Ender’s Game is a science fiction story focusing on battles between different armies throughout space. It leads to a search for different soldiers all trying for one ultimate goal: beating the returning champions, the “Buggers.” When looking at both the film and the novel, in my opinion, the book was superior.…

    The movie To Kill a Mockingbird, based on the novel written by Harper Lee showed the life of a child during the Great Depression and captured the theme of innocence taken away by evil. In most cases the book is always better than the film because life lessons are taken away in greater detail and are much easier to apply to a reader's life. Many movies stray from the book as did To Kill a Mockingbird, but also captured the scenes not shown in the book. Unlike the book, the movie had taken away the relationship that Boo Radley had with the children. One part of the book which was not shown in the movie was Mrs. Maudie's house fire when Boo Radley had draped a blanket over Scout’s shoulders while Jem and Scout were standing in the cold.…

The other two members are Fezzik, a sympathetic giant who doesn’t want to be left alone, and Indigo, a revenge filled swordsman.…

    Jane Eyre Book Vs Movie

    My favorite part of the movie was Jane and Rochester’s friendship, though anyone who read the book would know it was more than that. I liked when Blanche Ingram said, “a man should pay no heed to his looks,” and Rochester replied with “then a pirate would do for you.” It reminded me of in the novel when Mr. Brocklehurst asked what Jane must do to avoid Hell and she said “I must keep in good health and not die.” Furthermore, I liked when Mason had just been attacked by Bertha and the guests at Thornfield exited their rooms to see what was going on, as they heard a scream. Rochester said to the guests that it was just a servant’s nightmare, but to Jane he brought her to Mason; he didn’t tell her truly what happened, but he would have if…

    In the The Outsiders book and movie, many similarities and differences can be noted. Some are very noticeable, and others are not as much. Some main events in the book were left out of the movie, and little sentences from the book are entire scenes in the movie. Since certain scenes were left out from the movie that were in the book, the significant aspects and symbolism that were connected to them were also left out. Although some scenes did not have as much importance as others, the absence of them left a gap in the story line.…

    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.…
