A Separate Peace comparison
The movie started in a flashback to the fake trial. The boys were all playing a game after Gene found his room. Finny came up with all the rules in both the book and the movie. Leper came up with the name of Blitzball in the movie, but in the book Finny did. After Finny’s accident when Gene was in visiting him, the doc came in and cut the visit short in the book and the movie. The doctor also sends Finny home in both meaning the Summer Session is almost over anyways.
On the way back to Devon for the fall semester, Gene stopped and seen Finny at his house in both the movie and book. The boys get into an argument about the accident when Gene tries to tell Finny that he shook the branch. This happens in both the movie and the book. When Gene got back to Devon and Finny was ready to come back he called Gene. Finny called to ask if he had a roommate and how sports were going. Gene said that he didnt have another roommate and didnt go out for sports. This happened in both. Leper went and picked apples in the book and the movie. Finny also trained Gene for the winter Olympics. Finny did this in both the move and the book. I feel all these changes stayed the same because they were important key facts. Yes I agree with the choices of leaving these the same.
When Gene and Finny go to the tree one of the times Gene slips and Finny saves him. This happens only in the movie. The book did not say anything about a rope being on the tree. In the movie when Gene shakes the limb of the tree causing Finny to fall, there was no one at the tree. In the book Leper and Brinker were standing there. The movie also started in a flashback to the trial, whereas in the book it started off as him being in his current time. The book was told in first person and the movie was narrated in third person. I felt the book brought you closer to what Gene was thinking. Another difference would be Gene going and talking to Leper. In the book Leper goes home and in the movie he goes to the woods of
