A Cry In The Wild Vs Hatchet

Decent Essays
In my opinion, the movie, “‘A cry in the Wild’’ does a better job of explaining the story than the book, Hatchet. It helps with foreshadowing and imagery. Also, the movie does a way better job because, instead of having to imagine what the story looks like, you can see and hear what is going on with Brian and the pilot. It could make the book a whole lot more interesting if it had pictures, or drawings. For example, they could have had a picture of Brian and the plane, or him catching some fish. That would also have made the book a whole lot intriguing. Right now I'm sticking with my suggestion that the book is not as good, while the movie does a way better job. All in all, now ya’ll can conclude that the movie, ‘’’A Cry in the Wild” does

    The book Hatchet told a better version of the story because it gives full detail of what Brian´s life was like and how he got stuck in the woods.

    I believe that “Hatchet” does a better job telling the story more than ¨A cry in the Wild. I believe this because, they had more imagination to the book more that the movie. They had a moose in the book, the part where the blond haired man kissed Brian’s mom in the wagon. Brian had a friend named “Terry”. When Brian and Terry went to the park to play a pretend game like they were lost.…

    It gave exquisite details on how each individual part happened and how each character responded. Supporting my thesis, the novel was more intriguing than the movie. Each event was described clearly, whereas in the film many were left out or unspoken of. I feel as if the movie focused on just the main parts of the story, but in the book every little obstacle was written out. Therefore, I have given various examples as to why the book was better than the film, along with the major similarities and differences of the…

    Hatchet I believe that Hatchet has done a better job at telling the story due to. It gave a greater number of detail in the story to support whoever reads the book to more competently understand the story. For, example when the moose attacked him it gave so much detail I could feel the pain, and torture he suffered, but in the movie it did not provide as much detail as the book. When the plane crashed I could just feel the water, and I could make out the green, and blue of the lake. In conclusion I believe that the book Hatchet does a better job at telling the story than the movie Cry In The Wild.…

    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.…

    For decades, popular novels have been published and years later followed with a film. Although the movie tends to portray imagery, the course of events in the book tend to contrast to those of the film. This became abundantly clear when I read the book and watched the movie, The Natural. In both the novel and the film, we learn about the life of a baseball player named Roy Hobbs, who was born with a talent and was given the ability to pursue his goal of life. Although his mindset was determined to break all the records in the game, many obstacles stood in his path ultimately skewing his priorities and driving him towards a path only ending with failure.…

    In the book they had so much details on what was happening and how everything rolled out. Now with the movie to me it just looked like one big fight, you couldn't see anything it was just one big blob of people fighting. The ( book ) was more effective during this scene because (it gave more details when it came to…

    Another thing about the book is it seemed like it could have happened to someone out in the world. When the characters were sad or happy it seemed as if it were real and they weren’t just characters in a book. However in the movie it seemed different, because it didn’t seem to be as real as the book…

    The movie is very different from the book because sometimes in the book they include more details than in the movie. In the movies they spend a lot of time filming everything and sometimes one scene takes all day to film. In the book is something similar but not too much because in the book they take time to write everything and then to convert it into a book but what do you think. Something that they have in common is that they are written by the same author and it take place in the same year, but this is not always because sometimes they film the movie years after the book.…

    Jaws A great plot escalating smoothly with 3 dynamic characters it is a grossing story that does a great job at hooking and keeping people interested until the end. Horror, Action/adventure, suspense, with a dash of comedy the genre of Jaws is very unique and contribute to the greatness of jaws. Although my first viewing of jaws was a great experience. I personally suggests anyone who has not seen jaws to see it, as it is an experience unmatched by most modern day movies. Jaws takes place in amity island where a humongous great white man-eating shark is terrorizing the people of this beach centered town.…

    Often movies are made out of blockbuster books. Sometimes the movies do a good job of capturing the most important moments from the book and presenting them in the movie. Unfortunately, some movies do not always accurately depict the books they represent with full details. There are many reasons why a movie depiction of a book fails not least of which is because they are only given a couple of hours to tell the whole story in the book. A book is able to go in depth with the character’s emotions and experiences while a movie based on the book is limited by the length of the film.…

    Ironically due to the storyline; the book is better than the movie, because it is shows better description, character analysis, and it gets the point across to the reader to show what leads up to the main idea. While, the movie it is more vague and fast paced so it's hard to comprehend the storyline. The book is more illustrative than the movie. For example, the…

    It seems an unfair view to expect a movie about a book to be exactly the same down to every single detail. Communities of fans will always find something wrong with a story, for it has “failed” to match expectation. Books are a place where someone can be dragged into the story and forget about everything else for a short while. Movies do the exact same thing, except it is seen as an easier way than books for a lot of people. Ignoring obvious differences (such as the fact that one is in picture form, and the other is in words), movies and books may not be so different after all.…
