Kynaja Levy 10/28/2014 Ms. Daley The experience of black American aviators in World War II gets a whitewash in Red Tails. The story of the 996 pilots (and some 15‚000 ground personnel) who distinguished themselves in the air in the face of institutional racism is a great one and‚ at least‚ will come to the attention of more people due to this long-gestating project from Lucas film. But every character here is so squeaky-clean‚ and the prejudice as depicted is so toothless and easily overcome‚

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.

Aside from the excitement during the movie‚ unfortunately it proved to be a loose adaptation of Homer’s classic and I could not help but notice the major differences between the book and the movie. One of the most major differences between the book and the movie was the absence of the Gods in the movie. In Homer’s Iliad‚ the

Usually‚ when a movie is made about a story in a book or a play‚ the two stories are not exactly the same. The movie tends to add small details or leave some out in order to meet time limits and to make the story what they think will be more interesting. Such is the case with Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The movie starring Mel Gibson and Glenn Close left out and even added things that were not originally in the play. When Shakespeare wrote Hamlet he did not write in a scene depicting the funeral

Although the movie does contain a minimal amount of differences from the book it’s based on‚ I noticed a variety of similarities between the novel‚ Lord of the Flies‚ and its corresponding movie. A major similarity that I found fascinating was how the scenery and placement of locations throughout the island

In most cases when there are two versions of something we can find differences and similarities‚ such as when a book is made into a movie. An example of this is the book To Kill A Mockingbird which was made into a movie‚ these two versions are very different but portray the same story. The movie does a good job in presenting the main points of the book but overall the film and the novel are dissimilar more than they are alike. The three main differences are the
