Differences In Flowers For Algernon
In the movie flowers for Algernon there are differences like Charlie and Miss Kinnian fall in love. “In the movie Charlie loved Miss Kinnian he told her that but, he couldn’t stay with her because he would soon forget how he felt so he had to go.” This is very weird because if he loved her he would stay with her. But,it makes sense because he would just soon forget. Also in the movie Charlie beat Algernon 1 time and in the book he beat him 8 times. This happened probably to make the movie shorter,but it still should of happened.

In the book Flowers for Algernon there was some differences too, Charlie worked in a plastic box factory and in the movie he works in a bread factory. I think this happened because a brad factory is than a plastic

    What Is The Difference Between All Quiet On The Western Front Movie And Book

    The differences are subtle, but they are all there. One difference between the two are the order of events. Certain scenes, such as Paul and Albert's injuries, the French girls and Paul's leave, are all done in different orders in both the movie and book. In the book, the scenes play out like this; first the boys meet the French girls, then Paul has his leave and then finally Paul and Albert get injured However, in the movie the events play out as so; The boys meet the French girls (n this particular sequence of events meeting the French girls happens first, however, in the movie that scene is shown later then in the book), then Paul and Albert get injured, and then finally Paul has his leave. This difference is very trivial as it doesn't change anything significantly, however it is a pretty striking…

    541 farenheit

    The characters in the novel and movies Fahrenheit 451 are different in multiple ways from their attitudes, names or the characters from the book aren’t even in the movie. Mildred Guy Montag’s wife in the novel was not the same person in the movie, in the movie her name was Linda. Linda’s attitude was the same but changing the name of a character is pointless. In the book Linda and Clarisse are not the same in anyway, in the movie they are similar even down to the actor who plays their parts. But the women are still dramatically different in their belief systems. Throughout the movie Montag is searching to the similarities between the two women. Clarisse die in the novel and in the movie live and is his teacher in away. She became Faber who was a character in the novel but, was left out of the movie. The director left out a main character that’s a sign that the author’s message will be ruined. In the movie Clarisse guides Montag to the Harvard Hobos or as the movie called them the book people, in the novel Faber told Montag about the book people. In the novel at the end there are no women learning the books and becoming the books. This difference could be that there is a 14 years difference between the year the novel was written and the making for the movie.…

    Comparing Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

    Another difference that I noticed is concerning Curley's wife. In the book there is a scene where Lennie, Candy and Crooks are gathered in Crooks' room. After a while, Curley's wife emerges and the atmosphere becomes unpleasant. Crooks finds the courage to stand up against her, and when he does, she verbally breaks him down. In the movie this scene never takes place, and by eliminating this incident Curley's wife's destructive nature stays unrevealed.…

    The next thing I’d notice was the young man actually walked into the old man's room. In the book he just bursts into his room and does the cruel deed to the old man. In the movie they just look at each other. But in the movie as they look at each other the young man also walks closer. This was another major thing they changed.…

    Of Mice and Men

    There isn't as many differences as there are similarities in the stories, but they are very noticeable, for example, in the book, Lennie is described as "big" and "dark around the eyes", but in the movie Lennie isn't fat and he is white so you can see his eyes clearly. To me, he looked pretty average except you can notice there is something wrong with him by the way he acted. There are many quotes in the book that aren't said in the movie. It's good to know that both stories aren't "exactly" the same. Then, if you read or watch one, you wouldn't have to read or watch the other. Unless you are supposed to be comparing or contrasting each, that's a different story!…

    The Perks of Being a Wallflower Compare and Contrast

    In addition to the book being written differently than the movie, there are many things that were left out of the movie that were in the book. One thing that was in the book but not the movie was when Charlie caught his sister Candace and her boyfriend, Ponytail Derek sleeping together. In the movie they also leave the part out when Charlie drives Candace to get an abortion. Charlie, Sam and Patrick also smoke cigarettes in the book, but they don’t in the movie. One big thing that Charlie did a lot of in the book, but almost none of in the movie was cry. In the book, Charlie cries after he and Sean get in a fight, when Sam kisses him, when he breaks up the fight between Patrick and Brad, and after the dare where…

    The Movie "Doubt" V. the Film

    There were a few changes that were made to make a smooth transition from stage to film, but there were many things that stayed the same. The plot of both versions was basically the same. The play and film centers on Father Flynn, Sister James, and Sister Aloysius. Sister Aloysius is convinced that Father Flynn has acted inappropriately around the male students at the school, and Sister James is the naïve young teacher that wants to see the best in everyone and tries her hardest to believe that the allegations are not true. The plot of both stories shows how Sister Aloysius tries to find out whether or not Father Flynn has been inappropriate with one boy in particular, Donald Muller, who also happens to be the only black student at the school.…
