The Lovely Bones Movie Vs Book

The book by “The Lovely Bones”, by Alice Sebold, is a very interesting one. It has an interesting plot of Susie's family attempting to solve who murdered Susie. The person who did murder Susie was their neighbor Mr. Harvey. It has an encouraging theme that you should never give up and always keep on trying no matter what.

Peter Jackson’s 2009 film, The Lovely Bones, is based off of the New York Times bestseller novel written by Alice Sebold. Both the book and the movie adaptation tell the story of a young, 14-year-old girl named Susie Salmon who is brutally murdered by her neighbor. In both versions, Susie narrates her story from the place between Heaven and Earth, the “in-between,” showing the lives of her family and friends and how each of their lives have changed since her murder. However, the film adaptation and the original novel differ in the sense of the main character focalization throughout, the graphic explanatory to visual extent, and the relationship between the mother and father.

Although the book The Hound of the Baskerville and the film The Hound of the Baskerville have very similar main ideas there are smaller details that are different but still have an effect on the mood and plot. For example, Selden, in the book, has a beard, “‘A beard! A beard! The man has a beard!...It’s not the baronet-- it is---why, it is my neighbour, the convict’”(Doyle 193). While in the film, they discover the convict Selden is dead by a tattoo on his hand. A small detail but important for the plot. The book and the movie have many similarities and differences, both big and small, throughout both with their characters and overall mood.

The unfortunate circumstances that the Salmon family went through were depressing and a shock to everyone, but, it made everyone look at their lives and what was truly important to them. In the novel The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, Susie, Buckley, and Lindsey think that they will be together forever, but after Susie is killed and no one knows what happened to her everyone decides to respond in a different way. Some violent, some illegal and some are just out of the protection of the family. But, Jack Salmon believes that Mr. Harvey is Susie’s killer and has put it at the top of his priorities to prove it. Their family did not only have to go through the loss of a loved one but after Susie’s Death they stopped communicating with one another,

The American author, Alice Sebold, published the three books: Lucky, The Lovely Bones, and The Almost Moon. Alice Sebold grew up in the Philadelphia suburbs as her father was a Spanish professor at the University of Pennsylvania and her mother was a journalist for a local paper. She attended college at Syracuse University achieving her bachelor’s degree in studying writing, and she would earn her Masters of Fine Arts from the University of California in 1998.

The story called The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold is about a girl named Susie who had gotten raped and killed at the age of 14. Throughout the story it was about life after Susie with her immediate family like her mother Abagail, her father Jack, and her younger sister Lindsey and how they adjust to life after Susie, as well as the effects of Susie’s life in heaven being away from her family. The death of Susie had a bad impact on her immediate family psychologically and emotionally and each of the character’s grieving process of susie’s death was different . With Abigail the death of Susie causes for her to be denial of the death and become depressed as well. Jack goes through denial with Susie’s death and as the story goes on he comes

The Hobbit (There and Back Again) is an absolutely wonderful classical book. In fact, it has been made into a three part movie series, two of which have already been released. The two movies that have been released will be what I am covering in this report.

In Alice Sebold’s novel, The Lovely Bones, the Salmon family learns that their fourteen year old daughter, Susie Salmon, has been raped and murdered. Because of this her father, Jack, sister, Lindsey, and mother, Abigail, all go through their own respective journeys in order to accept this ordeal. During this time of grievance for Susie’s family, her father, Jack, believes that the person responsible for the murder of his daughter is his neighbour, a man named George Harvey, and reports this to detective Len Fenerman. However, Len Fenerman becomes too preoccupied with his affair with Abigail to aid Jack with his suspicions. Meanwhile, Susie’s younger siblings Lindsey and Buckley, try to learn how to cope with the loss of one of their very own, without their parent’s attention to aid them. In The Lovely Bones, Susie’s father, mother, and sister, all explore the theme of grief by going on their own pathways through the five stages of grief; denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, in order to come to terms with the brutal murder of their beloved Susie.

To me, both Tolkien and movie producers in Hollywood captured many of the different aspects and angles of the timeless classic The Hobbit. Although I pictured some scenes and characters different in my mind, both the movie and the book outdid themselves with lovely yet gruesomely fascinating detail. I myself am not sure if I favor the movie or the book better. Each did a great job of benefiting details to the story by either giving great descriptions of high quality imagery. Both the movie and the book both portrayed the story perfectly in their own ways.

“Sometimes you make choices in life and sometimes choices make you.” This is my favorite quote from the popular book written by Galye Foreman in 2009, and then later created into a movie in 2014 called if I stay. The story about Mia, the 17 year old high school student who plays the cello and is totally obsessed with classical music. After a tragic car accident, she gets the rare opportunity to reflect on her entire life. Mia begins to have an out-of-body experience where she becomes separated from her body and is conscious to hear and see everything going on around her. As each event unfolds, Mia reflects on the past’s years with her family. Eventually, Mia’s projected body grows weary and she knows it’s time to make a decision. Return to her body and fight, or let herself slip away

The novel and film The Lovely Bones written by Alice Sebold both contain the same line of, “My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973” (Sebold 1). This line starts off the book and is said by Susie a few scenes into the movie. These words engage the reader or watcher right away by leaving that person with desiring more. While there are some similarities between the novel and film version of The Lovely Bones written by Alice Sebold, it is the differences that make the book stand out more than the movie.

The implicit ideological theory or perhaps theme in lovely bones about murder is inadequate to such modern environment, this would probably be my thought about this book five years earlier, but as I channel through a world of corruption, famine, but mostly murder, I finally reorganized my process of thinking. This story is about a girl been raped, and murder by her neighbor, and her family started to get confuse of this unexpected situation, and after few day Susie disappeared they are trying to solve the case by connected the puzzle together.

In the movie, “The Lovely Bones”, directed by Peter Jackson, a 14-year-old girl named Susie Salmon was brutally murdered on December 6th, 1973 by her next-door neighbor, named Mr. Harvey. At first, she went missing for a while and the police were only able to find traces of her hat, and an excessive amount of blood.
