How would you feel if you were approached at random in your own home to go to a place where each day you’d be fighting for your life? Well, this was what happened to Ender Wiggins. Ender’s Game is a science fiction story focusing on battles between different armies throughout space. It leads to a search for different soldiers all trying for one ultimate goal: beating the returning champions, the “Buggers.” When looking at both the film and the novel, in my opinion, the book was superior.…
The movie added many new things to the script that were not originally in the book. One thing they added was the addition of flashbacks.

Many books have been made into movies, and people tend to notice that the movies do not highlight certain details that the books do. In A Separate Peace, there were many differences between the book in the movie, like Gene’s visit to Devon, the character relationships, and the different perspective of the movie. Gene’s visit to Devon 15 years later is the first scene of the book. The movie started at the start of his summer session. Missing this scene of the book made it lose the feeling that Gene forgave himself for Finny’s death.…

Tracy Letts once said, “when books and plays are made into movies, they frequently want to cut out the valleys and just show the peaks.” Award winning books are often made into movies to expand the viewers of the books. Many times parts are added, taken out, or deleted changing the perspective of the movie and sometimes the plot. Harper Lee’s, Pulitzer Prize winning novel, To Kill a Mockingbird was published on July 11th, 1960 and turned into a film that was released in 1962. On of the difference was they removed Aunt Alexandra from the movie.…
Ever since I was young, I would prefer watching movies to reading books. It was always more exciting seeing a character come to life on the big screen rather than having to conjure one up in my head. Of course there are some exceptions, such as Walt Disney’s film Johnny Tremain, directed by Robert Stevenson. It is difficult for a director to meet an audience’s expectation when creating a book-based movie, while also inputting his own take on the story. Though it is important to add some originality to a storyline, it is equally as important to stay true to the story itself.…

In “The Landlady”, Billy Weaver is lured into a seemingly normal bed and breakfast by an old lady who, despite her gentle and unthreatening appearance, wants to kill him. It is a story about how those with cruel intent may take advantage of those who are innocent and naive. Although the book and the movie can be arguably similar if generalized, there are many differences that may change the way a reader/viewer may grasp the concept of the story. Since a movie and book cannot be exactly the same, the film version is bound to have things that differ from the text. One example of how the book develops the development of the story is with the setting.…
Many changes were made to the characters in their appearances as well as omissions and additions to the movie, some were noticeable as where others were fine-tuned. The story line remained the same yet some of the chronology has been switched around, the essence of the book remains wholly intact. In an effort to bring the book to film the most important chapters were recreated for the audience to finally see what they had visualized while reading. The level of harshness was not depicted in the film as many of the audience had experienced in reading the novel.

“Lame…” is what I thought to myself once I finished watching the movie “The Maze Runner.” In my opinion, I thought that The Maze Runner book was way better than the movie. When I read the book, I believe I was a sophomore in Ms. Brown’s class and I shockingly liked the book. The reason why I say shockingly is because I never read books and when I do, I rarely like them. After we read the book we watched the movie, and I thought that it was a real disappointment.…
