Based on the the text “The Chaser” he would agree with the quote, “The only thing worse than a boy that hates you: a boy that loves you.” by Markus Zusak from The Book Thief. I think he would agree because the way he portrays Alan it shows he thinks that love is annoying and hard to deal with when you do not love the person back and they want to make you love them but you just do not want to.…

The book is superior to the movie in that the representations of violence are less in most ways than in the book.…

Giving one-dimensional words life and turning it into a three-dimensional movie with sounds and visuals takes effort and to effectively portray a movie from a novel is extremely difficult. It takes countless hours of imagination and thoughts to do but in my opinion, Martin Campbell, director of Casino Royale (2006) made all the right decisions and pressed all the right buttons to successfully portray Ian Fleming 's 1953 novel version of Casino Royale. The famous book Casino Royale written by Fleming’s is his most famous and also paved the way for the rest of the coveted James Bond spy novel series that still continue today. Many wonder where Fleming’s extensive knowledge of the secret service world came from and it is because he worked as…

In many book to movie adaptation, characters and scenes are added or left out to meet with time constraints or to keep the movie interesting. The 2011 movie adaptation of Jane Eyre directed by Cary Fukunaga is no different, it attempts to stay true to the five-hundred-page book in just under two hours. However, the director lacks fidelity in his movie adaptation. While, the movie stays true to the basic storyline of the novel, many scenes in the movie destroy the integrity of the main character Jane Eyre, altering her from an independent, observant, intellectual character, to one who is weak, controlled, and ultimately the walking symbol of the patriarchy. There is one particular scene that has been added to the movie that best portrays the weakening of Jane Eyre.…

She didn’t dare to look up, but she could feel their frightened eyes hanging on to her as she hauled the words in and breathed them out… For at least twenty minutes, she handed out the story. The youngest kids were soothed by her voice, and everyone else saw vision of the whistler running from the crime scene. Liesel did not. The book thief saw only the mechanics of the worlds-their bodies stranded on the paper, beaten down for her to walk on (Zusak 381).…
