All Summer In A Day Movie And Book Comparison Essay

Great Essays
Everyone has seen a movie? Read a book? Yes, of course. About a place that rains everyday? How would you feel? This essay will be about the differences between the book “ All Summer in a day “ to the movie. The author of the book Ray Bradbury really did not give us as much detail and information unlike Ed Kaplan (the artist of the movie). With the advantage of the movie details, Ed really showed a “ sad ” mood. In movies, the artist can make things very suspenseful with different shots plus the type of music. The book can really describe the setting if it has the right mood and purpose. Margot, the main character moved to Venus, where it rains all the time and the sun comes every seven years.

Both of these authors use their knowledge to help make their story better understand to others. Between, the two mediums many differences separate the two and many similarities tie them together. Something to think about in both mediums is, What if they didn’t have music or lots of detail? Bradbury’s swing of detail is great, it is nothing compared to what else I’ve seen.

If you have seen a movie and a book from the same story you know they are different. If there was no music and no books that are attractive would they be less popular? “ Books and Movies are like apples and oranges. They both are fruit, but taste completely different.” (Stephen King) Both mediums are great; however, some people prefer one or the other. What do you like better books or

    Introduction: My favorite quote throughout the entire story was when Johnny told Ponyboy when he was dying to “Stay gold, Ponyboy… Stay gold.” The meaning of the word “stay gold” was to tell you to stay innocent for as long as you could. My opinion of the book was that the book was good, but it would give too much information for parts that were not important. My opinion of the movie was that it did a good job of just getting to the important parts of the story.…
