Some say fiction is more enjoyable than watching movies. Although it is true that reading book will help people expand their certain level of vocabulary and glossaries‚ I believe that watching movie will appreciate the story line comprehensively and it is more efficient watching movie rather than reading book. In this essay‚ I will briefly illustrate two significant reasons to support my preference. Most of all‚ I believe that movies express its’ story more lively than reading fiction

Skellig Book vs. Film Skellig by David Almond was made into a film and into a book‚ although they are based on the same story by the same author but with a different director‚ they are very different and they are not similar to each other in the plot and in the ideas. The book is a simple story about a boy named Michael and is jealous and worried about his baby sister who has been sick since the day she was born. There is slight fantasy and magic to the story that adds a twist

Into the Wild: Book vs. Movie Into the Wild happens to be my favorite book‚ and also one of my favorite movies. Most people like one or the other‚ but I think the two complement each other because of the varied stances taken on the main character himself. In case you’re not familiar‚ Into the Wild is based on the true story of Chris McCandless who‚ after graduating with honors from Emory University in 1990‚ gave his entire savings of twenty-four thousand dollars to charity and set off following

Settings: KENT: Pip’s hometown of Kent is where the book opens up‚ it “was a marsh country‚ down by the river‚ within‚ as the river wound‚ tweny miles of the sea” (pg 1).

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel‚ The Great Gatsby‚ took the world by storm when it was first published in 1925 and is still a popular piece of American literature almost a century later. His emphasis on sociopolitical themes makes his book a useful tool for discussing modern day issues. Because of its popularity and relevance to modern day life‚ The Great Gatsby has gone through many film adaptations‚ each unique in its own right. Baz Luhrmann’s 2013 remake of this timeless story remains true to Fitzgerald’s

Good to Great by Jim Collins is by far the best business-oriented book that I’ve read that can be applied to any career situation. I can see why it has gained the notoriety and respect from top level executives around the world. I have read other business type books which were more of a motivational lecture than actual years of research going into the making of one text. Before reading this book‚ my preconceived notion was that I would be lost in trying to understand executive jargon. That was not

of the Book Big Fish‚ and the Film For the past few weeks‚ I have analyzed the storytelling style of the book and film Big Fish. The biggest difference I noticed was that I thought that the book focused more on the telling of Edwards inane stories‚ while the film was mostly centered around character development and relationships.

Good to Great Book Report The ideas that are given in this book will stimulated my mind into becoming a leader and perhaps enabled me to bring my company ahead of the competitors. It was amazing to see how Collins spent nearly five years in comparing the mediocre companies with great companies. One most notable difference is on how the level 5 leader responds to each situation that the company faces. This book will helped me to understand that if a company becomes big‚ its not because of the skilled
