As I stated before‚ there are many differences between the book and the movie. For example‚ in the book‚ there is a character named David Gamut. This character follows his profession

    different from Samuel Spade of “The Maltese Falcon” motion picture. The book was written a good decade before that version of the movie was produced and in a much more casual time period. The novel focuses on making Sam out to be a more complex character than the movie does. He is not just “the good guy” as he is portrayed more so in the movie. The time period may have had a lot to do with the differences between the 1941 movie and the book‚ published in 1929. The first thing to consider is that the late

    Do you prefer reading or watching the book Wonder? I would rather watch because‚ I am a visual learner. The movie has a better idea of expressing how the characters feel such as Auggie‚ Jack‚ Julian‚ and Summer. In my opinion‚ the movie has more creativity other than the book‚ where it adds non-sense. The movie shows us a visual picture of Auggie’s life and how hard it was for him. The book tells us the events that happen but‚ doesn’t show us. In the movie Wonder‚ Auggie and Jack got into a fight

    In the birds the book and movie are really different. To me i really preferred the movie over the book but the both seemed pretty pointless and pretty stupid because like in the movie the characters have different names. In the movie there was also a lot of really bad actors. Whereas in the book you didn’t have to worry about bad actors you just would read. In the movie in the beginning the girl started off in a bird shop pretending to work there and so when a man walked in pretending to buy some
