In much of Scottish literature of the 19th Century‚ women are portrayed as unrealistic creatures who serve as tools to enhance their male counterparts. Their only purposes are to be love interests‚ the cliched damsels in distress‚ side plots‚ and conflicts that need to be solved by the men in the stories. Not only must they inhabit these lofty roles‚ but they also tend to embody the qualities of “the perfect woman”; they are beautiful women who have more androgynous or even male characteristics and

1972‚ the book was made into a movie. Part two followed in 1974‚ and part three in 1990. The plot follows the feuds between five big New York mafia families. Compared to the movie‚ the book had many more side stories featuring supporting characters. Of note is how the novel version had an epilogue that the movie completely ignored. Although there are some changes and flaws‚ the 1974 film adaptation of the book has a similar plot and is a very good film version. It is one of the best book adaptations

The purpose of this essay‚ is to compare the book by Robert Louis Stevenson to its cinematic version. The movie was better and interesting and had life‚ unlike the book. When my class watched the movie I was surprised at the huge amount

Not growing up in an environment like the ones of the characters I don’t seem to have any personal connections. However‚ as I compare the movie to the book I understand the tragic scenarios Ishmael‚ Solomon‚ and Solomon’s son went through. Innocent children and people were killed each day for no logic reason. Survival was something near to impossible. The book concentrates on Ishmael from an individual point of view. He knew about war yet he knew it was far away. He was much more secure with the

Gatsby stays fairly faithful to the novel‚ but there a few scenes in the movie that have been changed from the book. The first difference is where Nick Carraway‚ the main protagonist of the story‚ narrates from. At the beginning of the movie Nick is checked in at a sanitarium for his “alcoholism”. A doctor in the sanitorium asks him questions about his time in New York and Nick responds with how he arrived there. Later into the movie the doctor requests that he write his experience in New York down on

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

The movie and the book Like Water for Chocolate are both well written. I enjoyed the book because it had a different layout than the other books we have read thus far. The film was an asset to see because it followed the book so well that it gave you more ideas about things that you might not have totally understood while reading it. This is the first Spanish movie that has had such a positive effect on the book which makes the movie that much more amazing. When reading I tried to focus on
