Compare And Contrast Howl's Moving Castle And Spirited Away

Another small difference is that the movie starts with the girls meeting in forest, although in the book this is a flashback later in the book.

The first thing you see when you pick up the book is the brilliantly designed cover with the title, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Immediately attracting the audience, the book is opened and before the reader delves into a wonderful world of imagination and fantasy, they reach the dedication page. Many people choose to ignore dedication pages, but if the time is taken to read the message written by the author, C.S. Lewis, to his Goddaughter, the audiences’ eyes will be open to a deeper level of understanding. It reads, “My Dear Lucy, I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will

Often expressing love can be challenging. At times, different forms of love can be misunderstanding such as mistaking lust for love. The book, The Princess Bride, written by William Goldman, and the movie Shrek directed by Andrew Adamson, both portray individuals facing tough situations that can only overcome through the power of love. Specifically, in both contexts, this is proven through the characters, Westley and Shrek, and Princess Buttercup and Princess Fiona. Westley and Shrek share similar characteristics.

Miyazaki’s childhood was short as he was born January 5, 1941 during World War II, thus without exception, his films main characters are children, deal with growing up and often consist of one young female lead and one young male lead. This is evident in My Neighbor Totoro (1988) as the two main characters are young girls who, unlike adults, can see and befriend the spirits of the spirit world. In Spirited Away (2001), the leading character Chihiro is a young girl who must deal with growing up, similarly to Kiki in Kiki’s Delivery Service (1989). Princess Mononoke (1997) also features these stock characters in the form of young San, adopted daughter of the wolf goddess Moro and Prince Ashitaka, a young girl and boy. Hayao Miyazaki has expressed strong feelings about childhood, saying that it's a paradisiacal time when, "you're protected by your parents and unaware of the problems around you". Miyazaki’s upbringing during World War II would explain another unique mark of his films, that being his interest in flight.

The song “March to the Witch’s Castle” is about the return of soldiers from Vietnam. This war was not unique in the resulting casualties; the resulting total death count was over 2 million, with about 282 thousand of these being allied deaths. In addition, the Vietnam war returned many veterans who were traumatized, injured and ill. 150 thousand came home with severe injuries or amputations, and 21 thousand were injured to the point that they were unable to work for the rest of their lives. In another study done by the Veteran’s Association, roughly 30% of the surveyed participants had some form of PTSD. Finally, a largely disproportionate amount of these deaths and veterans were African American, due to the reduced draft requirements. These people were largely from poorer areas, and could not seek help when returning from the war.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a fiction in which one of the main characters, the sturdy lion Aslan, has the most power and authority. There are tons of images of Aslan from the book and the movie that relate to Jesus in Bible. The most outstanding images are the death of Aslan on top of the stone table which represents the crucifixion of Jesus, Aslan’s rebirth which is similar to the Resurrection of Jesus, and Aslan’s offering the stone statues life just as the figure of God made everything. Shortly, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe includes a number of biblical images that are the details from the Bible which were reflected by the book and the movie.

Lucy, the main character in "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe", was trying to prove to her siblings that she was speaking the truth while Tris, the main character in the novel "Divergent", did the opposite. Tris’ goal was to keep her secret from everyone to save her life and the lives of a few of her friends. Buck, an intrepid and mighty sled dog, was also working to persevere without being killed by his absurd owners or other rabid dogs. However, they were all either fighting for their lives or seeking acceptance from their loved ones.

There are many differences and similarities between the way the play The Crucible was written and the way it was recreated in the movie adaptation. Some of the differences in the movie are that it opens with the girls dancing in the forest, Tituba is beaten into confession, and Abigail tries to accuse Hale’s wife of witchcraft. As for the similarities, in both the book and movie Betty was sick after the girls danced in the forest, Mary Warren gave Mrs. Proctor a doll, and the themes. One of the most obvious differences between the book and movie occurs in the first scene.

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (1991) and Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands (1990) share elements in their films to tell the same story in different ways. The elements of characters, setting and plot all share similarities. These all helped portray the films themes.

The Chronicles of Narnia are veritably the most popular writings of C.S. Lewis. They are known as children’s fantasy literature, and have found favor in older students and adults alike, even many Christian theologians enjoy these stories from Lewis; for there are many spiritual truths that one can gleam from them, if familiar with the Bible.

With this in mind, and in the interest of this assignment, the purpose of this paper is an

The 1931 film, Frankenstein, which was directed by James Whale changed the mad-scientist/horror movie scene permanently. Although it is almost a century old, people are still reenacting it and discussing it. This film is about a young man named Henry Frankenstein. Henry has an obsession with creating life. Fritz, Henry’s assistant, helped collect body parts from recently deceased corpses. The two men got to work, binding the parts together, to create a whole human body. Using electricity from a thunderstorm, they managed to bring the body to life. The assistant was messing around in the lab and switched the brain they were using with a deceased criminal’s brain. Little did they know that the person they created with science would become a psycho killer.

To read a story is one thing, to break a story down to the building blocks and search for the hidden meaning the author sewed into his work is completely different. The specific type of work we are looking at during this paper is quest literature, to be more specific we are looking at breaking down this quest literature work to fill in the the seven archetypes of Joseph Campbell 's “ The Hero 's journey”. In C.S.Lewis’s work The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe he manages to use all seven archetypes and while they are not all clearly defined when you break the text apart you can see that more than one character can fill in for some archetypes. The seven archetypes are all used and some used multiple times

The epistolary form of the novel consists of a narrative based on letters, diary entries, newspaper clippings and other documentary records. It helps to bring realism into the narrative by lacing it with personal and historical references. It helps to add believability by incorporating a variety of perspectives on the events and characters in the novel. This form works for Dracula because the log of the ship captain and the diary entries of Jonathan Harker provide personal witness accounts to prove that the events are real as opposed to imaginary. Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster are a novel composed nearly entirely of letters by the orphan Jerusha Abbott to her benefactor John Smith. The form helps to record the growth of the character over the years.
