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 book delves into the residents of Amity in more depth than the film, but none of it is very interesting. Amity is a small town of about a thousand year-round residents, with the population increasing to around ten thousand during the summer. The year-round residents depend on the summer crowds to sustain them through the rest of the year, so when the pesky shark starts dining on tourists and Sheriff Brody is forced to close the beaches, it could spell doom for the town. The book does a good job setting this up, but adds two hugely unnecessary subplots, one simply boring and the other horrendously offensive on just about every level. We’ll start with the boring one.…

A utopia is a community or society striving for perfection. For example, in the book and movie no one has their own birthday.…
SYNOPSIS The anatomy of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s assassination has fuelled an increasing diversity of historical views, each theorizing different groups or individuals as conspirators in the plot to murder Kennedy, in accordance with their viable motives. Disputing what was deduced by the Warren Commission asserting that Harvey Lee Oswald, ex-U.S. and defector to the Soviet Union, as the lone assassin, prominent theories that have been devised include those which purport the C.I.A, the K.G.B or L.B.J as the perpetrators. The first viewpoint implicates the U.S Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A) as culpable for Kennedy’s murder, with their motives aligned against Kennedy after the Bay of Pigs “fiasco” in 1961. The Soviet Union…

When I was in middle school, my family and I would always cozy up in the living room to watch a good movie on Sunday nights.

It portrays a young, black man, Michael Oher, who is adopted by a wealthy, white family, The Touhys, trying to succeed in academics and his football career. It shows how he basically comes from nothing and grows up to become a successful football star.…
To Kill a Mockingbird, a novel about two siblings becoming aware of social problems in Alabama during the great depression was recreated into a film in 1962. Although the book and movie, were very similar the recreation has many limitations that the novel doesn’t. With the characters, narration, and plot it is proven the novel was better than the film. Because the film had limited time to tell each interaction with all the characters, it left out extremely important characters such as Aunt Alexandra and Miss. Maudie. Towards the end of the novel, Aunt Alexandra reassured Scout into thinking Jem wasn’t dead, comforting her throughout the journey.…
“Lame…” is what I thought to myself once I finished watching the movie “The Maze Runner.” In my opinion, I thought that The Maze Runner book was way better than the movie. When I read the book, I believe I was a sophomore in Ms. Brown’s class and I shockingly liked the book. 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.…
The article “The absolutely official, completely objective, not biased at all, definitive list of Steven Spielberg movies, ranked:” compiled and written by Dustin Parkes is a list of all of the films Steven Spielberg has directed. Parkes describes Spielberg as “the most celebrated director in American film” therefore it is abundantly clear that he is a fan of Spielberg’s work. However, Minority Report is ranked as number thirteen out of thirty-one, so it is clear that Parkes regards Minority Report as a good movie, not great though. In the review of the film, one controversial issue has been the use of violence. On the one hand, Parkes uses a scene that occurs after a particularly grotesque moment in the film: to prove that Spielberg is a great director.…

Both the book Slumdog Millionaire (originally called Q&A) written by Vikas Swarup and the film adaptation of the same name directed by Danny Boyle received mostly positive reviews and critique, which cemented both of these works deep into the area they were apart of. The movie proved that you could make a successful movie using a traditional Bollywood recipe, and the book showed us how devastating and soul-crushing life in an Indian slum could be. The book also garnered an array of good feedback based on how it handled the different areas in India, and how the system was unfair in many of the different places. The book and the film adaptation have the same underlying pillars, but they differ a lot when it comes to plot and characters, and it is fairly unreasonable to say that the movie stays true to the source material of the book.…
