The Gruffalo Research Paper
Last week in ELA was pretty interesting. I read the book the Gruffalo. I really liked the book very much. But I liked the movie way better. It gives more details than the book. That is how you know that movies are better than books.
The first reason why I liked the movie over the book is because. When I read books sometimes I have to watch a movie on the book to get a better understanding. If we take a test on the book I will need the movie to visualize in my head. It will be better to know how the movie went without trying to remember what the people said in the book.
Another reason, Why is because the book didn’t say that the Gruffalo ran away from the mouse. But the movie showed us that he did. It’s important because you can state your opinions

    There are many differences between the book and movie that made both very appealing. The book and the movie portray the crash scene very differently, but both were emotional. After the car accident, Mia is wandering trying to get the attention of the firefighters, paramedics, police, and trying to find her family. “‘Dad,’ I call, but as I walk…

    The settings I imagined while reading the book were very different from what I saw in the movie. Some of the characters such as Kenny and Byron were shorter than I imagined, but Joetta was taller than I imagined her and Grandma Sands looked very different than I imagined. I thought she would be tiny, really old looking, and very mean. She wasn’t really any of those. The settings were very different such as the church and the Watsons house. I thought they would be more dated. Their house wasn’t modern, but wasn’t as old as I imagined from the context clues in the book. Overall I liked the movie better because it had more information about racism and I felt I learned more about it. I think I would like the movie even better if it had Rufus as a character, but it was still a great…

    When it comes to either watching movies or reading books the latter is, by far, the better option. In countless situations books have been made into movies but in each instance the book prevails. There are many reasons for this but the strongest factor is imagination.…

    Ever read a book, and then seen the movie? The book is usually better right? That’s most likely because of the differences. The book is more descriptive most of the time. Events in the book are missing from the movie. Or the movie adds some in.…

    essay lord of the flies

    The novel is much better than the movie. The novel is more interesting than the movie as there was a lot of description, which was used in the right places. It was easier to read the novel. The description in the novel was very detailed which was gross but it is not as bad as seeing pigs getting slaughtered visually in the movie. It was cruel and horrendous when they killed the pig so badly. Although the novel and the movie had the same plot there were many differences in-between. A few major differences seen in the movie was the shattering of the conch, the captain/pilots presence and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. The movie had many things missing in it such as personality traits and some characters. Even though they had to make the movie shorter but they have taken out some of the most important things stated in the novel. These reasons made the novel more enjoyable than the movie. In the novel the author had stated various times that there were no adults at all, therefore the boys were alone and had to fend for themselves. Though in the movie there was an adult, the captain/pilot which didn’t really make sense as it was totally different in the novel. The way the movie presents the characters, meaning the way they look and talk has basically no resemblance to the novels apart from piggy, ralph and the twins. The hunters were more vicious and cruel in the movie than the novel which was very bad to watch. In the novel it looked like that piggy and Ralph had not known each other at all and Ralph mocked Piggy a lot although in the movie they were best friends and confided in each other. There were many similarities to the novel but they were approached in a completely different aspect. The novel is much better than the movie due to all these reasons said above.…

    In my honest opinion I did not like this book and I do not recommend it. The story itself is magnificent but the fact that it is 100% based off of the movie makes it pointless to read. They could have thrown in more deadly obstacles to face and made it worth reading. Overall it had more weaknesses than strengths. Strengths I can give is that if you haven’t seen the movie, then the book could definitely give you exactly what you’ve missed out on. It is a great story and is more than your average adventure tale. Reading it really does make you feel like you were a kid again, running around and being creative.…

    After reading the book of mice and man and watch the movie I preferred reading the book than watching the movie. In the movie it didn’t explain and describe ever seen that happen in the book.Watching the movie it doesn't really show the audience what the author meant to show to his readers. Even thought the movie was good it didn't show exact description of the character and the had a different setting. There are major different between the book and movie like, characters are portrayed, scenes and Lennie’s state of mind.…

    First of all, one of the biggest reasons the movie is better than the book is because of the quality of the flashbacks. In the book the flashbacks were more set in the past and much longer, sometimes too drawn out and a little boring for how much background story there is for just one day dream, whereas in the movie the daydreams are a bit shorter but more set in the present and more affect by what he does in that moment with little background because of how short they are and how close to the present they may be. The daydreams are usually much more exciting in the movie as well, whereas in the book it's set back to just a boring doctor surgery, that was…

    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 hobbit is an adventurous mythical plot depicted from all these various events held on a wide false belief and ideas through out the whole novel different from a fairy or folk tale.

    The film and the novel were both great. The novel was better in many ways. The novel gave an immense amount of detail in the characters and the settings. The film made it simple and to the point and didn't really consider the detail that was in the novel. The film would have been better if they didn't change the most important parts of the novel.…

    Once upon a time children’s stories were written about a magical imaginary world with beautiful princesses and fairies known as “Fairytales”. Fairytales have been with us for a longtime. When I look back to my childhood, I do not remember a lot of things, but I remember the days when my grand-mother took care of me. Every evening I used to sit on her lap or by her side to listen to fairytales. She would tell me tales of the princes, princesses and stories of ghosts. In the end, from all the stories, she would try to teach me some lessons about life. At that time, all those stories seemed to be true to me. Fairy tales were an oral tradition handed down mostly by the grandmother’s, but were put into writing in the late 1600’s. The Disney versions…
