Olive Compare And Contrast

The written version and movie of “A Christmas Carol” are also very different. One way that they are different is that the book provides more description and detail then the movie does.

When people want to watch a movie that is based on a book, they usually read the book first. Well, why on earth do they do that? Well, see sometimes even though they have the same plot, sometimes things can be changed. Whether it being for entertainment purposes, or to make the film shorter or longer, things usually will be changed when creating a movie inspired by a book. People probably have a few titles come to mind when they think about this, but a good example is “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens and the movie “A Christmas Carol” by Jim Carrey. Though both forms of literature are based off of the same plot, they do have their fair share of differences and similarities like any other adaption to a book. An example of this would be

When the socs and the greasers are going to have the big rumble in the book Darry asks if anyone wants to fight him but in the movie the person that he fight in both the book and movie says he will fight him. After the big rumble Dally and Ponyboy go to see Johnny who is almost dead and after he dies Ponyboy freaks out in the book and thinks he's not dead but in the movie it is only Dally. In the book Dally goes and robs a grocery store but in the movie he robs the gas station. When Dally leaves in the movie the guy shoots Dally and injures him but in the book he never had a gun. When Dally is shot by the police he is shot at the park in the movie but in the book he is shot in the street under the lamppost. There is so much more differences in the movie but it would be impossible to say them all so that is all of the differences i found from the book and

The 3 major differences that were seen are the shattering of the conch, the pilot’s presence, and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. Due to these major differences the novel left a greater impact on its readers than the movie on its viewers. Seeing the movie and as well reading the book, personally the book was a better. The book has a very different approach of that showed these 3 major differences to their full extent. Out of the two though, I would choose the book as more pleasant and

The book and the film were both simular, and yet different in many ways. An example would be, in the film, Ponyboy was walking to the drive-in and meeting Cherri and Marcia. Although in the book, Ponyboy began his journey by telling the readers about his experience about being jumped by the Socs and being threatened. The director probably had some options to pick from to leave out from the movie, and the director chosed this to leave out. Leaving out the part where Ponyboy was jumped was an effective move because without the experience Ponyboy was lost and helpless because he did not know what to do when he and Johnny got cornered in the park by Bob and other Socs.

The differences between book and movie, we think that the story of four children who go to live with an older man (a professor) in order to get away from the air raids that are occurring at home due to the war. The film begins with Lucy telling the others about Narnia and the wardrobe, and the events in Narnia with Mr. Tumnus are shown as a flashback. In the book, these events are shown before she tells everyone about them. The characters of Mrs. Macready, Father Christmas and the Giant Rumblebuffin are cut. (Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy appear to enter the wardrobe on their own, and Aslan gives them their gifts when they reach the Stone Table. However, Father Christmas is mentioned, and the jingle bells of his sled are heard.) Maugrim's name is changed to Fenris Ulf, like in the old American Version of the chronicles. While they are staying with the professor, they find a wardrobe in an empty room that leads them to another world called Narnia.

This show can be seen on TV every Christmas season. Then Ron Howard takes this short film and draws it out to be a two and a half-hour long movie. The worst aspect of the movie is that it makes a mockery of Seuss's main message: “Christmas doesn't come from a store.” This movie is all about selling, from those furry talking Grinch dolls to endless fast-food tie-ins.

Also, their differences from the rest of the world were not only unique, but were hard or impossible to obtain. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer’s talent was obviously that he, “had a very shiny nose” (Autry 6). This is difficult to obtain because he was born with it, it was not earned by him and it seems that this phenomenon has never happened before in the North Pole reindeer world.

Although in the 2006 movie it was Fern’s idea to keep the pig and take car of it while in the book it was Mr. Arables. I believe that in this version they are trying to make Fern more of the main character. The 2006 version strays away a little from the themes of birth and death and focus more on regular animals doing amazing things. I believe the filmmaker did this to relate the movie to a younger audience. In this movie Charlotte is viewed as a disgusting, creepy spider, but in the book she is respected by all the animals on the farm. The last similar thing is that both the book and the movie accurately portray the changing of the seasons. This is important because Wilbur isn't suppose to make it till Christmas time and this provides a sense of urgency for the

As well as the movie adding the songs, it also added the kids getting a special ticket. Each child had a certain a letter at the beginning of their train ride, punched by the conductor. When the kids were done experiencing the North Pole, the conductor punched out a word pertaining to each kid. The main kid got the word believe punched into his ticket because he did not believe in Santa at the beginning of the movie. The African American girl got leader punched into her ticket because she was the one that always knew what to do. The poor boy, Billy, also got believe because he didn’t think Santa was real either.

The film Elf (Berg et al., 2003) follows the adventures of Buddy, a human adopted into Elf culture, as he journeys from the North Pole to find his human father in New York City. As an orphan waiting to be adopted, Buddy was accidentally taken to the North Pole in Santa’s sack. Buddy grew up immersed in the Elf culture and way of life, and was not told of his human origins until he was well into adulthood. Upon learning this, Buddy travels to New York City to find his birth father Walter, a grinch-like publisher at a children’s book company. Unwelcomed by his father, Buddy befriends Walter’s son Michael and begins to make a life in New York, dating a shy, Elf-portraying department store employee named Jovie.

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

"A Christmas Carol" a famous christmas movie. Although it isn't hard to believe that people do not realize that there are differences between the movie and the book. In this case, that fits right into that subject. Here are some of the differences between the movie and the novel.

Here are some differences with the characters. Meg one of the main character's in the book has glasses and braces, but in the movie she doesn't have braces or glasses. Another main character is Charles-Walace and in the book he is five, doesn't go to school, and can't read, but in the movie he is six go's to school, and can read well. These are the differences

The book and the movie are also different in many ways. The book had more detail in some things but the movie has a better way of showing it. One of the ways that it is different is in the movie Scrooge sold corn to the three men at the bank but in the book that never happened at all! Another thing that was different between the movie
