One of the biggest differences between the movie and the book was the age of Winnie. In the book she was a young girl of ten and in the movie she was fifteen years old. This most likely was a choice of the movie makers because it decreased the age gap between Winnie and Jesse and allowed for a romantic element, which the movie expanded into a large part of the story. The love scenes did not push the movie into an inappropriate realm, but adults should be cautioned that kissing and cuddling all night are portrayed and possibly should be discussed when viewing with pre-teens. Babbitt describes Winnie as, essentially, having a crush on Jesse, but it was a very innocent relationship. Jesse, too, was taken by Winnie and encouraged her to drink the water when she was seventeen and they could spend an eternity together. The book explains that Jesse gives Winnie a bottle of the water, giving a very physical symbol of the monumental choice that she must make. The movie, inexcusably, omits this. At the conclusion of the book, Mae and Tuck, not Jesse as portrayed in the movie, return to Tree Gap after many years, discover the gravestone of Winnie, realize that she never partook of the water and exclaim, “Poor Jesse”.

Throughout The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford, I sympathized with Keiko and Henry the most. Although both are minority races, they are discriminated against differently. Keiko identifies as 'American', but that does not seem to matter as her family and the rest of the citizens of Japanese descent are whisked into armed, prison-like camps by U.S. officials. I can relate to her since I have been discriminated against because of my ethnicity. It seems easy for some to make stereotypes about other races, especially in a time where everyone is looking for somewhere to place the blame. For example, the discrimination is evident when Keiko and Henry try to buy a record- Keiko is not even acknowledged because she is Japanese.
