Llod tell his side of the story it's always LeAlan taking over. In the book it made it seemed like LeAlan and Lloyd were the best of friends and always agreed on everything and how the made it seem like Lloyd need LeAlan all the time so he can depend on him to always keep him on

The City of Ember is a fantasy novel written by Jeanne DuPrau where the main characters are Lina and Doon. The City of Ember is an old place where blackouts and shortages of supplies are common. Doon wants to save Ember, but because he is only a kid, no one is willing to help him. One day, during a long blackout, Lina’s little sister gets lost and Doon finds her. Lina and Doon start to help each other out especially when Lina finds the instructions to save Ember, but the instructions are chewed up by her sister. They manage to fill in the blanks, but one day, when they are wandering the pipeworks, they see the Mayor in a room filled with all the supplies that the city “ran out of”! They quickly run to the guards and tell them about the

The final major difference between the movie and the book is Lennie’s personal sanity. In the book, the reader is given multiple instances clearly showing that Lennie is not totally there so to speak. The best example possible is when Lennie hallucinates about Aunt Clara and the giant rabbit. This scene is removed in the film and instead Lennie seems to just be a very confused person with a low thinking capacity. The film seems to try and have Lennie appear

The main person in The City of Ember is Lina. Lina is a slender small girl with long dark hair. She’s really fidgety and likes to move and run around. She is a different, weird kind of character. Her dream job is to be a messenger because she likes to run around the town delivered messages. The first problem with the book is when they start drawing for jobs to help out the city. When she went up to draw she picked pipeworker laborer, which was one of the worst jobs in the bag, “Pipeworks laborers.” She hated it so much that didn’t want to help and do it. Her friend went last and he drew the messenger and he crumbled it up and threw it and got upset. The setting is dark and poor, lights are flickering and its a run down city that barely functions.
