Romeo and Juliet Extra Credit Madison Morris 5/14/17 Seeing the play for Romeo and Juliet expanded my understanding of the book and helped me to visualize the characters better. The play’s setting in the 20s during prohibition made the play different from the book and the acting helped explain some of the major plot points that I had a hard time understanding during our unit on Romeo and Juliet. Although the play had an almost identical script‚ some parts from the original play were removed

There are some similarities like the birds attacked the people trying to kill them all‚ and the birds did get a few people in both the movie and the book. There were many differences from the book to the movie. I was wondering why the birds went crazy and why they started attacking the people.

ENG.2 5/23/2011 The Road The Road was both a phenomenal book and film.

Though the book was enticing and unusual the movie quickly surpassed the book in my opinion. Though the movie followed the book closely‚ there were some differences such as the amount of flashbacks the father has‚ the illusion of hope

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
