compare and contrst essay between books

There are many differences and summaries between the book and the movie the coronals of Narnia the lion, witch and wardrobe. For example; “In the movie, they crossed that river (jumping over ice bergs, Megrim confronting them on the river, etc), while I'm pretty sure that in the book they didn't cross it, but walked along it or something... can't fully recall. Also, I'm pretty sure in the book they were only confronted by Megrims once after Edmund betrayed them (when Peter fought him), but in the movie there was also the aforementioned confrontation on the river.
The Professor is portrayed differently - at least at the start of the book/film. He's not quite as reclusive in the book.

They end up going into the wardrobe different. In the film, they're running from the housekeeper after hitting the ball. In the book, they're trying to avoid a house tour.

The book also skips over a lot of the set-up to do with wartime and the relationship between Edmund and the others. Lucy goes to Narnia in about page 6 rather than 30 minutes into the film

In the book, while with the Beavers, once they realize Edmund is gone, they know they've been betrayed and they leave. In the film, they climb a ridge and watch him go into the palace before realizing for sure.

The book makes much more of the fact that Edmund is enchanted by the Turkish delight so that it's not all his fault. When he betrays them, he does it when he first gets to the Palace; not in the dribs and drabs throughout the film which makes it seem like he's not

    The book and movie had quite a few differences. First off, in the beginning of the book, it showed Vernon Dursley was going to work, and saw all these people in robes (wizards) celebrating. Dursley got super annoyed by all this, and also by the owls fluttering all around him. In the movie, it started off with Dumbledore turning off the lights.…

    One thing in particular that the book does much better is making use of complex metaphors and themes, such as: the river for life, and oneness with nature, that string themselves together as you turn each page of the book, while in the movie the metaphors and symbolism are represented in a much different way through picture. In the book, both themes regarding the river are very vivid and clear, as they use strong imagery of nature to draw pictures in the minds of the readers. In the movie both themes are represented and referred to much less because of the lack of narration.…

    Personally, I liked the book better than the movie. Although the book was confusing at certain points, for example when the chief would refer to the fog, it went into greater detail and was more interesting than the movie. The director changed the movie around for entertainment purposes rather than directly following all the events from the novel. The mood of the characters comparing the book and the movie differ. Each character is depicted in a different way in the movie setting a dissimilar temperament every scene.…

    The differences are subtle, but they are all there. One difference between the two are the order of events. Certain scenes, such as Paul and Albert's injuries, the French girls and Paul's leave, are all done in different orders in both the movie and book. In the book, the scenes play out like this; first the boys meet the French girls, then Paul has his leave and then finally Paul and Albert get injured However, in the movie the events play out as so; The boys meet the French girls (n this particular sequence of events meeting the French girls happens first, however, in the movie that scene is shown later then in the book), then Paul and Albert get injured, and then finally Paul has his leave. This difference is very trivial as it doesn't change anything significantly, however it is a pretty striking…
