Mrs. Barbour The Watsons Go To Birmingham Comparative Essay The story of a family that got a little bit more than a trip to see their grandma in Birmingham got blown way out of proportion. The story written by Christopher Paul Curtis involves the family having troubles with Byronn and they travel to Birmingahm to keep them there for the summer. Now, I’m not saying that the movie doesn’t have any detail about the characters, it’s just that the book had the frosting for the cake.

That’s what I really liked about the book better than the movie. I always thought that Byronn was bigger that he was portrayed in movie. Also, Kenny was described with a lazy eye. The movie never really expressed that idea, and also mama really had a different apperance than what I thought. I always that she was a little bigger that what she really was. Now, the Whoo Poo was a little, just a different than what I pictuerd. Okay it was a lot. It was described as being squared. In the movie it looked like it was a spirit rather than a evil version of Winnie the Pooh. It actually was scarier than what I thought too, I pictured it as a funnier thing than it was in the movie. So I really liked that and.
Finally, the movie really focused on discrimination and what was really going on with the world at that time. In the book it focused on the family a lot more. I really liked the family and how the lived. The humor as well was pretty funny as well. When By stuck his tongue on the mirror of the Brown Bomber, Kenny and Daddy thought it was pretty funny. But mom and Joey were really scared as Byronn. The book also got into more detail about the record player. Daddy was getting all weird and so was Kenny. It was just more funny than the movie.
So between the novel and the movie, I think we a have a pretty obvious winner. The book just got into more detatil and I always prefer the novel over the
