The Shining By Stephen King

All in all there were many things different about the book compared to the movie.

For instance, in the book Joppy knew Albright; Albright knew Todd Carter; Todd Carter knew Richard McGee as well as Matthew Terrell whereas in the movie every character denied knowing each other except Albright and Joppy. Another noticeable difference is that in the book Frank Green, Daphne’s brother ends up murdered and in the movie he lives and they both end up moving. The third noticeable difference is a character name change from the book to the movie; Matthew Teran in the book is Matthew Terrell in the movie and he ends up being murdered in the book whereas at the end of the movie he’s running for mayor. A fourth noticeable difference is the pier scene. In the book Albright and Easy meet at the Santa Monica pier and in the movie it is the Malibu pier. And the last most noticeable difference between the book and the movie is that Mouse knows Daphne Monet or shall we call her by her real name Ruby Hanks; however, in the movie the audience never finds that out. In the movie the only true thing you get to know about Daphne is that she is both black and white. Therefore, due to the many differences between the book and the movie it is confusing to the audience since it is almost like dealing with two different stories because of the plot inconsistencies.

Some similarities are, one, the characters are the same. Winnie foster,in the movie and the book still kept her same name, her feelings about wanting to leave. In the book on page 13 it says , “Winnie Foster sat on the bristly grass just outside the fence” showing that her name is the same. Another similarity is, Mae Tuck hits the man in the yellow over the head with the rifle. In the movie it shows Mae Tuck hitting the man in the yellow suit

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 perception that the novel is usually better than the movie version in this case is true; I preferred reading the novel over watching the movie. The novel

Second, in the book Little Ann was known to be smarter than Old Dan, but in the movie they looked alike and had no difference from their appearance and characters. Third, the book tells about how Billy caught the first coon to train his dogs, while the movie did not show such an action. The next difference is the chapter 11 of the book tells about Little Ann who almost got drowned in the icy water and Billy could save her owing to his old lantern, but we couldn’t see it in the movie. Another different thing is when Billy and The Pritchards’ boys, Rainie and Rubin, had a bet to tree the ghost coon. The book mentions that they betted two dollars for it, but 5 dollars in the movie. It is said in the book how Little Ann won the best looking hound contest, but the process didn’t appear in the movie. The last thing is in the book Billy got 4 coons, so he could win the contest, while in the movie it is said that Billy didn’t win the championship but he was given the title by Mr. Bellington, the one who won the match.

The biggest similarity between the book, and the movie is the theme. The theme in both the book, and the

The novel and the movie share many similarities.The book and the novel share the same problems. A example johnny and pony run away since johnny killed bob.In both johnny gets injured badly and dies.

One of the differences is the movie and the novel have different beginnings. The movie starts with Pony writing. The novel starts with Pony getting jumped by a

When Jack races to the kitchen after seeing the wasps, he ends up “slamming the heavy part of his thigh into Ullman’s desk” and after “snatching” the bowl, “a dish fell to the floor and exploded” (King 192). Jack was impotent to stop the wasps, so he messily attempts to feel like he has dominance by violently subjugating objects. He is bumps into the desk of a man who made him feel inferior and he “snatched” a bowl that he will use to gain power over the wasps, causing a dish to “explode”. This harsh diction emphasizes how angry Jack feels and the brutality that allows him to assert power. Jack refuses to accept responsibility for his actions and instead reverts to blaming external sources in order to avoid guilt and displays of weakness that would damage his masculinity. Jack has a sudden feeling of unease, as though “it wasn’t the wasps that had stung his son… but the hotel itself” (King

The first difference is how Max and Kevin meet. In the book, Kevin gets his ornithopter stuck in a tree, and Max helps him get it out of the tree. In the movie, Kevin gets his ornithopter stuck in a tree, and Max just stares at him over the wooden gate trying not to get noticed, and then the next day when they come to school, Kevin is Max’s tutor. I think this is one of the most important ones

When watching the film, the first difference the viewer can see between the book and the movie is how the characters are portrayed. A notable example would be Carlson. In the film,

One difference is the appeal and image of the characters. For example, in the book Andy has blond hair and lives with her boyfriend named Alex Fineman. Later in the story, Alex breaks up with Andy. In contrast, Andy has brown hair in the movie. Also the boyfriend’s name is Nate Cooper, instead of Alex Fineman. Another difference in characters is

However, both take different approaches on how to tell the story. The movie takes more a traditional approach to tell the story by placing a bigger emphasis on using stunts and special effects to tell the story. Whereas the book provides a more complicated approach to telling the story by showing an imperfect person with a lot of flaws is put into a situation and despite all their flaws and troubles becomes a

In The Shining, recovering alcoholic and novelist, Jack Torrance, becomes the winter caretaker with his wife Wendy and son Danny at the Overlook Hotel in Colorado in hopes to cure his writer’s block. As the film progresses, snow piles high outside, and Jack’s mental health begins to deteriorate as he starts to succumb to the seductions of the hotel telling him what to do. Danny begins to have psychic visions of the hotel’s previous events, and Wendy believes that Jack has been hurting Danny. Furious about the accusation Jack goes insane, finally falling prey to the influences of the hotel, and concludes that he must murder Wendy and Danny. Jack then grabs an ax and begins to
