If I Stay Book Vs Movie Essay

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.

The April Morning novel and the movie reveals the same basic story line. In movie, some scenes and characters were cut off from the novel, but overall it gives the same idea as novel. Both the book and movie depicts the story of Adam Cooper who is 15 year old boy at the beginning of the novel but at the end he turns out a man who takes the responsibilities of his family after his father death. Adam lives with his father Moses, mother Sarah, Brother Levi, and grandmother. The book shows the character Levi but not in movie.

First of all, the book has a better plot as it goes into a good amount of detail as the movie doesn't really have much detail “As I sat there in the silence, the fire grew larger, it cracked and popped. Firelight shadows began to shimmer and dance around the room.”

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

Many people may agree that the movie was better, but personally, i think the book was better. The book let your imagination go wild, but the movie just held your imagination back by showing you the scene on a screen. Unlike the movie, the book gave a more vivid description of “The Tell Tale Heart” by telling you every single detail. That is why I think the book was more enjoyable to read instead, of watching the 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

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

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

The perception that the novel is usually better than the movie version in this case is true; I preferred reading the novel over watching the movie. The novel

Director R.J. Cutler excellently does his job of making the 2014 drama, If I Stay, come to life visually in 2015. The film was based off of the novel that was written by Gayle Forman. In both the movie and book, they uphold the same storyline. The main character ,Mia, is a passionate cello player who wants to attend her dream school, Juilliard. She runs across a boy named Adam who admires her passion and they end up having a great connection through the story. All is going well until Mia and her family get in a major car accident that leaves characters in heartbreak. Throughout the film, the director chooses specific scenes to accurately show elements of freudianism by different camera techniques and other expressive elements. Several techniques

There are times when the film adaptation of a novel misses the ability to bring the full story to life. This is not the case, however, when it comes to the movie, Stand by Me. Although, there are some obvious differences, this novel and movie adaptation complements each other very well. Based upon the novel, The Body, Stand by Me encapsulates the messages of friendship, loyalty, and maturation that the novel vividly depicts through its writing.

The Plot does not really have any differences in the movie from the book. The only real

I did watch the movie to If I Stay, and a lot of the simple details, and symbols are changed. For example, on Halloween in the movie, Mia wore a black rocker chick wig, but in the book she wore a blonde wig, which was also a symbol. I highly recommend reading the book first and the book was better anyway. As you can see, my predictions were also pretty close, and this book was a great read. Mia is a great main character, shown by her three symbols, coffee, her cello, and the blonde wig she wore on Halloween. Theme of choices and love is also very strong. I love how Gayle Forman told this story, and I’m very happy I chose this as my summer reading.

Normally, when a movie is made about a story in a book the two stories are not exactly the same. The movie is adjusted by adding small details or leaving out some parts in order to make the story more
