Hatchet Vs. A Cry In The Wild
Hatchet does a better job of telling the story. This is because the amount of time spent at the lake and has more details and shows that Brian can get hurt and isn’t superhuman. Hatchet has imagery like the roaring plane and others which aren't quite as good as the ones you see in the movie. The book’s foreshadowing isn't quite as good as the films either. After all this you would think the movie didn't care about anything but imagery and foreshadowing and not the actual goodness of the cinematography This also tells that there was a lot more effort involved in the book than A Cry in the Wild. A Cry in the Wild displayed imagery and foreshadowing better. This is because we can see the blood and the gore and every

    I believe that “Hatchet” does a better job telling the story more than ¨A cry in the Wild. I believe this because, they had more imagination to the book more that the movie. They had a moose in the book, the part where the blond haired man kissed Brian’s mom in the wagon. Brian had a friend named “Terry”. When Brian and Terry went to the park to play a pretend game like they were lost.…

    If you enjoy a book more than a movie. Then you’re going to agree with me if you have read the book of Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt and watched the movie Tuck Everlasting from Disney. Tuck Everlasting is a story about a girl named Winnie who meets a family that is burdened by being immortal. Natalie Babbit’s Tuck Everlasting is better than Disney’s Tuck Everlasting, because it gives more imagery, suspense, and characterization.…

    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.…

    I believe that Hatchet doses a better job of telling the story. I believe this because, Hatchet gives more details than the movie “A Cry In The Wild” does. In Hatchet he went to sleep like three times after the plane had crashed in the pound. But in the movie he just went to sleep ones. Also in the novel Brien called the barriers gut barriers, but in the movie he called them throw-up barriers.…

    My Opinion on “A Cry in the Wild” and Hatchet I think that Hatchet did a better job of telling a story, because the movie wasn’t all that organized. Is this true? Well, let me tell you. In Hatchet, everything happened in order. For example, when Brian saw the plane in the lake he found the survival pack.…

    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.…

    Hatchet does a better job of telling the story. It has more details and explains everything so the audience can understand what’s happening. In the movie, things just happened and I could barely tell what was happening. The book gave details and facts which help the reader know what’s going on. I feel the novel displays the components most effectively because it explains every little tiny detail that helps the reader catch up and figure out what’s happening in the book.…

    Often movies are made out of blockbuster books. Sometimes the movies do a good job of capturing the most important moments from the book and presenting them in the movie. Unfortunately, some movies do not always accurately depict the books they represent with full details. There are many reasons why a movie depiction of a book fails not least of which is because they are only given a couple of hours to tell the whole story in the book. A book is able to go in depth with the character’s emotions and experiences while a movie based on the book is limited by the length of the film.…

    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…

    The book is longer and has a lot more detail than the movie. Gone is the explanatory prologue, the siege at Cassie’s house during the third wave, her odyssey in the woods, most of the fallout from her gunshot wound and the bulk of the immensely appealing and very well-written common-sense internal monologues that make Cassie, well, Cassie…the first four waves themselves are hurriedly compressed into the film’s initial half-hour; and the denouement plays as rushed and perfunctory. (Cockrell)…

    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.…
