Compare And Contrast Hatchet And A Cry In The Wild

Decent Essays
Constructed Response Hatchet does a better of telling the story. It gives more details,and I can understand what was happening throughout the book. In the film, it was going from one thing to another. I didn’t understand what was going on throughout the movie, A Cry in the Wild. The book does a better job of telling the story because it uses multiple amounts of foreshadowing and imagery. One point in the book, he described how the raspberries were sweet and a little sour. He was telling us that the berries were filled with juice and taste. That would be imagery. In the movie, he didn’t tell us that the berries were good and filled with juice, all he had done was make a face. That doesn’t really tell us anything about how they taste. One

    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.…

    I thought HATCHET did a better job at foreshadowing because it actually gave you a clue of what was going to happen. In a “Cry in the Wild” I really didn’t understand what was going to happen until it happened. On the other hand,I thought since it was a movie “a Cry in the Wild” had better imagery but just by a little bit because Hatchet had a bunch of descriptive words. All in all, I thought hatchet had a better compound of foreshadowing and imagery than “a Cry in the…

    One major difference between the two is that the movie ends and leaves the audience in hope. While on the other hand, the book leaves the reader in great guilt and despair. Though the book sounds better than the movie it does have an edge by being able to show the hardship of discrimination amongst society. It really gives the audience a look on how group conformity is supporting the cause. Although, the book is more straightforward and has a cause and effect action, with the war being in effect.…

    I think it is safe to say that if you are alone in the Canadian wilderness in an unknown situation it is no one’s ideal situation. But in the book Hatchet written by Gary Paulsen, that is what happens to 13 year old Brian Robeson when he is going to Canada to visit his dad. But when the plane he is flying in crashes because of the pilots sudden heart attack, He is stranded in the Canadian wilderness where Brian is isolated and stranded and has nothing but his hatchet and himself to try to survive. Even though Brian is stranded he manages to survive after a grueling fifty four days in the wilderness. Unlike Brian I do not think I would be able to survive because of my characteristics and my abilities to see day fifty four.…

    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.…
