    disappointed in the movie because it left out some of the main scenes. On the other hand‚ the movie is 2 hours and 9 minutes. The movie never leaves you predicting what will happen next. Nevertheless‚ our opinions are that we favored the book over the movie. Everyone in the class notices many differences between the book and the movie. Provided that the book gives detail that the movie cannot show it is a missing part in itself. Aunt Alexandra was not even mentioned in the movie. You didn’t see Scout

This is in drastic contrast to the original poem ‘Beowulf’ because in the original‚ women were not valued and they had no important role. Grendel’s mother differs

    Contrast between the Movie and Book Version of “Animal Farm” I always think the book is better than the movie‚ and Animal Farm is no exception.  One reason is that I form pictures in my mind as I read‚ and I imagine what each of the characters must look like and where they live as they live out their stories.  That’s especially true in a novel in which the primary characters are animals. Seeing it come to life in a cartoonish movie was rather difficult‚ though I did enjoy several characterizations
