Treasure Island Compare And Contrast
Treasure Island is a novel written in the era of the eighteenth century. The technology was basically just being started. Back then if you wanted to sail a ship, it was wooden. In this time period pirates were very common. Robert Louis Stevenson was right on point. Treasure Planet is a Disney movie that is based on the original novel of Treasure Island. Naturally, Disney put a twist on it, instead of the characters being humans, they were animals or cyborgs. The setting was completely different, instead of being on land or water like Treasure Island, they were in outer space. The plot was majorly different. In Treasure Island there is a lot of violence, gore, and drunkenness, but since Disney produced Treasure Planet, they did a good job of keeping those scenes out of the movie. Finally, the theme differs in really just one way. It differs because, Treasure Island stresses the dangers of alcohol. Yet, again since Disney produces children's movies they leave that out of the movie. The theme is still is in harmony with the idea of the two main characters Jim Hawkins, …show more content…

    The most important thing that makes the stories different is the setting and the plot. Both stories may have a similar theme but the setting and plot it what separates them. For example, one story takes place in a cage and the other story takes place in a school. The climax in each story is different from each other. For example, in the story “from Boy’s Life” the student was so desperate to leave the class when the teacher told the class to leave in a single line, which makes the reader wonder what happens…

    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…

    A substantial amount of movies are based off of books. Rarely, the movies prove themselves better than their book counterparts, and sometimes the movie falls short of the mark. O Brother Where Art Thou? is unusual because it tends to stay on track with the Odyssey. Due to the fact that O Brother Where Art Thou? takes place in 1930’s Mississippi, plot elements obviously do not correlate directly, but other than that elements tend to be similar. Overall, The Odyssey and O Brother Where Art Thou? share similar major characters (with a few differences), and even with the changed setting, the plot events are similar as well.…

There were minute differences between the novels, but for the most part the books were very similar. Through analyzing themes, motifs and symbols within these novels, one cannot help but recognize the cords that unite humankind and defy all boundaries.…
