and the book. The movie had very little similarities to the book. Most of the differences had a big influence on the story and completely changed it. One of the major changes in the movie was that Faber wasn’t in it. Faber played a very important role in Montag’s life. He helped Montag with his development and made him understand books more. He helped make Montag think for himself. Clarisse took over the role of Faber in the movie‚ but she didn’t help him as much as Faber did in the book. Faber also

Beowulf Society The earliest known manuscript of Beowulf is thought to have been written in the tenth century‚ however‚ the poem had most likely been told as an oral tradition for centuries before that. In fact‚ the poem’s events date back to the sixth century. However‚ because there is only one manuscript of Beowulf still in tact very little is known about the poem or its author. The poem does‚ however‚ give us great insight into the culture of the people who composed and told this epic tale. Because

The story of Beowulf is full of vigor and excitement; it is also composed of many different elements especially when talking about the characters and their psychological complexity. When talking about the story of Beowulf we need to recall that it was written around 1000 A.D. therefore‚ we would assume that the characters are not fully developed or that they cannot compare in complexity to the characters of today’s novels. However‚ I find this untrue‚ the characters in Beowulf are more dynamic and

Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird follows the book very well. Compared to the amount of similarities‚ the differences are almost negligible. When reading To Kill a Mockingbird‚ one can be fascinated by the differences and similarities between the movie and the book in the portrayal of characters‚ the layout of Maycomb‚ and the character outcomes. For me‚ the characters were just as I imagined them. For example‚ Dill fits his description perfectly. The book describes him as “small for his age”

Beowulf Comparison I believe that the poem is a better definition of a true epic. In the poem‚ Beowulf does more heroic like things‚ when he rips Grendels arm off with his bare hands‚ with only using his pure strength‚ but in the movie Beowulf wraps a chain around Grendels arm‚ and uses the door of the Mead Hall to repeatedly smash his arm in the door until he rips the arm off completely. In the poem‚ Beowulf always tries to make himself better known‚ he goes back to his kingdom to tell all of

Beowulf Reaction Paper The animation used for the movie‚ Beowulf was simply superb. I thought the characters were human but after a while‚ I noticed that they move quite differently so I learned that it was actually a motion captured film‚ like the ones used in Polar Express and Monster House. The effects were good‚ and the characters really looked like the actors who played them. It’s amazing what technology can do these days. As for the story‚ I think some scenes are really violent and brutal
