In the book it was written in 3rd person limited, but the author had a technique to it. “He weaves in and out of the creatures' heads, cluing us into things like Clover's distress about the executions.
One thing to notice. The narrator spends a lot of time being aggressively neutral with the passive voice. Take this instance: It was noticed that they were especially liable to break into "Four legs good, two legs bad" at crucial moments in Snowball's speeches.But the cool thing about this technique is that the narrator gives the animals' perspective, showing that they notice things but don't really get it. They can't put it together.”
In the book, the point of view used was great, because we got to know the thoughts of [Jessie] and how she felt, as if the watcher was there with her. As well it went and told from another view point, third person limited omniscient, that was keeping up with what Jones was doing.

It's the most important part of a story, what especially makes the book good is the details of the plot. The details of the movie weren't really that good compared to the book. The book really tied everything together and the reader could fully grasp what was going on, or just make it more interesting. For example, Squealers speeches, that was one of the uses of propaganda used in the book, basically during the Russian Revolutionary War, he was a newspaper. During then that's how most people got the news, and everything they read in it had to be true, so they believed. Just like Squealer, everyone believed what he

    Even though the phrase “point of view” is just three measly words, it is one of the most important choices an author needs to make while deciding how they are going to write their story. Will they write in first person and use “I”, and “we”, or write in 3rd person and address people by their names or use pronouns like “he” or “they”? Although many people decide to write in third person point of view, both the stories The Georges and the Jewels by Jane Smiley, and Black Beauty: The Autobiography of a Horse by Anna Sewell develop their characters through first person point of view. The Georges and the Jewels is a story in perspective of a little girl named Abby, who has had both the good and the bad with horses. She has been thrown off of her…

    In chapter three, Mary Shelley introduces the creature in different way allowing the readers to see both sides of the story. The creature has been described as a fleeing monster who is accused of being a murderer. It appears as if Mary Shelley is standing as the prosecutor and defense attorney allowing the readers enact as the jurors. In order to provide credible information in favor of the creature Mary Shelley uses point of view diction and tone to show that he is in fact "a baby just learning about life and his world" The usage of first person point of view in chapter three allows the readers to see inside of the creatures mind where he is in the stage of resurrection and appears as a newborn child.…

    In the book Animal Farm, written by George Orwell he writes about animals that have taken over a farm and then pigs running the farm, and talking to each other, as well as the pigs walking on two legs towards the end of the book. While the movie Animal Farm, animated by, Joy Batchelor, and John Halas, made in 1954, tell the story of the animals taking over the farm, but they do not have the animals talk, they also do not have them walking on two legs. Although the book and the movie do have their differences they also have their similarities.

    Through written words or ones spoken on a screen, The Help by Kathryn Stockett is a very thought provoking story. The controversies brought up throughout the storyline push us to ponder the rights and the wrongs committed throughout history. Another way to look at the story is through the characters, their relationships, and their feelings. In both the visual representation and the written version of The Help we are able to view these characters intertwine their stories with each other, to create a novel that they could be hung for. Both representations allow us to feel as if we are in Mississippi, sitting next to Hilly at bridge club, sneaking to Aibileen’s to tell our story, we can even feel the pain of Mae Mobley when Aibileen is forced…

As the film proceeded throughout the story, very close to exact in comparison to the book, the film incorporates scenes from the book as well as many different approaches to certain key events that lead to change in an event. For example, similar climatic events presented in the book and in the film involve: Old Major’s significance in his speech regarding Man as a major enemy, Napoleon banishes Snowball over their discussion regarding Snowball’s plans for the farm and his plan of execution, and the pigs’ removal of the original anthem of Animal Farm. The significance of Old Major’s speech to the animals in the novel creates a…

    Movies convey their emotions by hearing and by the picture, thanks to the great sound and visual effects the details seem more real. However, a movie projects one main picture that can be somehow limiting to the spectator, who, will not think any further to what is depicted on the screen.

Nevertheless, books are not just bunch of letters and words, books make the reader capable of expanding their imagining capacities. Usually, after reading a book, there are countless ways to interpret the story and details, thanks to the lack of visual limitations.…
