Charlotte's Web Movie Vs Book

Improved Essays
A few weeks ago I read Charlotte's Web by E. B. White. It was an interesting book considering it was the first time I read it. I've seen the movie multiple times when I was younger. The movie does not compare to the book. By reading a book you can describe the surroundings in greater detail, as opposed to movie. Also, considering it can be challenging to get the exact, in depth details that are in movies, which helps your imagination run wild. The main conflict in the book is that there is a pig named Wilbur who was born the runt of the litter and he was also born very weak. He was about to be slaughtered when the daughter of the farmer, her name is Fern, saves him from being slaughtered. Moreover, the pig winds up being sold to another farm

    “So take stock in America my heirs, and sing in praise of this generous land.” (Raskin pg 36) In a mysterious and patriotic way, this book confused readers and the characters of The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin.

The Westing Game novel and movie contain many interesting and mysterious facts worth noting.…

    Amity Movie Vs Book

    • 671 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The book delves into the residents of Amity in more depth than the film, but none of it is very interesting. Amity is a small town of about a thousand year-round residents, with the population increasing to around ten thousand during the summer. The year-round residents depend on the summer crowds to sustain them through the rest of the year, so when the pesky shark starts dining on tourists and Sheriff Brody is forced to close the beaches, it could spell doom for the town. The book does a good job setting this up, but adds two hugely unnecessary subplots, one simply boring and the other horrendously offensive on just about every level. We’ll start with the boring one.…

    A general misperception is that when movies that are based on a novel, or graphic novel, are made with have the same storyline, characters and archetypes. However, it is my humble opinion that movies made from books are drastically different to the original. The graphic novel Coraline was written by Neil Gaiman. As it was extremely popular, it’s no wonder, Henry Selick later turned it into a movie. There are so many different literary devices in the two versions that it provides an opportunity to convey that these changes have been made in order to appeal to the target audience.…
