Storytelling has been a part of people's’ lives since the beginning of time. It started with just verbal communication, then it was translated into written word, and now there hundreds of ways to tell those same stories. Movies and books, for example, are two very different ways to tell stories to an audience. A story can be a book, but not a movie or vice versa. Many books are made into movies, but lose major elements in translation.

It is often said that dreams become reality when intentions become actions. In the Broadway play A Raisin in The Sun written by Lorraine Hansberry, Mama portrays just how much dreams define one’s character and affect the actions that follow. The play set in the 1950s revolves around Mama and her family: her daughter Beneatha, her son Walter, and her daughter in law Ruth, and the steps they take to achieve their different dreams. Throughout the play, it is apparent that Mama, also known as Lena, is on two different levels on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs pyramid. She consistently exhibits the characteristics of a person on stage 5, while still not feeling protected, for she is African American, thereby violating stage 3.

A book and a movie are similar and different in many ways, for instance, a movie is a visual representation including audio, while a book leaves you with reading and imagination. In most cases your imagination prevails the limited visuals a movie offers but, I believe that the movie tells this survival story better. In this case we are comparing Hatchet (the book) and A Cry In The Wild (the movie) , and frankly, the movie’s visuals depicted a lot of things better.

The book Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick is a book about two boys that become best friends and have a special connection. In the movie, The Mighty, there are several scenes the same, but there are also many different scenes.

In the movie, the lunch scene is different because of how Freak is playing with the gruel, and making jokes to impress a girl.
