Yann Martel's Life Of Pi: Book Vs. Movie

Later in the book, Pi explains another story to the Japanese because they would not believe his story, which shows that temporal people views the world in a monotonous way and they choose to live a life of uncertainty and doubt, without any tale to guide them.

Even though the story with the animals does not seem accurate, but it gives Pi hope in desperate times. The choice, one of the reasons Life of Pi appeals to secular readers; it gives "the desire to believe rather that the belief itself(Ishmael).” When Pi reaches the depths of his despair, the only thing he could do was to escape the physical reality of hopeless endurance on the lifeboat, and so he soars into the realm of imagination.

Other themes such as many men being dishonest, unfaithful, and cowardly are lost during the transition from the paper and pen to the big screen. Instead the movie stereotypes men as being superior, loyal, and heroic. While women are portrayed as being fragile, dependent, and weak. The movie also adds another theme which is not present in the novel which is when one steals or takes what is not his, there are consequences one must face. As was evident when Herakles took something which was not his and was punished by losing his dear lover

Although the book and movie versions of the Lord of the Flies have both similarities and differences, I prefered the book over the movie because William Golding’s them The foremost similarity between the novel and the movie adaptation was themes and messages that readers were intended to learn. In other words, the movie continued using the author 's subtle way of reinforcing his themes. For example, near the beginning of the novel the main protagonist of the novel, Ralph, called a meeting by using a conch shell as a horn.

At the end, the gun of the soldier he fought against in battle, because the instrument he used to kill himself, quite ironic. To sum it up, J.D Salinger’s A Perfect Day for Bananafish, is a secretly a story about war. Salinger had experienced war first hand, and when he returned home he wrote about it, thought these innocent little stories.

The Cathedral short story and the film went two different routes when telling the story. In the reading, I felt as if the husband was being a jerk, jealous, and ignorant about the blind man and the relationship between his wife and the blind man.

On the other hand, in the beginning of the film the husband seems a little bothered that the blind man was coming over and spending the night.

Edward tells his stories in an exaggerated way. Edward likes to embellish his stories instead of strictly sticking to the facts. These “tall tales” are told in his perspective of how he feels he is living through them. Edward begins to explain, “With these two hands, I reached in and snatched that fish out of the river. I looked him straight in the eye…” and later Will is clarifying to his wife, Josephine the truth about his father 's stories, “It doesn’t always make sense, and most of it never happened”.
