Les Mis Book Vs Movie
There are people that can be sacrificial and that may not be so much. There are also people that say that they are sacrificial, but yet there are things that they can do to be more than what they are. In the book Les Mis, by: Victor Hugo there are a couple people that are very sacrificial. They have done many things in the movie and the book that have done a great deed to people and they have helped saved lives. There are many characters in this book that I could argue about them being sacrificial. They put their lives in danger to help save others. People that sacrifice their lives are looked down and smiled at because people know that if they died they did it for a good reason. The characters that really showed that is Jean Valjean, Marius, and Eponine. They really showed how much love they had for some people in the book and the movie. The one character that stood out to me the most is Jean Valjean and how a good person he was. He would do anything for anyone in the movie as well as the book. It is amazing to know some of the things that he has done for his friends. For example, in the movie when Fantine was in that bad situation with all those people. He came to save her and those people could have done something to Jean Valjean. …show more content…
It really showed how much they did to save people that they care about or love. They would do anything for the people that they care about and it really made me think. This movie really hit me hard. It was a movie that showed how to put your life out there, who was whiling to do anything for who they cared about the most. Many of the kids or people these days are sacrificing, but they take a little to think about it before they do it and in the movie they did it without any thought. I enjoyed this book as well as the movie. I now know that when you care about someone that you should do whatever you can to keep them safe and keep them in your

    There are some movies that are adapted from the novel such as Harry Potter, Da Vinci Code, Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games and Lagenda Budak Setan. What are the differences between watching a movie and reading a novel? There are some contrasts between the two actions. One of the differences is by watching a movie, you just need to sit and relax. It is very easy since you only need to watch it and understands it. Furthermore, you can watch the movie while doing something else such as eating or exercising. You do not really have to focus like to imagine how the atmosphere is in the movie at that time or how a person is walking down the streets. Lastly, you can avoid disbelief since it is a multi-sensory experience. On the other hand, by reading…

    This book opened my mind a little to really appreciate the world as it is now. Freedom is everything, and without freedom you have nothing. Freedom was taken from these people, and followed by their lives. I thought it a disgrace that humans could do such things. As you read this book you constantly are trying to imagine what it would actually be like, but you could never really understand…

    I like the book more than the movie. Audience reaction has to be taken into consideration in a way that books don't have to. The audience, cannot, even for a moment, be confused as to who the "bad guy" is. Otherwise, you can have a teenage Scarface.…

    The Book Thief is an encouraging tale of a fictional girl named Liesel. Liesel was raised during a time of great pain and suffering: Nazi Germany. Many Jews, Gypsies, mentally and physically disabled, and others were killed over a ten year timespan. Scope magazine adapted the book and the movie to create a play. One of the characters, named Death, states, “I’m always finding humans at their best and worst. I see their ugly and their beauty, and I wonder how the same thing can be both.” True, we’re all human beings but how we picture the world and react to it is a whole different story. The extent of examples that can be found in the novel, movie, play, and even real life Nazi Germany has a very wide range including the mass murders and the “Harriet Tubman”s.…

    Personally, the book taught me a lot about how people deal with situations when under pressure, people’s need for power and how easy it really if for a war to break out and I found that in my mind I could easily link what was going on in the book, with recent events I had heard about. It also let me think about similar situations that I had been in and how my reactions compared to the characters in the book.…

    Watching the film from 1973 of “The Glass Menagerie” and reading “The Glass Menagerie” by Tennessee Williams was interesting and to compare the two was interesting. The two have some similarities and some differences. “The Glass Menagerie” plot is about a lower-middle class family living in St. Louis. Amanda and Tom argue constantly, and Laura is both physically crippled and painfully shy. Laura spends most of her time polishing her glass collection and listening to old records. Amanda strives to get Laura to break out of her shell and either attend business school, or find a young man to marry. Tom longs to quit his job working in a shoe factory to pursue the adventures he envisions from the movies he…
