“The dominant spirit‚ however‚ that haunts this enchanted region‚ and seems to be commander-in-chief of all the powers of the air‚ is the apparition of a figure on horseback without a head.” Although the movie Sleepy Hollow is based upon the book The Legend of Sleepy Hollow‚ there are also distinctions which allow each to tell their own tale. Washington Irving’s short story inspired Tim Burton’s film but did not limit it. The foundations of the two are much the same but their story lines unfold diversely

Finch in the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. To Kill a Mockingbird is filled with lessons that a reader can take and apply to their own everyday lives. It is a very well written book with the right amount of excitement‚ mystery‚ and learning experiences in the plot. Racism is a huge factor in the storyline‚ and all of the experiences the family has with racism helps the reader see past the mindset of thinking that way. One critic of the book said that since there is a movie‚ students will

Even considering the complicated format of the book‚ David Fincher managed to almost perfectly illustrate the novel Fight Club‚ by Chuck Palahniuk‚ in his movie of the same name. Although tempting to compare a book and its film counterpart on even grounds‚ as a substitute of one another‚ the tools used to create each one differ greatly and thus should be evaluated on a thematic level. While the reading audience has the chance to reread‚ and absorb the themes in layers‚ the other audience is seeing

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

later‚ the story is relevant making it “coming of age.” Personally‚ this book has no connection to my life. I have not encountered post traumatic stress from demise. In general‚ reading for the past five years hasn’t appeased me. However‚ “The Catcher in the Rye” engages and builds on suspense of events attracting me to finish it. A novel with mighty suspense is fascinating‚ but it wouldn’t create an intriguing movie. Narration happened in an immensely descriptive style creating an imaginative

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. The script which is based on Steinbeck’s book adopted a
