    The movie did leave a lot out from the book so it isn't as well detailed as it could've been. The movie changes the scenery from the beginning to being at a tattoo shop and Hannah’s age to make her older like 16-17 and shows a scene where she is driving to her home, in the book Hannah is 13 and the book says her mom picked her up from rosemary’s house. The book mentions Hannah having a little brother aaron, but in the movie he isn't mention nor does he read the questions at the dinner table or hide the bread like said in the book. When hannah opens the door to Elijah she doesn't see the fields or people working she goes straight into a hallway in Ruby’s house. In the book Ruby is mentioned to be Hannah’s best friend in the movie she is mentioned as not only her best friend but her cousin also.…

    They had similar scenes and concepts, however, they did have some minor differences. The most significant of these differences was that the movie showed many scenes from other points of views that were told in the third person while in the novel, it was all from Katniss's point of view and only showed what Katniss experienced. For example, in the movie, there were several scenes of President Snow, the leader of the Panem and Seneca, the Gamemaster. These scenes depicted them talking about Katniss and her actions and allowed you to understand what happened to make the hunger games possible and the darker truth of the dystopian city. In one scene, Seneca and President snow were discussing why they had a winner in the Hunger Games even though those games were a reminder of what happens when rebel against the Capitol.…

    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.

The reason why I say shockingly is because I never read books and when I do, I rarely like them. After we read the book we watched the movie, and I thought that it was a real disappointment.…

    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.…
