Davie Movie Vs Book
In the book, Davie fell overboard. Oh, wait, in the movie, the ship blew up. Never mind the fact that the movie was much more violent, it was completely derailed of the plot! Yes, many of the people out there like guns and bombs, but the book had many more twists and turns then the movie. I will show you one comparison I noticed. In the movie, Davie’s dad died from a tree falling on him. In the book Davie’s dad was shot. Also, the book itself didn’t start with Davie’s dad dying , it started with Davie’s dad being dead, and Mr.Campbell telling him that he belonged to the House of Shaws. Also a misfortune for the movie watchers, the trip only took 2 miles, and in the book, it took him 2 days. Therefore, there was much more events in the beginning of the book.

Since the two are very different, I will tell you 3 differences and similarities that I noticed. One difference was Mr. Shuan, an important character, wasn’t even in the movie! He had killed Ransom and that helped Davie escape. Another difference is that Ransom didn’t die in the movie, or at least not the original way. We saw him on the boat before it blew up in the movie, in the book he died in the hull. My last difference is that The Long Mile Gang didn’t exist in the book. Some evidence that proves the flick wasn’t crazy wrong were (1) Alan did wear a blue coat …show more content…
I think, hopefully along with you, the reader that books are greater than the movie, especially in this case. For some extra details, here are some good mentions. The book, produced in 1886, had more evidence that Alan had committed the Appin Murder than the movie! Also, the plot and timing of character scenes were off. One example was when Davie asked the woman in the book where the House of Shaws was, in the movie it was a man! Also, in the book, the woman had hatred for the House of Shaws, when in the movie he had no hatred that would of made the movie slightly more

    Essay On Ender's Game Movie Vs Book

    One of the things that are different are that it talks about Bernard building his gang in battle school. Another example is that it introduces Bean when dragon army was rebooted in the book, but in the movie, Bean was introduced in the beginning. The final example is that in the movie, Ender found the queen after the battle near the base, in the book Ender finds the queen at the bugger planet that they were colonizing after a few years. This is how the book and the movie is very different from each other.…

    Blind Side

    Another noticeable change in the movie verses the book was the emphasis on the different characters. The main character was indisputably Michael Oher in both the book and the movie. However, the movie put a strong emphasis on Leigh Anne Touhy (who was played by Sandra Bullock) and presented her as the second most major character aside from Michael. The book, on the other hand, had a lot more facts about Sean that the movie never presented. Leigh Anne was a key player in both, but in the movie, she seemed to be so much more of a main character that the other characters that stood out in the book did not do so in the movie. The major example of that was Sean Touhy who seemed to be the first one to invest in Michael in the book unlike the movie where he played a more quiet and uninvolved role in Michael's life. There were other subtle differences that could be noticed, like having the necessary GPA for an NCAA scholarship be 2.5 (movie) instead of 2.56 (book) which led to another problem to work around, or having Michael's fight be with the gang members in his old neighborhood (movie) instead of with one of his teammates at Ole Miss (book). Overall, however, the movie attempted to portray an accurate account of the book which made it enjoyable to read and watch both.…

    The movie also focuses on the blood that is spread to receive a diamond. The main cause of war in Sierra Leone. The book barely sheds light on the root of the war. The upside of this is the viewer can comprehend the challenges and mentality of the character. The advantage of this is that the viewer can understand the difficulties and mindset of the character. The drawback is it just spotlights on the individual contemplations instead of others leaving space for sentiments.…

    Of Mice and Men

    There isn't as many differences as there are similarities in the stories, but they are very noticeable, for example, in the book, Lennie is described as "big" and "dark around the eyes", but in the movie Lennie isn't fat and he is white so you can see his eyes clearly. To me, he looked pretty average except you can notice there is something wrong with him by the way he acted. There are many quotes in the book that aren't said in the movie. It's good to know that both stories aren't "exactly" the same. Then, if you read or watch one, you wouldn't have to read or watch the other. Unless you are supposed to be comparing or contrasting each, that's a different story!…

    A River Runs Through It Essay

    One thing in particular that the book does much better is making use of complex metaphors and themes, such as: the river for life, and oneness with nature, that string themselves together as you turn each page of the book, while in the movie the metaphors and symbolism are represented in a much different way through picture. In the book, both themes regarding the river are very vivid and clear, as they use strong imagery of nature to draw pictures in the minds of the readers. In the movie both themes are represented and referred to much less because of the lack of narration.…

    The Outsiders

    In the movie you could actually see what Tulsa, OK looked like because in the book you could picture a Slump, trailer, bad neighbor hood. But the house really wasn’t in as bad as shape as I thought it would be. The difference between the people was because you could see the difference on the street. Like who they were, how old, if they were a Greaser or a Soc. Although some people didn’t really show who they were. But in the book, you can see it, but not like picture it as well. It the movie makes it bolder because you see, hear, and almost feel what’s going on. You can actually see the people doing these things, on the other hand, in the book you can read it, but not feel it. You can also see their surroundings. What’s behind the scenes. Where they’re at, and wherever they’re at, you can tell which side of town. Both the book and the movie had great descriptions on what their side was like, Socs had it all, and Greasers had nothing. Like maybe the Greasers had old cars and the Socs had brand new cars.…

    As proved, the movie doesn’t deviate from the novel too much, but it does in a way that distracts you from being able to follow the movie as well if you’ve already read the book.

    Kidnapped Compare And Contrast Essay

    They obtained help, although it was too late and Alexander passed away the day after. That is most certainly not what occurred in the book, (as mentioned before), and the situation created in the novel is more interesting and gives more opportunity for collision later in the story. Furthermore another example is in the book, Davie is on the Covenant, and his companion Ransome is unfortunately killed after he provided Mr. Shuan with a dirty pannikin cup. In the movie, however, Ransome was almost cast overboard simply for the reason that, he gave Davie some bread, again those are completely different. Finally the last example is, in the book when he fell off the Covenant, (since it crashed into the Torran Rocks), he was stranded on an island and was compelled to survive alone for days. In the movie when Davie was stuck on the island, the Covenant exploded and he met a lady who would weave. Those are just three of the many differences between the hard copy and the movie. Now on the other hand, although there are multiple differences between the two which show how superior the book is to the movie, there are some key similarities that enhance both of them. For example,…

    A long time has passed since the idea that “The book is better than the movie” was accepted without question. There are almost no exceptions. Some key reasons why the film version of a book is so lacking relates to, one, the lack of depth of the story, two time constraints and, three, the inability for producers to include the full content of a story.…

    Book vs movie

    Even though there are similarities; reading books and watching movies give details through different ways. By reading the books, the reader has to open his mind for imaginations. Books only show words, and the images of the story are imagined in the brain. On the other hand, movies give a particular picture of the story to the audiences, and the audiences get details through visual and hearing. The audiences can only get what is shown in the movies but can’t think outside the box for more creative thinking. The readers can have different feedbacks to the story, but the audiences can only agree with the movies; therefore, reading books and watching movies make the readers or audiences response differently.…
