The Pearl Movie Vs Book

Decent Essays
In The movie The Pearl There were many thing that were similar to the book. One example, is that coyotito was stung by a scorpion. I am glad that they kept this in the movie because it was a key role in the book because After that they had to travel to the doctor the she if they can help then, then the doctor finds out they have the pearl, then that leads to him being hunted. Also, they kept the scene of Kino finding the pearl because without this pearl the whole movie would be called The Pearl and. they wouldn't have been hunted either. Last, I liked how they kept the scene where they get hunted by the trackers because this shows that people know that they have the pearl, and leads to Kino killing 3 men. I am glad to see some key scene from

    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.…

    Amity Movie Vs Book

    • 671 Words
    • 3 Pages

    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.…

In the book and the movie, Jonas left the village and crossed the border to release memories, showing the citizens what they were missing. On page 166-167, it said, "He knew he had the remaining hours of the night before they would be aware of his escape... Together the fugitives slept through the first dangerous day."

    The Glass Castle is a nonfiction book that was later turned into a movie. The book was written by Jeannette Walls, and the book is about her life. This story is a mostly about the family dynamic of a family who moves around quite often and where each member of the family has their own sets of difficulties. I think the book was turned into a movie for two reasons, one is that the book has parts that would not be super appropriate for younger readers, so they made it into a more of a kid friendly story. The second reason is that not everyone wants or has the time to read a book, it is much easier to see a movie trailer and then think I can spare two hours to go watch this movie.…

    As an avid book reader, my response to “book or movie,” is always book. The book has free reign to take one where the author intended for one to go. A movie has no such ability. It is constrained by social obligations and media requirements. Often, the director of said movie is unable to dig into the details and moments the author has laid before one.…

    A general misperception is that when movies that are based on a novel, or graphic novel, are made with have the same storyline, characters and archetypes. However, it is my humble opinion that movies made from books are drastically different to the original. The graphic novel Coraline was written by Neil Gaiman. As it was extremely popular, it’s no wonder, Henry Selick later turned it into a movie. There are so many different literary devices in the two versions that it provides an opportunity to convey that these changes have been made in order to appeal to the target audience.…

    This theme goes along with the novel because, Kino had plans to sell the pearl for wealth, and education for his son, and to be happy again with his wife happily married, but he is blinded to the fact that the pearl is bad luck, and desires to full-fill his dreams. "My son will read and open the books, and my son will write and will know writing." (Steinbeck 33). Instead, he receives pain and loss from his son being dead, and he also throws the pearl due to its back luck which is also horrible. John Steinbeck's The Pearl is an amazing book and meets a recommendation.…
