Monkeys Paw Compare And Contrast

Improved Essays
I am going to compare and contrast the play and story of the monkey's paw. I liked both even though i may have likes imagining the story, or watching the play not having to imagine i liked bot.     To start with i liked the book a lot i felt like i got to imagiam more. I got to picture in my head what the setting was like what the characters were like. There was a lot more details in the book then there were in the play. Even if the play did not get all the details that the book had it was pretty good. But, surprisingly the setting of the play looked very similar to that i imagined when I was reading the book. Hence, the book had more settings like the bedroom and stair case, but for the play it was excellent.     In a like manner I felt that the theme was the same in the play they got the theme out through it i found defendant ley tell that the theme was don't wish because what you have right now you should not take for granted it is pretty good. …show more content…
 So, I felt like they really were the same and that's a good thing.    On the other hand, the plot in the play to me went way faster than the story did. They would not be able to act everything out that was in the book. Or else it would take way longer and it would be kind of hard to act up every detail. I mean they did a phenomenal job but if it did not read the story I would not understand

    Usually, if the audience that watched one of the many plays performed by others, they get the wrong information about what actually happened in the novel, like how in a play, Scrooge’s gravestone grows up to 10 feet high, begins to glow green, and has smoke coming from it. In the novel, however, the gravestone does not do anything that happened in the play, and it’s a normal gravestone. In short, the play and novel are similar in some ways, like how they are both based or loosely based on the novel, both versions have the three ghosts, and how Scrooge becomes good heart person and enjoys Christmas. They are also different, like how the ghosts are portrayed differently in the play and novel appearance…

    For my “field trip” assignment, I attended Arthur Miller’s The Crucible at the Shakespeare Taven in Atlanta. The Tavern is in the midst of the city, which seems to immerse itself in Atlanta’s culture. It is a clean, building with a main floor and a balcony, where I watched the play. They also had “old-timey” foods available for purchase.…

    In my opinion, the play exceeded my expectations. I did not expect the actors to perform in a way that made me believe his or her conflict. The setting was well thought out and complimented the dialogue in a way that made me pay more attention to the conflict. The painting also added to the setting by focusing on the art aspect of the play. I also enjoyed the humor of the play.…

    The scene was very different than I had imagined it in my head. I got a few things similar like a couple of characters costumes and some of their tones and emotions when saying certain lines, but the majority of the actual play was much different than the picture I created in my mind. The scene started off with four fairies all running onto the stage having a good time and giggling while running around. They were clearly all very childish and they all came off a little bit immature. They were chasing each other and laughing.…
