    Contrast between the Movie and Book Version of “Animal Farm” I always think the book is better than the movie‚ and Animal Farm is no exception.  One reason is that I form pictures in my mind as I read‚ and I imagine what each of the characters must look like and where they live as they live out their stories.  That’s especially true in a novel in which the primary characters are animals. Seeing it come to life in a cartoonish movie was rather difficult‚ though I did enjoy several characterizations

    Book vs. Movie Some people say that the movie is better than the book but is it really? In this argument I will discuss how the book is better than the movie. In this case the book “The Lightning Thief” is better than the movie because the book includes all fun and exciting scenes that help and make you use your imagination a lot more than the movie itself.
