Kidnapped
Picture this: Two green hills, dotted with white and pink. A crystal clear blue stream running through them. The sun shining, bright and beautiful. This is Scotland, where the novel Kidnapped takes place. This novel is about a 17-year-old boy named Davie Balfour, who goes to find the House of Shaws at the wish of his late father, however, Davie’s greedy uncle wants it all for himself. After being kidnapped at his uncle’s wish and almost sold into slavery by some shipmen, Davie sets off on a journey across Scotland with help of outlaw Alan Breck to get the house of Shaws back, while surviving all of Alan’s rivals who want both him and Davie dead. They made this novel into a film, and my class watched the one that was made in 2005, and they are different from each other, with few similarities. The film appealed to me more than the novel did considering the characters and the plot.
The film and the novel are different and similar. One similarity are that when Uncle Ebenezer fails to kill Davie by leading him up a stairwell that has a deadly drop at the end, he blames it on his heart …show more content…
There are more characters, and the plot stays the same for the most part, which is excellent, since the plot was extremely interesting and did not need any changes. The novel and the movie are different, with few similarities. Usually, the novel is worse than the movie, although this duo is an exception. Take Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan for example. In the movie, they took out some extremely important parts, like how Percy met Ares, the god of war, on the beach and defeated him in a bloody battle. He even injured Ares, which is pretty much impossible, considering he is a god. So, this is something that doesn’t happen often. The film is almost never better than the novel. This duo is unique, and that is what I love about it. Overall, the novel Kidnapped is better than its partnering
