Essay On The Differences Between Of Mice And Men

The movie, “Of Mice and Men” portrays the harsh life of migrant farm workers in the 1930s. Directed and produced by Gary Sinise, it is a heartwarming movie starring John Malkovich (Lennie), Gary Sinise (George) and more. The movie, based off the popular and once infamous novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, talks about the working class in the 1930s when the stock market crashed. Overall, the movie depicts aspects of the lower class realistically, and how the two men, George and Lennie, go on their lives. The setting gives the audience a direct point of view of life in the early 1900s. By watching the movie, the viewers know that the plot is often very troublesome, since the two main characters attract trouble.

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

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

The novel has more detail than the movie because in the novel it showed more of the characters backstories it doesnt talk about Ponyboy’s school or about Dally’s past life was like before he moved and how Johnny got beat up by the Soc while the movie skipped all of that. Another is that in the novel you can hear the character’s thoughts you could hear what Ponyboy was thinking throughout the whole story and because the novel was in first person and the movie was in third person so you couldn't really hear what the character was thinking in the movie.

When we saw the movie and the book and saw the movie, there were a couple of thing that they did not mention or did in the movie. In the movie they cut out some thing from the book. They did not really put everything they said in the book into the movie. They also did not really get some people personal feature. Here are something that were different from the movie, than what it said from the book.

First the one way the book and the movie are similar is billy wants to get the dogs. He will do anything to get them. Billy has saved money for two years so he can get the dogs. When his grandpa order the dogs for billy he couldn't wait to get them. So he traveled to tahlequah in the middle of the night so he can go get them. Also another way they are similar is that billys family is very important to him. Billy also had extra money after he bought the dogs so he got some presents for his

The movie Of Mice and Men, directed by Gary Sinise, has various differences from the book, written by John Steinbeck. One noticeable difference is that, in the movie, there are many added scenes, where the original scenes are cut short. Another, consists of, in the movie, the dream between George, Lennie, and later Candy, is never resolved. And the final difference, is how they end the movie in comparison to the book.

Another major difference between the book and movie is the traits and actions taken by the characters. One example is Alice Kinnian. In the story, she is depicted as a quiet, non-aggressive person, but in the movie she is very much the opposite in character. For one, she never really made a move towards Charly, however, in the movie, she is the more aggressive between the two. Also, towards the end of the movie, Alice asked Charly to marry her and that never even happened in the novel at all. Charly is another character who is given different traits and actions in the movie then the book. In the book, he is a kind, warm-hearted man who couldn’t harm a fly. Believe it or not in the movie Charly tried to sexually assault Alice. In the book he never ever would have tried to do such a horrible thing to Alice. Also, he got very upset when he found out that he failed one of the tests given to him at the laboratory. He could have cared less if he failed in the book. Charly’s family is something else that was never mentioned in the movie, and it’s probably the most important difference of them all. It is the most important because of the fact that when Charly went to visit his family, it brought to him a great deal of happiness

Some differences between the movie and the book are Lem took Tex to the hospitable in the movie. In the book the ambulance came and took Tex to the hospitable. He had to go to the hospital because he got shot. Another difference from the book and the movie is that in the book the horses name was Negrito. In the movie the horse’s name was Rowdy. One more difference is that when Tex drove off of the rode with Mason and the hitchhiker their truck flipped over in the book. In the movie the truck jumped over a little bluff and then they got out of the truck right away.

One of the huge differences is they didnt chase rabbits in the book only in the movie . In the book S.E . Hinton doesent talk about them chasing rabbits .Also in the book Ponyboy gets jumped , but not in the movie .In the movie Darry pushed Ponyboy , but in the novel

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.

I am going to tell you 3 differences between the book and the movie In the book they all went to the spring and mae, jesse and miles told winnie there story about the spring. That

There are so many things that you need to understand the invisible man and the people that surround him in the book. There are so many small details in the book that are explained thoroughly throughout until almost the end. While in the movie everything is explained briefly and is easy to understand. It talks about Invisible Man going to the Coach and Horses for a place to stay in both of the stories. It also explains every detail more heavily in the book while in the movie it is almost mirrored just a faster pace and shows him heading to the Coach and Horses.

Below there is three differences and three similarities that will be read below. One difference from the book that the movie made was how the long journeys were shortened. When Davie went from his hometown of Essenden to The House of Shaws, in the book it took him two days, although in the movie, it took him a few hours. That is better than the book because we can get on with the story. It keeps us interested, and makes it more exciting to see what happens next. Another difference is in the book there is an unneeded, boring character in the book, that is not in the movie. His name is Mr. Shaun, and he is part of the crew that kidnapped Davie. He is cruel, and awful. Also, he murdered a boy called Ransom, making him an even more horrific character. In the movie he is non existent. He is not needed in the story, there is already enough awful people. One more difference is the ending to the movie. This is the biggest difference in the entire movie that adds an exciting twist. In the book, it ends boringly, when Alan leaves Davie after Davie gets his inheritance. In the movie, Davie gets his inheritance, although Alan is to

Another example of the differences in the movie than the book is that in the movie, everything is much less gory than in the book. Four animals all stuck on a lifeboat together for 227 days without any food, is bound to get messy. After a while in ocean, the hyena attacks the zebra, and in the book that scene is graphically displayed how the hyena eats the zebra alive and then kills Orange Juice too. Pi is also forced to hunt despite being raised vegetarian and is even desperate enough to try and eat Richard Parker’s feces as well. The book isn’t for those with weak stomachs, but the film spares viewers all the blood and guts.
