Differences Between Louisa Clark And Jerusaler
Step 1:
Characters: Most important characters in the book are Louisa Clark and Will Traynor. Louisa Clark is an average girl with a spunky fashion sense, and she was hired by Will’s mother to keep Will company. Will is an adventurous guy who later in his life gets hit by a motorcycle causing him to become a quadriplegic, basically he’s paralyzed from the top of his spinal cord all the way down.
Events: The most important events to me are when Will jokes about Louisa giving him a bath, Will’s death, and the epilogue. In the book, Will attends Louisa’s birthday party. During the party, Louisa’s boyfriend, Patrick, was quite rude to Will and would do anything to show that Louisa was his, but what happened once the party ended and people were

The things I would change about the movie are the events shown, amount of lines given to characters, and the perspective the movie is filmed in. The events shown in the movie are important, but I feel like even the little scenes are important to the story. An example, Will asking Louisa to move in with him when she couldn’t handle living with her parents and her and her boyfriend broke up. In my opinion, I think it should have been shown because it shows that Will truly loves her, and show him as a nice guy, rather than portray him as selfish for taking his own life. I would also change the lines given to the characters. In the book, Will reminds me of Chandler Bing from Friends, but you didn’t really get that vibe from the movie. Here and there he may have lines where you’ll get the sarcastic charming side, but I wish they showed more of that. Lastly, I would change the perspective of the film. In my opinion, it would take things to a whole new level by not only showing what Louisa has gone through, but also what Will’s family is feeling, for crying out loud, it would be nice to see what Will was feeling during this

    In 1803, the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France. Jefferson asked Meriwether Lewis to explore the Northwest Territory. Jefferson told him to map out the area, gather natural resources, make contact with Natives (Befriend if possible), and find a waterway that went to the Pacific Ocean. Lewis recruited William Clark, to be an equal in command, and 40 men. The two leaders, both in the military (Lewis a Captain and Clark a Lieutenant) led these men through 800,000 square miles.…

    The most prominent change in characters is the personality of Virgil Tibbs. “Instead of being stretched out on the bench, he was wide awake and sitting up straight as though he were expecting something to happen. His coat was off and laid neatly beside him. He had been reading a paperback book up to the moment Sam entered...” (Pg. 15) This is almost identical to the scene where we are introduced to Virgil in the movie. However, the quick-thinking, cold and intense version to be seen later on in the movie was very surprising. The humble, clever and cool homicide investigator from the novel is much preferred. His collected manners also make it all the more enjoyable when…

    The settings I imagined while reading the book were very different from what I saw in the movie. Some of the characters such as Kenny and Byron were shorter than I imagined, but Joetta was taller than I imagined her and Grandma Sands looked very different than I imagined. I thought she would be tiny, really old looking, and very mean. She wasn’t really any of those. The settings were very different such as the church and the Watsons house. I thought they would be more dated. Their house wasn’t modern, but wasn’t as old as I imagined from the context clues in the book. Overall I liked the movie better because it had more information about racism and I felt I learned more about it. I think I would like the movie even better if it had Rufus as a character, but it was still a great…

    Lyddie in a sense is like Rosa parks because they both stood up for what is right. I feel like people should never label someone as something. I felt bad on how hard the girls had to work. I feel as if they didn't care for girls because the mills was killing them also making them sick and so on. If you could would you change any parts of the book? How did you feel when you were writing this book? Were you trying to teach people a lesson through your book? Do you think there is going to be more parts because I would like to see Lyddie and her family reunite. The way you wrote this book was mind astonishing,…

    Discovered by Spanish and French conquistadors in the 17th and 18th centuries and explored by famous pioneer/explorers Lewis and Clark in 1805, Oregon is the 33rd state to be admitted to the United States. Oregon received statehood on February 14, 1859. Lewis and Clark explored Oregon while on their journey to find the Northwest Passage. Lewis and Clark both described Oregon as a “beautiful woodland paradise”, with its diverse wildlife and flora. Oregon is located on the Pacific Coast, above California and below Washington. The location influences the mild winter climate and the rainy but warm weather. Oregon’s state tree is the Douglas Fir tree (Pseudotsuga menziesii), while their state flower is the Oregon Grape (Mahonia aquifolium). Oregon’s…

    I liked the book better than the movie because the book had more details. The movie made Mark and Bryon seem like punks. They didn’t regret any of their actions most the time. The book showed how they really felt and made them more relatable to the reader. The book made it easier to understand why they were doing what they did. Their characters were more open and enjoyable in the book. The movie made the boys all seem like jerks and the girls seem dainty or bratty. I like the book because the time period they were in. The 80s theme was great but the 60s was better for the story. The movie was good but it just didn’t do justice to the book. I love the fact that the book has the greasers and Socs. The movie didn’t really have any of the greasers in it besides Angela’s brothers. I don’t like the fact the movie didn’t have those or the hippies in it. They were an important part of the storyline. The book was just more enjoyable than the movie for…

    One area where Jefferson and Jackson can be compared similarly is in politics. Jefferson believed that eligibility for people of office should be among egalitarian citizens, or people who are not of high social status (property owners). Rather, a person who is charismatic, talented, and honest should be considered for office as a leader. Similarly, Jackson, “a man of the people”, shared this belief with Jefferson that the egalitarian point of view among citizens of the United States helped empower a democracy. Instead of being a hard-edged, uncompassionate leader who lacks regard for the opinions of the American people, a governing leader should be personable, and more importantly accepting of the views of the American people. This in turn would strengthen democracy. In other words, Jefferson and Jackson were mainly about the people and wholeheartedly believed in pushing for equality.…

    This leads onto the subject concerning the acting. Being at times monotonous and bland, it lacks the emotion and punch that the book delivered. However, I remarked that the producers added music that gives an effect of mystery and suspense (a bit repetitive). This helps bring out the suspense.…
