    In the book of Romeo and Juliet you picture what the characters will look like. The movie shows their point of view of the characters. In the movie it shows the Montagues having a surfers characteristics. They wore a lot of beach shirts with palm trees on them. As we were reading the book I pictured them not as fancy as the Capulets but more casual type of clothing.

    There is quite a few differences between the book and movie The Outsiders. The book is written by S.E. Hinton. We have been reading the outsiders and we were wondering which was better the movie or the book. The book and movie are both easy to relate to because Ponyboy is our age and most of the characters are young. I think the three characters are Sodapop‚Ponyboy‚and Two bit. In the book I pictured them as these tough looking kids but when I saw the movie they actually don’t look as tough as I imagined

    Innocence and Experience What does it mean to “lose” one’s innocence? Some may say innocence is lost when the belief in Santa Claus has vanished or when parents let their children have a sip of their bitterly harsh grape juice. Innocence could be lost along with the loss of pure virginity. That being said‚ is innocence even something that is lost‚ or did it even exist in the first place? A baby is in their mother’s womb; a place where they are sheltered from all the horrors of the world. Once

    Demonism And Innocence: Gothic poetry and the Gothic Female. There is something of deep and unsettling thrill that comes from reading works of gothic literature.

    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

    don’t because there are too many changes between the book and the movie. I was very disappointed with the movie by Coppola. The Movie by Coppola is a big disgrace to the book by S.E Hinton. Three things I notice with the most changes were characters‚ setting‚ and plot. Francis Ford Coppola changed the character around a lot. Three characters that had the most changes were Ponyboy Curtis‚ Johnny Cade‚ and Dallas Winston (Dally). In the book‚ Pony had a good relationship with his brother Sodapop

    detail than in the movie version. Right off of the bat I notice that Billy meets a man on the train that is taking him to Bath and the man he meets is in the same branch as him. In the story it don’t say the reason that the landlady opens the door so fast but in the movie she was looking through the door hole and that’s why she opened the door so fast. In the movie he waits a while before he came in but in the story it said that he came in fast after she opened the door. Also in the movie while he is in

    Persepolis Film and Book Comparison Persepolis the movie doesn’t really deviate from the book all too much. Except for a couple of scenes in color‚ which were set outside the time frame of the book‚ the film basically followed the book. Some scenes‚ for the purpose of time were likely skipped and not included in the film. For the main part‚ the film seemed to want to focus more on Marji’s political commentary and less on the extraneous portions of her life which sort of hurt the narrative. The
