The book also began easier to understand, you knew immediately who some of the characters are and like. In the movie, it was hard to know who each person was till further into the movie . The beginning off the movie began were Ponyboy was meeting Cherry Valance a Soc, but in the book Ponyboy didn’t meet Cherry till the second chapter. The story’s both passed both in different ways.…
In the movie it has many added characters and unnecessary occurrences. The movie adds an alcoholic man and his sister; they also add many more mercenaries for Zaroff's use. In contrast in the book the only characters on the island are Rainsford, Zaroff, Ivan, and the captives of Zaroff. At the beginning of the movie, on the yacht, you can see all the sailors that were aboard the ship. However, in the book the author only writes about the conversation between Rainsford and Whitney, which ends up Rainsford falling off soon.…
“The only person you can count on is yourself.” In the book Hatchet by: Gary Paulsen, Brian is faced with the challenge of finding good food. Brian, after thinking, realizes that the lake has fish in it that he could catch and eat. He spends hours and hours making a “fish spear”.…
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.…
and I visioned no fire but in the movie there was a fire in the background. In the movie I saw trees in the background and they were playing dramatic music but in the book there was no trees and no music in the background. The movie was more effective during this scene because I got to see and vision what was going on so I understood it more.…
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. In both the novel and the film, we learn about the life of a baseball player named Roy Hobbs, who was born with a talent and was given the ability to pursue his goal of life. 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.…
In the book they had so much details on what was happening and how everything rolled out. Now with the movie to me it just looked like one big fight, you couldn't see anything it was just one big blob of people fighting. The ( book ) was more effective during this scene because (it gave more details when it came to…
Introduction : Have you ever imagined about that if you are alone in the whole island? Maybe almost everyone of you had thought about it once, at least. It was fun for me to think about that subject. It was interesting to think about what am I going to dop without no one's help. Completely alone.…
A few important character connections and details were in the book that were left out in the movie. In the book, for example, Kim and Mia’s relationship wasn’t as detailed in the movie. It didn’t show their fight like it did in the book and all of their childhood between the two seemed to be missing from the movie. Mia and Kim had some important things that occurred in their childhood which I thought was important and should have been included in the movie. Her grandparents also weren’t in the movie as much as they were in the book.…
Imagine just imagine that one day your parents are divorced and during the summer you have to go and visit your dad in Canada where he now works, there are so many things going through your mind and you know a secret that your father doesn't about why they split up. But before you could even reach your dad the pilot of the small single engine plane, the pilot dies of a heart attack, the plane crash lands a little while later. You are stranded in the middle of the Canadian wilderness. That is the just the basic beginning of the book Hatchet. Do you think you or Brian Robeson will survive this disastrous situation?…
I believe that Hatchet does a better job of telling the story than “ A Cry in the Wild.” I believe this because the book said said “we didn’t see his dad but, in the movie we did “(twice). His dad has blonde hair, and he was wearing a white shirt. On page 146 about the tornado in the book it says “water slamming and going in different directions. The movie you just see wind.…
Ironically due to the storyline; the book is better than the movie, because it is shows better description, character analysis, and it gets the point across to the reader to show what leads up to the main idea. While, the movie it is more vague and fast paced so it's hard to comprehend the storyline. The book is more illustrative than the movie. For example, the…
I have come to this conclusion because many main characters were excluded, the story with Johnny’s hand was changed, and also Rab’s death never happened. So, why was the movie so drastically different from the book? Dove, Madge, Dorcas, Isannah, and Lavinia. All major characters that were not included in the movie.…
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.…
