In the book, Unbroken, and the movie has many similarities and differences. There are three evident differences that has been shown between the two. The first variation is the dead bodies the Japanese fighters shot. In the text, it says Louie saw the two dead bodies of Phil and Mac, after the plane attacked them. In the videoclip, it doesn’t show the point of view of Louie seeing them lifeless. Another change is the Japanese mercenary. In the passage it states that Louie saw the mercenary first appear, but then it disappeared. In the motion picture, it starts with the antagonist attacking right away. The last distinction is the actions each character made. In the paragraph, it shows Louie as a strong person, and Louie had to help Mac and Phil

The book “Where the Wild Things Are” was written about Maurice Sendak’s life. He based the book of living in Brooklyn with his hard-working father and emotionally unbalanced mother. Spike Jonze loved the book and wanted to create a movie that applies to more than just children. When watching and reading the book, and movie, “Where the Wild Things Are”, there are many differences and similarities that stood out.

The Westing Game is about a group of heirs trying to find the murderer of Sam Westing. The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin contains many clues and mysteries that are worth millions of dollars. Gull Lake Middle School has read the book and watched the movie about TWG. The goal of The Westing Game is to win.

Good leaders ensure the world continues to advance. In contrast, bad leaders allow cruelty to spread and are often over controlling, taking away the freedom of their people. Richard Adams’s Watership Down is a story about rabbits trying to establish a warren, a society. Hazel, the main character of the book, has been informed that his warren is in danger. He leads a group of rabbits to try and start a new warren in a better environment, away from peril. While trying to find this location, Hazel and his rabbits stumble upon another warren, Efrafa. The secretive warren is led by a fierce rabbit, General Woundwort. Though Hazel and General Woundwort are both leaders, they lead in two distinct ways. Hazel and General Woundwort are drastically different leaders because they take power in contrasting ways, have incongruent methods of leadership, and view their role as leader differently.

In paragraphs three through seven, Brady provides the reader with what she desires in a wife. Through repetition and tone, she shows the reader the unrealistic roles of a wife.

PICTURE THIS: You walk into a new school. You are excited to make friends, so you go up to different people and introduce yourself. The kids find you too different to be their friend.

What would you do if you were called “Freak?”

In Lyddie by Katherine Paterson and Lyddie the movie, both have similar same plot lines but with slightly different plots. Some People, such as Diana, have different ways to leave the main story; other characters like Triphena are outright gone, and a few characters never fully develop a complete personality.

Flatland the book and film are very different because the book focuses more on the Victorian society and the movie focuses more on the levels of dimensions.

Remember JonBenet Ramsey, the six year old child beauty pageant queen whose body was found in her family basement hours after she was reported missing on December 5, 1996? Someone strangled and hit her in the head then wrapped her body in a blanket. Their been many speculation who killed her even her own family, but to this day no one really knows what happened in the Ramsey house when she was murdered. After that incident I would think that parents would be more cautious about their children but since then children pageantry has skyrocketed. There’s currently, more than 5,000 child pageants are held annually in the United states alone and approximately 250,000 of

Dave also thrives on embodying the “underdog identity”. Being a twentysomething year old, one is still searching to discover who they are and what their identity is. Dave has had several identities pushed onto him because of his situation such as Toph’s parent, an orphan, and a steady provider all while still maintaining his role as an older brother, but one of the biggest identities is the underdog, the victim rising from the ashes. During his inner dialogue, Dave says: “you like that stance, that underdog stance, because it increases your leverage with other people” (Eggers 119). Him saying this directly acknowledges the fact that he is using his situation to gain moral authority over others, an authority which he believes he is entitled to because of his situation. Dave, no matter where he goes or what he does in life, will always be the victim of a sad event, his parent’s deaths will always be a part of him and his story, but he is using it to define his

Into the Wild happens to be my favorite book, and also one of my favorite movies. Most people like one or the other, but I think the two complement each other because of the varied stances taken on the main character himself. In case you’re not familiar, Into the Wild is based on the true story of Chris McCandless who, after graduating with honors from Emory University in 1990, gave his entire savings of twenty-four thousand dollars to charity and set off following his dream of living off the land in the Alaskan wilderness. McCandless made it to Alaska, but died shortly after taking residence in an abandoned bus; he probably passed from eating the wrong deadly plant or possibly from starvation. The book was

Gone with the Wind is one of my favorite love stories of all time. Margaret Mitchell wrote the beautiful story in 1928 and first published in 1936. The book is one of the best-selling novels to this date. Shortly after the book was published, it sold over one million copies within six months, as well as being awarded the Pulitzer Prize. The book immediately caught the eye of a young producer named David O. Selznick who immediately purchased the film rights for $50,000. The movie was just as big of a hit as the novel. Gone with the Wind won ten Academy Awards out of thirteen nominations. By today’s box office records, after adjusting for inflation, Gone with the Wind is still the most successful film in box office history. (IMdB) This
