    For decades, popular novels have been published and years later followed with a film. Although the movie tends to portray imagery, the course of events in the book tend to contrast to those of the film. This became abundantly clear when I read the book and watched the movie, The Natural.

Although his mindset was determined to break all the records in the game, many obstacles stood in his path ultimately skewing his priorities and driving him towards a path only ending with failure.…

    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.…

    Both the book Slumdog Millionaire (originally called Q&A) written by Vikas Swarup and the film adaptation of the same name directed by Danny Boyle received mostly positive reviews and critique, which cemented both of these works deep into the area they were apart of. The movie proved that you could make a successful movie using a traditional Bollywood recipe, and the book showed us how devastating and soul-crushing life in an Indian slum could be. The book also garnered an array of good feedback based on how it handled the different areas in India, and how the system was unfair in many of the different places. The book and the film adaptation have the same underlying pillars, but they differ a lot when it comes to plot and characters, and it is fairly unreasonable to say that the movie stays true to the source material of the book.…

    In both Crime and Punishment and Chronicle, it is obvious to draw parallels between the novel’s protagonist, Raskolnikov, and the movie’s protagonist, Andrew: both males are isolated by society, for which they are a contributing factor; both harbor a deep resentment against those around them; and both of them commit a violent act that ultimately marks their doom. The beginning exposition of both the novel and the movie spends a significant amount of time emphasizing the protagonists’ loneliness. The very first page of the novel describes Raskolnikov as someone who is “completely absorbed in himself, and isolated from his fellows;” in the same way, the movie begins in Andrew’s dingy room and shows him friendless as he gets bullied for his camera (Dostoevsky 1). As the storyline progresses, however, it is evident that these characters are not completely helpless victims;…
