Is there ever a time that a movie is the same as the book? Well not in The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin which the GLMS sixth grade students read and watched. But in most movies based of of books a lot of key details are left out. The students tried to figure out who murdered Sam Westing. The Westing Game movie and novel contain many similarities and differences that are worth noting.
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
A major difference is that there are some characters that were in the book that aren't in the movie like Flora Baumbach, Theo Theodorakis, and Madame Hoo. Even though the movie wasn’t as good or as exciting as the book, they were both interesting and are fun to read and listen

In the book the monster was a dragon that they had to fight. In the movie the monster was like a man, but wore animal skin clothes and had paint all over there face. They both were fought in the same way in both the
A key character in the book is Iris Lemon. The first notable difference in the movie is her name. She is called Iris Gaines rather than Lemon; however, this does not affect the story very much. In the movie her supportive, mature, and experienced characteristics do not change,
Another difference is that in the movie Darry pushed Ponyboy where as in the book he slapped him, right before Ponyboy and Johnny ran away. I think that at the rumble when Ponyboy got punched first instead of Darry was one of the biggest differences between the movie and the book. A minute contrast between the movie and the book was that in the book they explained the rules before the rumble, but in the movie they did
Firstly, in my opinion I think it has more details than the movie. The book has the same characters but in the book there is three sisters. The book had details that felt so real. It described everything, the setting and the mood.

Also the little things that caught my attention like when Sarny screamed after Nightjohn lost his finger and when Mr. Waller made Mrs. Waller slap Sarny. In the book their was less things going on, their was less descriptions, and it was not as specific. I liked the movie more than the book because in the movie you can see how the characters looked.

Also in the movie you could see the pain in a slave’s face after they were whipped or if the got their finger cut
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
The last distinction I found was the age of Cindy Lu. In the book, the say that Cindy Lu was no more than two. But in the movie, she looks older than two. Cindy Lu has a bigger role in the movie than the book. I found many differences in the book and movie.

Although there are many differences between the two, there are also many similarities. Like how in both the movie and the novel she outsmarts the
Watching a movie after reading the same book you will notice that are differences. In the secret garden book and movie there are a lot of differences.

Mary find the key in the dirt in the book in the movie she finds the key in her aunts room.
