The text and the movie are different but also have similarities. Some of the similarities may be that in the book as well as the video Margot was locked in a closet. It also rained for 7 - 9 years in both the text and video until the sun came out for 1 hour. In the video and in the text the characters used sun lamps because the sun never came out. A few differences may include that in the video the characters use sun kits instead of not using anything in the text. The children collected flowers in the video but just ran around in the book. Also Margot walks out into the rain and cries in the video but in the book she just looks down and stands. Those are the differences between the video and the text.
