    Describe The Differences Between Book And The Movie Hannah

    There isn't really many comparing factors between the book and the movie but some are that Hannah opens the door to let in the prophet Elijah in both the book and the movie. Hannah tells stories to the women and children in her barrack in both the book and the movie and I think that those stories is probably what kept most of them alive throughout the movie. Rivka survives in both the book and the movie because Hannah wanted her to get out so she took her place to go into the gas chambers. Rivka later gets out of the amps and changes her name to Eva like she said she would in the movie to Hannah. Rivka later becomes Hannah's aunt Eva in both the book and the movie. Hannah goes to die for rivka in both the book and the movie. The contrast…

    The Cay Book Vs Movie

    “Like silent, hungry sharks that swim in the darkness of the sea, the German submarines arrived in the middle of the night” The movie never had this line in it. The movie starts on the boat and in the book it starts on the island where this line is. That's why I like the book better than the movie in The Cay by Theodore Taylor. When on the raft for the movie it skips a part of the story which makes Phillip and Timothy closer the part of the book when Phillip falls into the water and gets chased by sharks. The movie has much less detail. As well as this also, it doesn’t say that Philip was scared on the island before, or that by climbing the palm tree Phillip completes Timothy's survival course.…

    Analytic Essay of The Most Dangerous game by Richard Connell

    In "The Most Dangerous Game" Richard Connell starts off the story with Whitney and Rainsford in a boat going to hunt jaguar. As they talk Whitney mentions that hunting is only a good sport for the hunters. Rainsford says that nobody cares what the jaguar feels. There, the author has made an ironic plot twist for later. Then they talk about an island nearby, Ship-Trap Island. This is an introduction the author makes to the island where he will get Rainsford in the book. Rainsford later gets hunted by Zaroff who also thinks in that manner (with a couple of twists). Later when Rainsford is on the deck at night he hears gunshots, and then when he inspects further, he falls off the yacht. Richard Connell is now setting Rainsford up so he can get to the island where the evil General Zaroff dwells. As Rainsford yells out to the yacht in the water he suddenly gets calm. He starts swimming toward Ship-Trap Island in a set pace. The author now makes it clear to the reader that the author plans to get Rainsford to find out what is at the bottom of this dreaded island. When he is swimming he continues hearing gunshots and finally he hits the Island and collapses in the sand.…

    Comparison of “the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe” Book to Movie

    What I love about the The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (TLWW) is its truly beautiful and enchanting story containing a Christian allegory. The movie falters in those moments where it robs the story of its purity and truth. As a child reading the story, or having it read to you, you are taken from an ordinary world into an extraordinary one. As Lewis wrote in his essay “On Three Ways of Writing for Children” the reader of a story like TLWW “does not despise real woods because he has read of enchanted woods: the reading makes all real woods a little enchanted.”…

The differences that stood out to me the most were that the movie is told in Turtle’s point of view, there are less characters in the movie, and the characters’ personalities were different. The story can be changed by all of these, and these are the reasons why. The first difference I will talk about is the point of view in the movie and the book.…
