5 People You Meet In Heaven
The title of the book we read is The 5 People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. Throughout the part of the story we read we follow Eddie through some of his journey in heaven. He meets his captain and learns new things throughout the war, including who he was shot by. Both the story and the movie show Eddie discovering his own grave, with a picture of Marguerite inside his helmet. Also, in both the movie and the book, Eddie has to climb up a tree to find the captain. The last similarity is that Eddie gets shot in the leg, to save his life. The book, unlike the movie, showed the captain as a mean man. In the movie, he didn’t seem as mean. The last difference is that Eddie asks a lot of questions in the book, in the movie he doesn't ask very

    The second comparable scene is when the Socs and Greasers line up to fight each other. They are smack-talking back and forth with each other. Two similarities between the book and the movie could be the sound of the greasers and socs talking back and forth, and it both showed or described how the greasers and socs were lining up. Two differences between the book and the movie could be instead of Paul swinging at Darry, some random Soc swung at Ponyboy, and the empty lot looked different than what I had imagined when the book described it.The book was more effective during this scene because It gave more detail about how the lot looked like and it described the feeling better than the movie…

    The book all Quiet of the Western Front demonstrates a clear similarity in regard to themes with it’s original movie. Although the reader and the audience of the movie can take different aspects of the theme due to the setting of the movie and the imagery used in the book. In fact the added scenarios in the movie had a different impact then in the book; for example, in the movie Paul was introduced as a schoolboy and through the setting of movie it demonstrated a change in it’s personality by becoming a soldier. The movie was more emotional then the novel by showing the shift in character. However the book was written in third person so that the reader could have been able to understand Paul actions through the smiles, metaphors and imagery imposed by the author. This wasn’t present in the movie although the director did include certain flashback that made the movie scenes more significant. The difference between the book and the movie, is that the director decided to connect the beginning to the end with Paul death by him drawing the bird in both, the conclusion and the introduction of the movie. In order to reach the audience in the movie they used Paul’s passion of poetry to show how in war the innocents don’t survive. The death of the soldiers in the movie were made more realistic and sentimental. These sentiments were created by the list Paul’s wrote to his commander and listed all his friends deaths, and how they were the only standing in war. In conclusion both the movie and the book were precisely constructed to reach the reader and the audience, and show how a soldier life is really lived.…

    The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom, has a lot of similarities and differences regarding the book and the movie. In the movie, Eddie’s co-workers appear talking about Eddie, whereas in the book, there was no scene or part with the co-workers. Another difference would be that unlike the book, there was other prisoners there with Eddie and his men in the movie, but there was nothing said about that in the book. The first similarity would be that in the book Eddie did keep a picture of his girlfriend in the war, as well as in the movie. Eddie’s second person in the book was also the same as the second person in the movie, his captain. And lastly, the captain said the exact same words and sentences in the movie, in the same way as…
