Great horror movies stick with us because they have a great story and a chilling underlying fear sitting under the surface to stick with us. Subpar horror films have the story, but lack the underlying fear. Bad horror films lack both. NIGHTMARE CODE is a subpar horror film. The same problem afflicted this this year’s highly acclaimed IT FOLLOWS, but in reverse order.…
Mongooses are born to kill snakes, they can also kill King Cobras, the deadliest snake.

He saves this family multiple times, and gains their trust. Mongooses are born to kill snakes but what Rikki-Tikki-Tavi did was absolutely amazing.…
Freak the Mighty Book vs. Movie Sean Budomo The book Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick and the movie made after it, The Mighty, have many similarities and differences that make them unique in their own ways. The plot in both the movie and the book is the same for the most part, except for a few outliers. This story is about two boys who are opposite in how they look, but they are treated the same way. One of the boys’ names is Kevin, or Freak.…
I believe that “A cry in the wild”does a better job than the novel Hatchet. I think this because A cry in the wild explains what happened way better than the novel Hatchet. For an example when the pilot had a heart attack the movie made it look like he was in very bad pain but in the novel Hatchet it didn't even sound like he was hurting. Also the movie uses way more foreshadowing and imagery. Like when Brian throws his hatchet across his shelter it made sparks.…
Did you know that the movie for the outsiders is only roughly one hour and thirty minutes. Some might say that the movie the outsiders makes you have less sympathy for Johnny and Dally. I am saying this because in the book Dally sounds like he wanted to die more in the book. I am saying this because when it was written in the book even said he had a look of triumph in his eye, and in the movie, it seemed that he was scared and how he didn't want to die. The book is better.…
You are six years old and are forced to fight your countries enemy and were taken away from your family and could possibly not see them for years; Ender Wiggin was six and was taken away from his family to fight the buggers in space and both the movie and book shows his struggles along the way. The book is better compared to the movie because it allows the reader to better understand Enders thoughts and feelings while he is on his journey and allows the reader to paint a mental picture of certain characters. Like any other book, Enders Game had several themes throughout the story and without, we would not see the characters evolve throughout the story and grow. One of the many themes in Enders Game is strength; when he entered the camp, Ender was isolated from everyone and was forced to overcome obstacles thrown at him in order to see if he can and how he will handle them; another theme is competition. Enders Game is a book nothing but competition between Ender and the other kids, competing to be the best at defeating the buggers.…
There are many similarities between “Legend of The Sugar Girl” by Joseph Boyden and an excerpt from “The Education of Augie Merasty” edited and formalized by David Carpenter. They both talk about the many hardships that the students of residential have gone through. “Legend of The Sugar Girl” talks about addiction and the effects that the residential school put on the children after they graduated from the schools, while the excerpt talks about what has happened in the school and the way the nuns and teachers treated the kids. Both do have some similarities in what they try to convey. They both talk about the sexual abuse that went on in the school, how even though it was bad there was still things to look forward to like treats, and the punishments…
I feel like I could relate to both stories in a way the second story witch was written by Gerald Graff titled "Disliking Books" witch as the title says it's about how Gerald Graff does not like books witch is certainly right up my alley because i have always disliked books. I was never a good reader but there has been that rare case where ive actually found a book that i enjoined the book "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho so in a way i do have similarities with Gerald Graff on disliking books and he too has had that rare occasions were a book has drown his attention like the whole controversial ending to the book "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" witch forced him to read it again and in his own words "to my surprise found myself rereading it with…
The differences between the book and movie the outsiders The book was written by S.E Hinton. The book was a good book the boys each have each others backs they don't need anybody but each other especially not the greasers because they are mean boys who think they are better than everybody because they are rich boys who beat up greasers and they like to do that because they are rude bullies but the boys each have echothers back and they can hopefully protect themselves from the greasers. I think the outsiders was a good book if you wanted to know about true friendship when his ponyboy was drowning and johnny went to go save him and it meant that he had to kill someone for his friend but that shows a lot for who he truly is it doesn't matter…
Ungifted When I read the book ‘Ungifted’ it felt like I was walking through a wonderland. I love the book ‘Ungifted’ because there was a lot of action, it let us experience the characters more and I could connect to Donovan and the book too. There was a lot action throughout the whole book. In one of the chapters Donovan broke the Atlas Statue with a twig, it was an old statue that was on a hill and the bolts kind of eroded and when Donovan hit it the globe started rolling then hit the gym floor breaking it.…
I believe that Hatchet does a better job of telling the story than “ A Cry in the Wild.” I believe this because the book said said “we didn’t see his dad but, in the movie we did “(twice). His dad has blonde hair, and he was wearing a white shirt. On page 146 about the tornado in the book it says “water slamming and going in different directions. The movie you just see wind.…
Paper Towns: Book vs Movie I’ve chosen to write about the differences between the book Paper Towns and the movie, basically what they didn’t include and what they changed in the film adaption. Personally I would say that I prefer the book before the movie, because the book is obviously more detailed and you get to read about the character's backstory and get to know them better. The author, who co-produced the film, made a video on youtube where he talked about the fact that the movie will be like the book but at the same time it will not.…
However, one's relationship to fear is an essential adjusting expertise that should act naturally aligned after some time, and Goosebumps offer kids some assistance with doing that flawlessly. The story never gets too overwhelming or genuine; the tyke heroes never pass on, and the dangers are quite often otherworldly occasions that couldn't really happen. There is never any disrespectful dialect, and youngsters can depend on and foresee the plot structures in a way that is consoling. They can travel through the content at their own particular pace; they can close the book and quit reading whenever if things start to feel excessively extraordinary for them. In 2004, someone in Crawford County, Georgia claimed the book Double Date deals with issues too complex for teenagers to confront.…
The movie was not good because it didn't have many details. This is about The Outsider’s movie and the book and in my opinion the book is better than the movie. The Outsider movie and the book both have some similarities. They have more different than similarities.…
