Bob Marley's A Christmas Carol

I favored the DVD over the written version of A Christmas Carol. Short stories and novels are not as interesting in my opinion. The book had a much darker tone throughout it. The movie had a slightly more lighthearted tone, with Scrooge laughing more often. There are multiple differences between the film and book, A Christmas Carol. Scrooge does not meet Tim on the street waiting for his father. The book does not tell a part about just Tim and his father. Marley’s ghost does not say his name repeatedly to Scrooge. When Ebenezer looks out his window to see where the ghost of Marley went there are phantoms in the air. The Ghost of Christmas Past is a male. Scrooge does not dance with a woman. He wakes up on his bed instead of floor. The conversation between Ebenezer and his nephew, Fred, is short. The Ghost of Christmas Future does not make a screeching sound.
There are also many comparisons between between the film and book.
Marley has passed away. It starts with Scrooge in his counting house. He talks with his nephew about Christmas and how not delightful it is. When arriving to his home, Ebenezer sees Marley’s face as the knocker on his front door. Chains rattle downstairs and bells ring around him. The ghost of Marley comes into his room and talks to him. Scrooge woke up in complete darkness. People in the memories cannot hear, nor see Ebenezer. His little sister arrives to take him home with their father. Ebenezer screams at the spirit telling them that he does not want to see the memories anymore. Belle has children and a husband, Bob Cratchit. Two children stand under the Ghost of Christmas Present’s robe. A hooded figure walks toward Ebenezer. Bob was late to work. In return of Bob being late, Scrooge raises Bob’s
salary. Along with normal differences, there are also technical differences. The lighting in the film makes the scene darker or lighter to fit with the mood and time of day. The music gives an ominous or happy feeling to what is currently happening. Instead of visualizing the scenes in our heads while reading a book, a movie shows what everything looks like without having to make assumptions. Novels help us get engrossed in what we are reading and sometimes make it seem like we’re there. Books are transportable and can be read anywhere unlike movies that require a television and DVD player. I favored the DVD over the written version of A Christmas Carol. The picture and e-book have many differences. They also have numerous comparisons. Along with them are technical differences. Short stories and novels are not as interesting in my opinion.
