Of mice and men movie review
I Think that Of Mice and men gotta ⅘ stars because of the fact that it went a bit too fast compared to the book. I feel that the book added more details and took things a bit slower. Also I feel that the book has more detail and it adds more depth to the story. How it changed i believe that the story had the basic events down to a tee. Some of the events were left out. I noticed a ton of differences that could have been missed by an non observant person. The plot was very different and I believe that it really affected how I liked the movie. Some of the differences I noticed were that Lenny never spoke with Crookes which I don’t really know why. Also another thing that they changed was when they were talking at

For lots of those people, that goal is just to get around the challenges that one day brings upon them.

    Synthesis essay “Doodle was just about the craziest brother a boy ever had.” In both The book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and the short story “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst, the main character feels shameful about the other main character. In Of Mice and Men George is afraid that what Lennie will do will get them in trouble and in “The Scarlett Ibis” the Brother is embarrassed to have a disabled brother. The way Doodle’s brother treats Doodle in The Scarlet Ibis is alike to the way that George treats Lennie in Of Mice and Men because some of their actions come out of a place of shame and fear, and the shame and fear that they felt ultimately caused Doodle and Lennie’s deaths.…

    Paper Towns: Book vs Movie I’ve chosen to write about the differences between the book Paper Towns and the movie, basically what they didn’t include and what they changed in the film adaption. Personally I would say that I prefer the book before the movie, because the book is obviously more detailed and you get to read about the character's backstory and get to know them better. The author, who co-produced the film, made a video on youtube where he talked about the fact that the movie will be like the book but at the same time it will not.…

    It had a great cast that played out each character like they were in the book. The only thing the movie changed was to make it more cinematic or visual and to make it fit better in a movie format. I thought the movie did a great job in explaining more of the dark humor. This made the movie enjoyable because of how the scenes were scripted and played out. I liked the movie a bit more than the book and it made the book easier to read because of the nonlinear sequences.…

    “The best laid plans of mice and men/ often go awry” (Burns 38). Steinbeck adapted this quote from Robert Burns to write his novel, Of Mice and Men, indicating similar themes such as companionship. Dreams of the characters are also mentioned in both works, along with how they are not achieved at the end. The characters and their personalities also tend to resemble each other between the works. John Steinbeck’s book Of Mice and Men shows many allusions to the poem “To a Mouse” by Robert Burns through unachieved dreams, the characters’ compassion and the unfair treatment of weaker characters.…
