Compare And Contrast Get A Clue Book And Movie

The Westing Game book and movie, “Get a Clue” are quite similar and different from each other. In my opinion, the book was more appealing to read than to watch the movie. It was long, suspenseful and frequently changed point of view between characters. Instead, the movie was short, straight-forward, and focused mainly on Turtle Wexler. Although the plot, characters that remained, and storyline were similar. The similarities between the book and the movie were that the ten out of sixteen book characters were the same. The plot was also along the same lines and the endings matched up almost perfectly. They were spot on, but you could definitely tell they were based off each other without being told. All of these qualities made the book and
movie better, in my opinion. The differences between the two are also very easy to spot. There were a lot of major differences and a ton of smaller, insignificant differences. One of the main differences was that the point of view was mainly Turtle’s, while in the book it switched mid-chapter frequently. The movie was also more direct and straight-to-the-point. The answer was revealed almost instantly. Overall, the book was more enjoyable than the movie. It was entertaining, suspenseful and hilarious. The movie was low-quality and harder to understand because it was a whole lot more simple than the book. If maybe more characters had appeared in the movie, more people would’ve enjoyed it, and if they hadn’t changed the smaller details in the movie. In these ways, The Westing Game book is similar and different to and more appealing than the movie. The differences were a lot more distinct and easy to spot than the similarities, and a lot of them made the movie less interesting and harder to pay attention to. The similarities were all good qualities of both the movie and the book, but the book is still my favorite, and those are the reasons why the book is more appealing.
