Expectations Second Ending

Like I said before, there are major differences between these two. Some are very visible; the names of the characters. There are others that even though are minor, they are completely unnecessary. This minor differences are small details that we remember from the book, and we were expecting to

I much preferred the movie version to the novel. For me, author William Kennedy’s style of writing is needlessly vague and difficult to follow, yet he did a wonderful job adapting

Both of these endings work well in their respective mediums. There is no written law that says a producer or director has to strictly reinforce all the themes of the novel that are being adapted to the screen. If this were true that would make for an entirely dull piece of work, which brings me to the Michael Winner version.

Despite having many differences the film remains faithful in capturing the novel and putting on film. While one may not get everything from the movie as from the book, the majority of it is there. So for die hard fans of the book there is no need for disappointment. All the main parts of the book are there, the characters, the plot, the setting

Great Expectations tells the ultimate rags to riches story of the Orphan Pip. Dickens takes his readers through life changing events that ultimately mold the identity of the main character. Dividing these events into sections will provide the basis for interpreting which events had the most profound effect on Pip’s identity towards the end of the novel. These life-changing events provide the catalyst for the development of Pip’s character from childhood, his adolescence, maturing into a social gentleman, and finally becoming a self-aware man of society.

In the original ending of Great Expectations, there is no Chapter 59, and Dickens reunites Pip and Estella in four short paragraphs. Although this ending is generally referred to as the unhappy ending since Pip and Estella definitely part ways again, it does give the reader hope that Estella finally understands how she treated Pip. This is important because it ties Estella and Pip together by the fact that they are both able to feel remorse for the way they treated other people. In Estella's case, she mistreated Pip, but after suffering at the hands of Drummle, she is finally able to empathize with Pip. She understands what it is like to be under the control of another human being. Throughout the novel, it is Estella who has power over Pip and every other man she meets. However, during her marriage, Estella is subjected to "outrageous treatment" (440), physical abuse, from Drummle.

Finally there are lots of differences between the book and the movie. They also show that the movie was a lot weaker then then the book. I can see the movies aren't always better than the books. The books go more into detail than the movie. I enjoined the movie because it is more visual. The book was a little

In my opinion, the ending wasn’t satisfying. It wasn’t satisfying because I was expecting a little bit more. For example, when the whole entire band shaved their hair I was surprised. But, I was wondering as to why the girls didn’t do it as well, I was hoping that they’d shave their hair as well. Also, when Jeffery got sick and Steven couldn’t perform, but in the end he received an award for his drums. But, he didn’t even perform and he got the award, I thought that it was unfair for the other people that played the instruments. Also, when Steven went to Sam and she died I was heartbroken. So, I would’ve kept her alive, I would have let her meet her sister. I would let them have a reunion, then later on she would give some more advice to

If a person is going to read the book they might be shocked watching the movie because some scenes from the novel were cut out, or might be less affected on how the ward looks. It could be any five of those elements; it would still change the person’s perspective on it. They might prefer one over the other due to these changes, however the director made the changes from the novel in hopes it would still have a great affect. In conclusion, the novel into the film created several differences in characterization, setting, symbolism, plot, and

This ending more clearly illustrates the dangers of the Klondike. The first version is more a morality tale, ending with the moral of "Never travel alone!" (62). The second version is more of a good short story, with the ending that is, regrettably, all too common in that part of the world. The main character never gets a chance to change his ways and travel with a companion the proverbial "next time." He learns the lesson with the most severest of consequences: death. Another interesting difference is the fact that in the 1902 version the main character is Tom Vincent; however in the second version, the man has no name. This gives the main character in the 1908 version a feeling of universality.

The ending is probably the biggest difference between the novel and the film. The book contains an episode

These key differences could really impact ones thoughts on both the book and the movie and the way one feels about how the director and producers of the movie chose to portray the book. Noel’s death scene, Bangor’s death, the showing of the panther and Noel becoming a legend and story to tell just like his ancestors were three major differences between both the book and the movie. Overall, I am not at all satisfied with the ending of the movie. Noel deserves to live on in the mind of those who live in Kingdom County because he and his ancestors were a big part of its development, yet it never mentioned anything about his story living on in the end of the movie. The book was much better and had more detail. In my view, Noel is ultimately the hero throughout the story and Bangor is the victim because she loses the love of her life. He fights until the very end for his life and what he loves. I believe that the director and producers of the movie should’ve actually read the book because there is no way they read the book with the horrible version they made with the movie. Either that or they just wanted to get the movie over and done with. The movie ending should’ve been much more

Great Expectations is a novel by Charles Dickens that thoroughly captures the adventures of growing up. The book details the life of a boy through his many stages of life, until he is finally a grown man, wizened by his previous encounters. Dickens’ emotions in this book are very sincere, because he had a similar experience when his family went to debtor’s prison. Pip starts as a young boy, unaware of social class, who then becomes a snob, overcome by the power of money, and finally grows into a mature, hardworking man, knowing that there is much more to life than money.

I decided to choose the real one because I thought it showed how Santiago gained knowledge, and had a great experience. I thought the other ending was good too, but I felt that it would confuse people on how the crystal merchant and Fatima got there. If you were wondering, they came together on a trip, and Fatima stayed at the pyramids waiting for Santiago. The crystal merchant and Fatima planned the whole thing. I thought that the real ending was straight forward, and even though Santiago ending up going back to Spain, it shows how he wanted to follow his Personal Legend. I felt that my alternate ending was very good too, but I could only pick

I personally think that knowing the end of the story does not ruins the book. I think the story is more about how you get to the ending rather than just the ending. Like going on a vacation as a kid, say your going to florida. What would you be more exited about going on the plane to get to Florida or just going to Florida. Thats why i think it does not think it ruins a
