Compare And Contrast Westing Game Movie And Book

The Westing Game, a very interesting book with the plot and the character setting aligned perfectly. Yet, the movie and the book, not so matched perfectly. There are many similarities, but also many differences. In my opinion, the book was much better, I think it was better thought out and described. The plot, characters, and book itself was very different and similar at the same time. In the Westing Game book and movie, the point of view is different. In the book there is an anonymous narrator, but in the movie, Turtle is the narrator. In the book, the narrator’s name is not given and gives everyone’s thoughts and not just Turtle’s. In contrast to the book, Turtle is the narrator and she only gives her opinion and not the other character’s like in the book. Also, in the book the narrator telling the story and adding his or her own thoughts to what the characters are doing and perhaps saying.

The characters that are missing in the movie are, Dr. Denton Deere, Chris’ parents, Flora Baumbach, Doug Hoo, and Jake Wexler does not play. In the book, Sydelle and Angela answer with America the Beautiful, but in the book Chris and Turtle answer with the song. The movie, in my opinion, fell behind in this part because the players in the book were different and bonded very well. Also, the players were thought to not bond and to fight but they all got along and did great things together. Also, with less characters, there are less problems for them to fix or things to find. For example, in the book, Turtle asks Doug to follow Otis and Crow, and things or problems like this make the book more
