Themes In Ransom Of Red Chief

How would you feel if you got blamed for something you didn't do. The Cruciblie by Auther Miller is about a town and it start with a group of girls that get caught in the woods doing witchcraft. Then the group of girls starts to blame the townspeople to get them in trouble and to get them out of it and the people that were blamed got exicuted or went to jail if they admit to it. Guilt and power are the two main themes in the story.

The older boys are portrayed as the very typical teenage male, bad boy archetype. From the very start of the movie, the older boys are always smoking cigarettes (Stand By Me). This shows that the boys are supposed to be more of the rebellious, typical teenagers. In another scene, the boys drive around town smashing mailboxes (Reiner). When the boys do this, it demonstrates the idea that they are very rebellious teenagers.

Another major difference between the written story and the movie is the character of the father. In the short story the author only mentions him briefly. "The father went to town to some office. But though

In this story and short film, there are a lot of similarities and differences between the two. In The Ransom of Red Chief movie, Bill and Sam kidnapped Red Chief and put him in a box, yet in the story, they tied him up. Another difference is that Red Chief’s name, in the movie, is Andrew. In the story Red Chief’s actual name is Johnny. In the movie, Red Chief runs away but, in the story, Red Chief didn’t leave the cave. Red Chief decided to take Sam and Bill’s car out for a joy ride in the movie. There are a lot of other differences but, there are some similarities too!

The first difference that caught my eye was how there was no cat, in the book there was a cat named, Sammie, and Sammie always got stuck in one of Billy’s traps. But in the movie

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

Both Kevin and Red Chief were boisterous characters in their stories. While Kevin and Red Chief may have some similarities they also have a large amount of differences. one of these differences is the fact that Kevin is a caring character while Red Chief is a violent character. An example from the movie Home Alone showing that Kevin is caring is the scene where he is talking to his neighbor telling him to call his son and make up with him (Home Alone). this shows that Kevin can be a kind person as well as a obstreperous person. He can be a nice person when he needs to be, unlike Red Chief. In the story Red Chief it says, “ I remembered that Red Chief had said I was to be burned at the stake at dawn”(O’Henry 65). This evidence shows that Red Chief was willing to torture or kill Sam. He didn't care that he was hurting other people, physically and mentally, with his actions. There are also some similar character traits shared between the criminals in both stories. The antagonist in both stories could be described as greedy. In the story Ransom of Red Chief it states,” Bill and me figured that we could shake down Ebenezer for a ransom of two thousand dollars to the last cent”(O’Henry 62). This highlights the fact that bill and Sam wanted to get money from kidnapping Red Chief. They wanted an absurd amount of money from Ebenezer which caused them misfortune in the long run. In the movie Home Alone when the robbers try to steal things from the McCallister

To begin, the first difference I observed between the book and movie is that the movie has a different opening scene than the book. The movie starts out with Ponyboy writing in a composition notebook on a page titled “The Outsiders.” In the book the beginning scene is Pony boy walking

Main and minor characters share similar traits. Both boys are creative .The short story states “ He did this whenever he imagined that a crack of a twig or a rustle of a leaf meant that outlaws were sneaking up”. This proves that Red Chief has a very creative imagination. In the movie Home Alone Kevin creates a series of traps to stop the criminals. This shows that Kevin is creative because he was able to come up with those traps to hurt the criminals. The criminals in both stories have the trait of being greedy.

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.

Differences (stick with at least four)- Ponyboy has a good relationship with sodapop and gets along better with darry but still has a very good relationship with his brother. In the beginning of the book, Pony gets jumped by some Socs, but he doesn’t get cut with a knife. In the movie, they cut him. In the movie when ponyboy is talking to cherry he says how the sun on the south side and she says”good how bout the north.” In the book it's written west and east. Also in the movie johnny never got his first beating from the soc in the book he does. In the book it gave more detail and information in the movie it starts like in mid way of the book.

One of the big differences between the movie and the was the food they ate. For instance, the movie and book have the boys eating different food while at church.

One way the book is different is the way Dave Isay play a major part in the kids live in the movie so you see the impact he has on them and the up and down with the documentary Ghetto Life 101. You don’t see that with the book because you only get Dave Isay point of view on the five pages unlike the movie where he in their live constantly. Also the part where Lloyd the part when Lloyd got beat up when his father cheated in a game of pool. That

So far there have been 2 adaptations of the story called “the ransom of red chief”. Sad thing is just like every adaption of a story to a movie it always gets slack about the things is different between the two and about the story being better. This there is not a deciding factor about which of these is the better one because they are different but also very similar. Here I’ll show first the differences, in the short story unlike the book they try to sell Johnny candy but in the movie the straight up go up behind the kid and stuffs him in the trunk of their car, While on the subject of his actual kidnapping bill didn’t get hit in the head with a rock in the short story. The next difference was the fact that in the book they took red chief to a cave in

In “The Outsiders” it is a rollercoaster of emotions and relationships that twists into a crime scene pulling others in. “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton is about a boy who’s town is split into 2 gangs, the greasers and the Socs. His parents are dead. He lives with his older brothers. The boys commit a crime and hide from the police, but then something happens and they get hauled back to town and they become heros.
