Divergent: Where did the characters go?
Neil Burger did a horrible job of expressing the book Divergent, and the characters. Victoria Roth showed Tris as a strong, and bold character. In the movie Tris was whiney, and gave up easier than she did in the book. Fear didn’t seem to excite her as it did in the book. Four was also different in a sense that he wasn’t as scared of his father as he was in the book. Peter wasn’t as cruel either, and it doesn’t give you the same reaction as it does in the book when you read Insurgent after Divergent. In fact they didn’t have Uriah in the movie because they couldn’t find anyone they liked to play him.
The relationship Tris and Four had in the book is way different in the movie. It is not as close or loving

    Many books have been made into movies, and people tend to notice that the movies do not highlight certain details that the books do. In A Separate Peace, there were many differences between the book in the movie, like Gene’s visit to Devon, the character relationships, and the different perspective of the movie. Gene’s visit to Devon 15 years later is the first scene of the book. The movie started at the start of his summer session. Missing this scene of the book made it lose the feeling that Gene forgave himself for Finny’s death.…

    No book or movie is ever alike. This is shown in the book “Enders Game” by Orson Scott Card and the Enders Game movie by Gaven Hood, where the book and movie had many similarities but as well had many differences. In the novel Ender is portrayed as a very different kid after he gets to battle school; however this is not shown in the movie. Another difference would be how Lock and Demosthenes were not mentioned at all in the movie, yet had a huge role in the book, and the final would be the endings for both the movie and book as well as Enders reaction to what’s going on in the end. These three reasons show how the movie is very different from the book.…

    Insurgent began with a very interesting and fast-pasted start beginning only an hour after the previous book in the series Divergent. I thought this was very well done by the author because while it would have been better to read the previous book in the series, the way the author Veronica Roth wrote the book, any reader that did not read the previous book Divergent would be able to understand what was going on in the plot of the book by the end of the first chapter. Roth’s’ writing style made this possible for readers. Next, Roth’s character development was also executed very well in that one of the main characters named Tris had been turned from a shy-static girl into an intelligent-dynamic risk taker by the challenges the author had presented…

    In “The Landlady”, Billy Weaver is lured into a seemingly normal bed and breakfast by an old lady who, despite her gentle and unthreatening appearance, wants to kill him. It is a story about how those with cruel intent may take advantage of those who are innocent and naive. Although the book and the movie can be arguably similar if generalized, there are many differences that may change the way a reader/viewer may grasp the concept of the story. Since a movie and book cannot be exactly the same, the film version is bound to have things that differ from the text. One example of how the book develops the development of the story is with the setting.…

    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.…
