Therefore, she finds herself attracted to anything that is a symbol of the past, and as McCarthy says regarding memory in post-apocalyptic fiction, her “memory of the past [gives] way to the onset of the future” (1). This is especially true as the novel progresses with more and more connections being drawn between Kirsten and others around her. The connection between Kirsten, Miranda, Arthur, Clarke, and Tyler all come together once Kirsten completes her journey heading to the Severn City Airport. Therefore, her journey is based on her memories, and her desire to complete her ambiguous reminiscences of the past.

imagination by the hand. There are not that many things that are different in the

In Station Eleven, by Emily St. John Mandel, there is a scene that resonated with me personally. In this scene the main character Raymonde says, “What I mean to say is, the more you remember, the more you’ve lost” (Mandel 195) In this scene, Kristen and Francois are having a conversation about memory and how not having memory can be a positive if something awful happened in the past. Kirsten is talking about how she doesn’t remember anything from before the Georgia Flu due to the fact that she was eight years old when the pandemic hit and wiped out most of the population. Kristen is explaining that the people that are having the hardest time in this new world and the ones who still have memories of the past. They are focused on what the world used to be that they can’t see what the new world could be like. Those who are young and can’t remember the world before the pandemic can more easily move on because they have nothing to compare the new world to. She illuminates to the audience the toughest choice the characters face throughout this novel : do they protect their old identity by clinging to pieces of the old world or do they accept that they need to forget what the world was once like and move on?

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.

"It's a sin to kill a mockingbird," explains Atticus Finch to his children (To Kill Dir. Robert Mulligan). Neither the novel nor film version of To Kill A Mockingbird is better than one another, just different. "It's no secret that adapting a novel to film can be a perilous affair. A movie, even when it's good, doesn't often convey the feeling of the book it's based on. But in this case screenwriter Horton Foote treated the Harper Lee novel - about a Depression-era Alabama lawyer and his two children - with love and respect, and the director successfully evoked the

The Outsider movie and book are both the same and different in many ways, but they are both good. They are good because they both go into detail about how it was back when their were greasers and socs. The reason it was made was to show that is didn't matter if you are a greaser or a soc but to show that everyone is different but they don't need to fight. “The Outsiders” was made to tell people about how everyone is not who you think they are and that people can change and do things for the better and how that if you get in arguments that the arguments don't have to become fights. There are a lot of people involved in “The Outsiders” the three main characters are Jhonny, Darry, and ponyboy. Ponyboy has two older brothers his oldest brother is Darrel his second oldest brother is sodapop, sodapop has a friend that is a greaser and he is two bit Mathews they both work at a gas station, the last greaser is steve randel. They are all a big group together and that group is called greasers because they slick their hair back with lots of grease.

A similarity that is very important between the book and the movie is how the Dauntless initiation is. The initiation to become a member is almost exact, and that is important. In the movie and the book, the Dauntless initiation has three parts. The first part tests your physical strength. They show this through making initiates fight, shoot guns, throw knives, and run. While fighting, they get points if they win and none if they don’t. The points are awarded differently, though, such as if the initiate wins to a higher ranking opponent, then they get more points as opposed to if they win to a lower ranking opponent. Only the top initiates ranked get to continue to the next stage. The second stage is focused on mental and emotional preparation.

Hey everybody, it's Haley! On Sunday I went to go see The 5th Wave, but before I start off, I'd like to mention that I also read the book. You know how everyone says, "The book is always better than the movie.", well it wasn't any better than the movie. In my opinion, the movie was just as good as the book, like seriously. Even though the directors might've missed a few things from the book, it was literally just a fast pace version than the book. Everything was just so phenomenal; the scenes, conversations, and the actors were just so amazing. Anyway, let me get into the movie.

Losing a loved one is not easy. Imagine losing your whole family when it’s least expected. In class we read the book If I Stay. This book is about a girl named Mia. She had a great life, great friends and family, a loving boyfriend and an acceptance to her dream college; Juilliard. Mia and her family were on their way to their grandparents house when out of nowhere, they got struck head on by another car. This left Mia’s family dead and her life changed forever. We see her life through flashbacks, as she tries to figure out whether she should hold on longer, or let herself go. There are a lot of scenes in the book that are not in the movie, or vise versa. I found myself to enjoy the movie better than the book because it was easier to understand

In recent years, it has become popular for many of America's great literary masterpieces to be adapted into film versions. As easy a task as it may sound, there are many problems that can arise from trying to adapt a book into a movie, being that the written word is what makes the novel a literary work of art. Many times, it is hard to express the written word on camera because the words that express so much action and feeling can not always be expressed the same way through pictures and acting. One example of this can be found in the comparison of Ken Kesey's novel, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and the film version directed in 1975 by Milos Forman.

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

As Olga Dzhumaylo puts it in her essay, Kathy’s “…identity may derive not from dread of donations but from recalling and maintaining memories of both childhood and young adulthood that differ significantly from that of her friends.” (95) This can be seen by the constant reference to the fact that these are memories. Each of these memories serve as a source of identity for Kathy and revisiting the stages in her life allow the readers a glimpse at who she is as a person. As Yugin Teo points out, “These memories are the clones’ only real possessions, for even their own bodies do not belong to them” (p134).

In Chapter 7 of the novel, Kathy’s memories, “treasure” her attitude to her memories of Hailsham. Kathy regarded the experiences at Hailsham as positive encounters. This showed that she accepted her past life and wanted to embrace the future. Therefore, that is why she wants to preserve her memories of Hailsham. However, Ruth at first is still at the stage of denial since she does not want to reconcile her present life with memories of Hailsham.

The book, "Being There," is about a man named Chance, who is forced to move out of the house he lived in his whole life and his experience in the outside world. Based on the success of the book, the movie, "Being There," was made. The author of the book, Jerzy Kosinski, also wrote the screenplay for the movie. I think the major difference between the book and the movie is that in the book, we get to read what Chance is feeling and thinking, but in the movie, we only get to see his actions.
