The movie helped you feel like you were actually there and the book helped you understand why they were there and what was happening in that timeframe.

    A few important character connections and details were in the book that were left out in the movie. In the book, for example, Kim and Mia’s relationship wasn’t as detailed in the movie. It didn’t show their fight like it did in the book and all of their childhood between the two seemed to be missing from the movie. Mia and Kim had some important things that occurred in their childhood which I thought was important and should have been included in the movie. Her grandparents also weren’t in the movie as much as they were in the book.…

    When I read the book and the saw the film I noticed many similarities and many differences but I choose the one of each that I thought was cool. Like how in the film Kevin was hit with a basketball, later he was playing basketball with Max. This is a difference because in the book that never happened instead they went to the firework festival and got trapped in that pond of mud after being chased by the blade and his crew. They made this change from the film and the book because the director wanted to spice thing up a bit.…

    Now, when a book gets adapted into a film, there is obviously going to be differences. It’s not exactly a simple task translating a 300+ page book into a one and a half hour movie. For instance, when Peter Jackson adapted J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings into a major motion picture, the amount of content from the book that was left out was rather large. The main thing is that the task of deciding what goes into the movie and what can be removed or set aside from the film, is put on the director.…

    Fear is a fragile belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat, from the article The Science of Fear by Jules Oliviera. Morality is the principle concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior. Often times these two terms are thrown together, one depending on the other. In the book The Inferno there is a blurry connection between the two. As our hero descends through various levels of hell, there are threats in each one that seem to make him a little more astute.…

    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.…

    “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.…

    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.…
