Movie vs Book Essay
I’m writing about the comparison to the book and the movie on multiple different scenes in the blind side. Being since i 've read the book and watched the movie i have a lot of knowledge on boths stories. Both are mostly the same but still there 's some sense that stood out to be different.
One difference that i 've noticed is that in the book michael needed extra credit to bring his GPA up and leigh anne got him extra classes to extend for the rest of the year “ he got an extra language class online” “ michael took before school bible studies that started at 6am” (Lewis pg.147) in the movie michael didn 't take any extra classes all he did was work hard with his tutor to get better grades in his regular classes.
Another major scene that was very different in the movie was how the tuohy family met michael. In the movie michael was walking outside in the cold walking to the school gym when the tuohy family drove by and leigh anne asked him where he was going and when he answered they turned their car around she got out and insisted he stay with them the night. But In the book it was totally different sean tuohy found michael “When sean Tuohy first spotted michael oher sitting in the stands in the briarcrest gym, staring at

In the book michael first was known to not know how to play football but when he got on the field he surprised everyone with his crazy ability at being amazing at the sport after seeing michael at the combines freeze said to another coach “ i didn 't know whether he could play,” ( Lewis pg.76) “but i knew this: we didn 't have anyone like him on campus.” (Lewis pg.76) . i picked this quote because it compairs the movie and the book in a way saying he didn’t know if he knew how to play or if he did then saying that there was no one else like him in there school also showed that he was most likely gonna be
In the book we read called Slam, and in the movie we watched called Finding Forrester, there were some similarities and differences. In both, the boys were faced with a problem, Slam’s basketball coach and Jamal’s literature teacher. They both also had an outlet person to look to for advice. In the book and movie, there were some good lessons and morals as well.
In my opinion there are a lot of comparisons between the film and the book, but there are also differences between them too, but also they have impacted the audience in both the film and the
My final is about the difference between the book and the movie “The Outsiders.” This next paragraph is about the description difference between the book and movie. Then the paragraph after that will be about the description of the background or cars that the characters drive or live in. I think that the move and the book where basted of the same story but I think that when the directors made the movie with some different cars or house that can change the movie or they put different things in it so that the movie will look better. Altogether the movie and the book were pretty good and had good meaning to it about want to think of life and it’s alright to not be tough and hard.
The film version is a better representation of Chris McCandless’ story because when watching the movie there are dramatic parts and shots that show how much time and effort that went into the movie, it connects the viewer to the characters which shows what they're thinking about deep down inside, and it really shows the different challenges he had to go through. In the book, you learn a lot about McCandless's childhood years, high school years, and college experience. The movie starts with college graduation and goes from there. how this connects to the thesis to the different type of character is in the movie then the book he goes to different parts of his life to get to where he is now in the movie it explains it better the in the book.
The Holocaust was a horrible part of history which has been written about or movies have been made about it. Night by Elie Wiesel and the movie Schindler’s List tell accounts from this time in history. However, the accounts in the book and movie are different, but do have similarities too. Schindler’s List provides a different point of view than Night does for some elements of the Holocaust.
The book ,”The Outsider”, has some differences from the novel and the film. For example, when Randy(a soc) was talking to Ponyboy Curtis in the novel, Randy said that he was going to load up his mustang and head south; in the film Randy didn’t say this. These differences are not hard to tell sometimes, or they are obvious. Dallas Winston robbing a store, Sodapop Curtis less developed, the car accident, and Dallis chasing kids. Here are some differences in the novel and movie.
Another difference is that in the movie they go into town, but in the book it 's never mentioned. Something else that was different was that in the book the mood was happy most of the time, while in the movie the mood was sad. A difference between the book and the movie is that in the book momma was going to burn Byron, but in the movie she does not burn him. A big difference is that in the
The movie has a different story structure. Unlike the book the movie has some flashbacks. Some differences are that she walks in oh the man in the beginning. The tells his wife in the movie that he is having an affair with another woman. The story clerk does not offer the woman cheesecake in the book.
A book and a movie can be both the same and different. In The Outsiders there are many similarities and differences with the book and movie. They were the same because Johnny kills a man, they cut their, there was the movie scene, and Johnny and Ponyboy went to the church. Some of the differences is when Darry slaps Ponyboy but in the movie he pushes him, Johnny doesn't bring a lot of food in the book but does in the movie he does, when Johnny killed the man it was more described but it wasn't in the movie, and Johnny says he wants to kill himself in the movie. In The Outsiders one of the themes is “friendship”
There are several distinct differences, as well as similarities, between the TWM book and the TWM movie. The main differences between the book and movie are Mitch and Janine’s relationship, the order and the location of the topics discussed, and Mitch’s job did not go on strike in the book. The main similarities are the aphorisms, the tape recorder, and the topics discussed. One main difference is Mitch and Janine’s relationship.
One aspect that differs between the novel and the film is Scout’s first day of school. The movie leaves out this scene and the scene where Calpurnia takes Scout and Jem to her church. In the book, the obvious main character is Scout, but in the film it seems as if Atticus is the main character. Another difference is the kids do not make up and play the Boo Radley game. This is a minor detail that was most likely left out because of time purposes.
The novel The Lone Ranger and the Fistfight in Tonto and the film Smoke Signals are very similar in many aspects but have some key difference as well. The main differences occur in the situation where the characters had a choice. The first situation is where Victor and Thomas is the book decided to abruptly leave the Trailer in which they were staying while in the film Alexie chose to stay there. This lead to some character development where Alexie shared some of his stories such as the one about the basketball game. Another difference is throughout the film it is shown that Victor and Thomas have a more strained and aggressive relationship this can be seen in the scene when they're in the truck and Thomas yelled at Victor and showed aggression that wasn't seen in the novel; in the novel Thomas and Victor have a more respectful relationship with one another.
One difference is in the book Percy and Annabeth was 12 years old and in the movie Percy and Annabeth was17 years old. Annabeth has blue eyes and brown hair in the movie, but she has blonde hair and grey eyes in the book. And Luke mentions to meet his dad once in the book but in the film, he never met his dad. In the book, Grover has a limp but in the film, he has crutches. Another different is Mr. D does not appear in the film but is in charge of camp half-blood as a punishment.
Into the Wild is a personal tale of Chris McCandless’ journey as he runs away from home to try and live in the Alaskan wilderness. The book follows the story through the eyes of the author as he investigates the mysteriousness of Chris’ life through the eyes of those he came in contact with and the journals left behind. However like every book adapted into movie there are slight differences and characterizations throughout the story that aren’t expressed deeply enough or seen in a different light. Into the Wild is no different.
No matter how hard directors and screenwriters try, it is impossible for any movie to be a perfect reflection of the detailed plot and intricate characters presented in a novel. I had watched the film adaption of Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend prior to reading the book, I was very aware of major differences from the get go. The to main categories that I could see differences being placed in were emotion and action. Many aspects of the book were changed to emphasize both either emotion or action for the film. Considering pieces of literature cannot be easily transferred to the screen, few of these changes were very necessary.
