    In Old Yeller the book and movie have many differences. the book old yeller there was a bull fight outside their house and the bulls broke the fence and Travis tried to stop them from fighting. But in the movie there was not no bull fight and they did not add anything that talks about the bullfight. Also a in the book Travis is narrating the story, but in the movie, it is in third person. I like that Travis is narrowing because you get more of his feelings. The last difference…

    The book and the movie are similar in many ways, especially the plot, the characters, and what the characters say. The similarities outnumber the differences, especially since the differences are so few and do not have much in common. The similarities are many and encompass much of the movie and the book. More movies should be similar to their corresponding book as this set…

    There are some similarities between the book and the movie. For example, the birds attack in the same ways. They come through the house, peck at windows, and try to break down the doors, which they do succeed in doing. Another similarity is using the blanket as a weapon. In the movie, Mitch uses it to block the birds from pecking at him, and in the book, Nat uses it to stop type birds from attacking him and his children. Also, in the movie and book, when the children are running away from the school, a little girl gets severely scratched across her face, and almost all of the children—except Cathy/Jill—die from the attack. One more similarity is the endings of both the story and movie. The story ends with almost everyone—not including Nat's family—dead, due to the bird attacks, never getting the newscast on what's happening. In the movie, Melanie—who was brutally attacked by the birds—, Mitch, Cathy, and Lydia driving away from Bodega Bay—the only place attacked by birds—after everyone else is already dead. Both portrayals of "The Birds" end with you wondering what happens next.…

    Another difference that I noticed is concerning Curley's wife. In the book there is a scene where Lennie, Candy and Crooks are gathered in Crooks' room. After a while, Curley's wife emerges and the atmosphere becomes unpleasant. Crooks finds the courage to stand up against her, and when he does, she verbally breaks him down. In the movie this scene never takes place, and by eliminating this incident Curley's wife's destructive nature stays unrevealed.…

When watching the movie, the viewer gets to see children fighting and preparing for a battle without knowing the overall purpose and message of the novel. Ender’s Game is asking if it is morally correct to train a child for war. In the end though, the novel shows a more fitting message than the movie portrays it.…

    Samuel Spade of The Maltese Falcon novel by Dashiell Hammett is quite different from Samuel Spade of “The Maltese Falcon” motion picture. The book was written a good decade before that version of the movie was produced and in a much more casual time period. The novel focuses on making Sam out to be a more complex character than the movie does. He is not just “the good guy” as he is portrayed more so in the movie. The time period may have had a lot to do with the differences between the 1941 movie and the book, published in 1929. The first thing to consider is that the late 1920’s were a much more relaxed, party era, while the early 1940’s were an era of strict decorum. While Hammett’s Spade is depicted as demeaning and a womanizer, the film makes him out to be a traditional clichéd hero, which is subsequently detrimental to the film and disregards Hammett’s original vision of Sam Spade.…

For example, in the book the story of how 5 year old Eric Morse got dropped out of the 14th floor window was different from the story in the movie. In the movie it…

    Darkness, why are we so afraid of the unknown. Many including myself are paralised by the thought of an unwelcomed presence, I dare not turn my back in fear that my thoughts may be real. Although that same compelling fear has never stopped us from venturing into the unkown. Whether it’s being out there amongst the vast emptiness of space or delving deeper into our subconcious mind, two vastly different concepts yet they may be more similar than you could imagine and Christopher Nolan has a great depiction of both in the movies Inception and Interstellar two sci-fi cinematic siblings that may seem worlds apart but might be more similar than you suspect.…
