The Movie or the Book? Nicholas Sparks has written multiple novels that have evolved into movies‚ such as The Notebook‚ The Last Song‚ Dear John‚ Message in a Bottle‚ and A Walk to Remember. The movies previously mentioned are as equally good as the novels except for Dear John. To me‚ Dear John is one of the best books written by Nicholas Sparks‚ yet the movie is the worst. The plot is excellent‚ but it is poorly portrayed in the movie. Several literary elements are found in both the movie and the

He said‚ this critical distance comes from the fact that literature has its own ‘formal laws’. The first law is the ‘procedure and techniques’ which in modern art ‘dissolve the subject matter and reorganize it’ (1977:153). Second

The film and the play were both very good but the film helps me understand the play better. Some of the differences between the play and film are the acting in this movie made the play not very interesting and at times the film was comical when the play was serious. The direction of the film did not deviate far from the original text. The characterization seems to be different from play to film with certain characters

The movie “The Grapes of Wrath” I watched recently is the classic adaptation of John Steinbeck’s novel written and published in 1939 only one year before the movie was released. When the movie production was approved the director John Ford and his crew were able to accomplish a major task and finish the project without getting involved in the conflict with labor unions what was very important since many members of the crew belonged to them.
