Dear John; Book vs. Movie Author Nicholas Sparks added to his list of best sellers with the novel Dear John. Dear John is a love story‚ love stories make big money in movie form‚ so the novels are popular to make into a movie. Books and movies are two forms of entertainment that are closely related and we overlook the differences among them. There are many similarities between the two‚ but there are also major differences.

Hamlet: Coward Many people proclaim Hamlet a hero‚ but I believe he stands as a coward who questions himself. Hamlet’s intellectual ability is superior to others‚ but there lies his weakness. His thinking in certain situations and personal needs characterize Hamlet as a coward of mind‚ not action. Hamlet is a coward because he is unable to make decisions. To begin with‚ Hamlet’s first instance of showing a cowardly mindset is when he questions himself in his “Oh what a peasant slave am I” soliloquy

Movie Theaters vs. Movies At Home Movie theaters can be a fun thing to do with friends and family‚ but staying home and watching a movie can be just as great.

First of all‚ the financial aspects of going out to the movies are the most appalling factor when you consider the facts. On average‚ a person will go the

adaptation of Hamlet is a great way to enjoy the popular Shakespeare play. While I found the film to be quite lengthy‚ I thoroughly enjoyed seeing a film version of the story I only knew a little bit about from reading an excerpt of Hamlet in high school. I think Kenneth Branagh did an excellent job in making the screen play into a movie. Everything in every scene couldn’t have been done more perfectly. Better yet is the cast‚ with actors like Kenneth Branagh himself‚ as Hamlet‚ Kate Winslet as

Macbeth and Hamlet‚ are considered among the best theatrical works of all time. Macbeth is the story of an ambitious man tempted with the idea of acquiring a position of great power and‚ as a result‚ he stops at no moral boundary to attain it.

The Great Gatsby movie vs. book In his movie there were many details that remained loyal to the book. There were some others that were changed slightly‚ either for filming reasons or for careless from the director. Surprisingly‚ there were some facts that were left out‚ that in my opinion were critical for the story and the symbolism on it. The movie showed many things as they are described in the book‚ and also as many people imagined them. The golden toilette set‚ the medals and Daisy’s picture

Hamlet- The Garden Motif and Fate vs. Man Of Hamlet’s many theories and subjects‚ perhaps one of the most prevailing ideas in William Shakespeare’s most riveting play is in fact the “garden” motif. Shakespeare illustrates throughout his writing the idea of the garden which presumably represents Hamlet’s own paradise‚ and the rotting destruction of the garden is meant to vividly depict the unavoidable hell Hamlet endures throughout the plot. By utilizing this imagery and symbolism‚ William Shakespeare

Zach Mienheartt Block C. Freak the Mighty Book vs. Movie Kevin/freak has a rare dwarfism disorder in Freak the Mighty. Freak the Mighty is about 2 boys‚ Max and Kevin/Freak‚ that do everything together. Freak the Mighty‚ the book and movie have many similarities and differences such as the theme and setting.
