THE COMPARISON AND CONTRAST ESSAY THE BOOK AND THE MOVIE Two weeks ago I finished reading the book “The Firm” by John Grisham. It was really interesting for me to read this story because of the unpredictable plot and the bright characters. At that moment I thought that the book had a really fantastic ending. But when I saw the film about “The Firm”‚ I was surprised that the book and the movie could be so different. I was amazed with the last episodes of the movie

Comparisons: Novel to Movie After reading A Walk to Remember and then watching the movie you realize how completely different they are. Some of the times that I teared up or cried in the book are different that the movie. I think that after you watch the movie it gives you a better appreciation of the book because it is more touching than the movie.

Beowulf Comparison Beowulf is a very appealing novel as well as a film. The novel Beowulf and the film have many similarities‚ but they have more differences then anything. While watching the film I noticed many added parts that were not included in the novel. In the film‚ Grendel’s arm caught is caught on a rope as he’s trying to escape. As the men get closer he has no choice but to cut his own arm off in order to escape‚ this action is an actual animal reaction when their limb gets caught

breathtaking costumes‚ the movie Troy was a Hollywood movie that was certainly a box office hit. I am not sure if you know this but Troy was based on the Iliad an epic by Homer.
