Hatchet does a better job explaining because it is in order and the movie is not in order. For example, in the movie Brian finds the cave in the middle of the movie and in the book he finds the cave in the beginning of the book. Also, what I liked about the book is it makes sense. In Hatchet it has less special effects and in the movie it has a lot of special effects. In the movie it has a lot of violent parts in it but in the book it only has like one violent effect. In “A Cry In The Wild”it looks like his mom just gives him the hatchet and puts him on a plane to go see his dad. All in all, the novel has better foreshadowing and imagery because it never gives away any of the “scary” parts.
`Hatchet I think that the Hatchet book is more detailed than the movie A Cry In The Wild, because I can imagine things happening in my head and because I can understand what is happening. An example is when the plane crashed into the l-shaped lake. I can image that the engine broke down and then the plane fell like a roller coaster going down and landed in a lake with a big splash or boom. I can also imagine the porcupine coming into the shelter where Brian was sleeping and Brian trying to fight it off, then the quills getting shot into his leg.
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 plot of Hatchet centres on a young middle class child who manages to survive in the forest after a plane accident. His capacity to adapt to his newfound seclusion and use the environment around him to his advantage are essential for his survival. A privileged teen kid travels on a massive living city in the science fiction book Worldshaker, on the other hand. The protagonist is able to face a new social standard as well as his own beliefs through his struggles and discoveries in a culture that is drastically different from the ones he has earlier considered. In the end, both of these works act as effective examples of a lesson about respecting people for who they are and accepting their
All alone, stranded in a forest, lost with nothing to help him survive, no one to come to his aid… Only Brian can help himself, and staying motivated is the only thing that can keep him alive. Hatchet, a wilderness adventure book written by Gary Paulsen, tells about a boy, Brian Robeson, that is left stranded in the Canadian wilderness. After his plane crashes, Brian is abandoned, shocked, and alone. Over the course of fifty-four long days, the obstacles that Brian must overcome, and the challenges that he faces change him both physically and mentally. One theme of Hatchet is to stay motivated.
First of all, I think this because the movie showed more which made me comprehend it more. The setting in the movie made me comprehend it more which in the movie I didn’t see the setting that well. Another reason why I think the movies made me comprehend it more is because I got to visually see where the characters were living and telling us their story.
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.
If they were to be rated on a scale of 1-10, the book would be about a 7.5 and the movie maybe a 5.5. The movie was not as intriguing as the book. The book catches ones attention by specifying what goes on very clearly and getting straight to the point, not providing any unnecessary information. Let´s just make this short, simple, and to the point, if you watched the movie you would probably not want to read the book since it did not catch enough of ones attention to be interested. On the other hand, if you read the book first and afterwards watch the movie you probably will not appreciate the movie as much as you did the
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.
Many people, if asked what they would prefer, would prefer to read the book instead of watching the movie. It could be because the movie will always leave some parts from the story out. It seems like directors of the movie always leave out parts from the book, only incorporating the important parts from the story. Some also say that they prefer to leave the descriptions of things in the book up to their imagination. Also, when you are reading the book, you get to read the main characters point of view on things.
An important event in Hatchet was when he rebuilt his shelter after the tornado. Brian had been in the forest for about 2 months and he wants to live and survive to get home and see his family. He learned that he could survive and get out of the forest and that there is a reason for survival. Brian's had been caught in a tornado and survived. He rebuilds his shelter so it would keep out stronger animals.
The movie was much more efficient for me because I am a slow reader and I do not do well with comprehending reading. The movie gave me a quick way of watching and understanding what was going on. It was much faster for me than reading the book. Although the book gave a good accurate presentation, the movie gave me a visual and factual presentation.
Hatchet, the book, did a better job at telling the story than “A Cry in the Wild”. In my opinion, Hatchet did a better job at telling the story because it gives you more details. In Hatchet they use a lot of imagery. You can actually imagine what they are talking about without actually seeing it. In both, Hatchet and “A Cry in the Wild” they use foreshadowing.
“Hatchet” does a better job of telling the story, than “A cry in the wilds” . I believe this because it show’s more imagery and a better understanding of foreshadowing, rather than just showing us a picture. For example, imagery in the book, Brian described the kiss of his mother and the secret kissing. According to the text, the book showed imagery by saying , “he widened the hole with his finger and looked inside. Just an egg.
In the end I found the film to be easier to understand vs the book as it was an easier and more straight forward plot line whereas in the book it seemed to jump around leading to constant flipping between stories and pages to get a better
I enjoyed the movie better than the book. It included just the right amount of action scenes, description words, and details from the story. The story was amazing but I like seeing things more than reading them. I usually like the movies better than the book.
