    On the other hand, some of the differences between the book and the movie are the followings: the Golden Carp was left out compared to the written literature. In the book, the Golden Carp was God-like to Antonio where he was constantly going back and forth between the beliefs of God and the ways of the Golden Carp. When Antonio sees the Golden Carp for the first time, he starts to question his own religion. However, in the movie, there was no recognizable alternative religion that forced Antonio to question his religion. Also, the second spell cast on the Tellez family ranch was omitted from the movie. In the book, Mr. Tellez goes to Gabriel’s house to ask for help from Ultima to lift up the curse. Another, difference in the movie is the further development of Narciso’s character.

    Symbolism In The City Of Ember

    The darkness within and around The City of Ember depicts an incomprehensible image and setting of despair. From the opening “In the City of Ember, the sky is always dark… When the lights were off as they were between the hours of nine at night and six in the morning, the city was so dark that people might as well have been wearing blindfolds,” (4). This immense lackluster environment is due to the ancient generator which just isn’t able to produce anymore, coupled with the depletion of supplies. This demonstrates that Ember’s situation is bleak forcibly plummeting quickly into the abyss. Initially, it wasn’t this way; the air was clean, the light bright and plentiful, supplies were abundant. Lina and Doon must overcome their gripping fear…

    Movie Comparison: Book Vs Movie

    There are some movies that are adapted from the novel such as Harry Potter, Da Vinci Code, Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games and Lagenda Budak Setan. What are the differences between watching a movie and reading a novel? There are some contrasts between the two actions. One of the differences is by watching a movie, you just need to sit and relax. It is very easy since you only need to watch it and understands it. Furthermore, you can watch the movie while doing something else such as eating or exercising. You do not really have to focus like to imagine how the atmosphere is in the movie at that time or how a person is walking down the streets. Lastly, you can avoid disbelief since it is a multi-sensory experience. On the other hand, by reading…
