Out of both of the movies we watched‚ the movie I found better was the American version. In the American version‚ the parts actually went in order which makes sense if you didn’t read the story. The British version of the story mixed the parts up a bit to make a flashback scene. I the American version didn’t miss any parts and was really detailed‚ the British version was a little shorter and some parts that didn’t really matter was cut off. In this American version Mary comes back from the grocery

To Kill a Mockingbird Characters Comparison Calpurnia vs. Aunt Alexandra By: Patrick Anderson In the book To Kill a Mockingbird I thought that the two characters that would be best to compare would be Calpurnia and Aunt Alexandra. I picked these two for a couple reasons. One they are both against each other‚ seeing as Aunt Alexandra wants to fire Calpurnia.

The Iliad verses Troy I n the movie it’s stated that Agamemnon brought the kings together for this war‚ which really isn’t true.

When Paris kidnapped Helen from Menelaus‚ they were bound to

At times‚ we don’t understand why things occur. In the story "The Birds" by Daphne du Maurier and The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock‚ all types of birds begin to attack the people for an unknown reason. The short story and the movie each have a different way of presenting the main idea and creating suspense. Throughout the film and short story‚ we see how the citizen’s cope with the bird attacks and what happens to the birds. In my opinion‚ I thought that the movie was more suspenseful then the short

giving the people rights to no freedom. In a lot of ways‚ today’s society is similar to the one in George Orwells book‚ just less severe. Todays society is similar with the concept of privacy‚ the way the government works‚ and its social classes. When comparing today’s society to 1984‚ the first thing that jumps out at you is the lack of privacy present in the book. In the book people

For example you have greatly reduced much of the setting of the book to almost nothing‚ you have also warped the themes of the role of order in civilisation and the nature of evil present in the book. Firstly‚ in the book‚ it takes a long time for the boys to be rescued and there are many events shown to show the time passing‚ however in your movie there is almost no evidence of a large amount of time passing‚ in fact it almost seems like

In the book Huckleberry Finn we had read an adventure of a little boy making his way down the river. Now in the movie somethings are very different from the book. They leave out some parts that were major to the book. However you can’t put everything in a movie or the movie would be too long. Here are somethings that I had noticed that were different in the movie than the book. To start off the movie skipped over talking about how the Widow Douglas and old Miss Watson was always picking on him
