the book because the movie shows how the Martians landed on Earth from Mars. I also like how the Martians killed the people from the heat rays. In the movie‚ it showed the community working together to take down the Martians. My favorite part of the movie was when the soldiers were fighting off the Martians. The book and the movie are similar because‚ at the beginning of the book and the movie‚ the Martians fall from Mars. In the book and the movie‚ the cylinder landed in a field. In the book and

Have you ever looked at a old book or even a movie and thought it would be bad to read because the setting? Or that the book or movie would have to much facts and a very weird way of telling the real story. I sometimes do think this but thats before I knew the difference. To me a modern setting does make the book more fun to read‚ but not more interesting than the original stories. However did you think the modern setting had the main important .. big details of what’s the story is about well it

The story of Macbeth is a playwright written by William Shakespeare in 1606 in Varies locations in Scotland and briefly England. The tone of this book is very dark and ominous‚ back then they went by the saying “ Blood must have Blood” this says problems must be resolved by war you kill we have to kill‚ there was never peace.
