    S.E. Hinton was only 15 years old when she wrote this extremely detailed book. I liked her book a lot because of how much detail she put into it. I didn’t like the movie a lot because I was kind of expecting it to be a lot like the book but was disappointed when it left out many different parts of the book. While the book and movie have many similarities and differences, the book was more effective in telling the story.…

    Based solely on the novel of Divergent a movie was made lasting two hours and nine minutes. This isn't a short span of time for a movie yet, could it be pure coincidence that they left out some details. Could it have been some of the effects were to gruesome for a film rated PG-13? Or were these actions of leaving the details out more purposeful? Does it give the movie somewhat of a different meaning than the original script of the book? So it brings into question, who wrote it better the writer of the novel Veronica Roth, or the director of the film Neil Burger?…

    Fahrenheit 451 was written by Ray Bradbury in 1953. A well-known science fiction novel that teaches people to appreciate the freedom to read books. It explores the theme of having a negative dystopian society that is controlled by a ruling government and the censorship of books. Fourteen years later the book was adapted into a movie version directed by Francois Truffaut. The movie was made so that readers have a visual way to look at it rather than reading it. There were major differences in the movie which excluded important details provided by the book, concerning the characters, and the advanced technology. Even with the differences, the plot of the movie followed similarly to the plot of the book.…

    Whenever a novel undergoes an adaptation into a film, the film writers (and possibly the novelist) make suitable changes to better adapt the film, which possibly includes changes in characterization, events and themes. With A Lesson Before Dying, both the film and the book portray a conflict between Grant Wiggins, the protagonist, and Reverend Ambroise about religion, the community and Jefferson, however, the book provides a more in-depth layer to the conflict. In the novel, not only does Ambroise besiege Grant about his atheism, but also asserts his dominance and his power as a reverend; Ambroise flaunts his authority, because he believes that Grant threatens his power when Grant actually does not care about Ambroise’s power. For the movie, however, Ambroise instead focuses more on Grant’s atheism and his devotion towards saving Jefferson’s soul.…

    Remember JonBenet Ramsey, the six year old child beauty pageant queen whose body was found in her family basement hours after she was reported missing on December 5, 1996? Someone strangled and hit her in the head then wrapped her body in a blanket. Their been many speculation who killed her even her own family, but to this day no one really knows what happened in the Ramsey house when she was murdered. After that incident I would think that parents would be more cautious about their children but since then children pageantry has skyrocketed.

    Artificial Intelligence is becoming to be a rising topic, and fiction movies about it are starting to seem more like an actual possibility in the future. Two movies that I watched about this topic, are the Blade Runner, and Wall-e. They both have many common elements, and of course have their differences. Overall, they both give viewers an idea of what the future could hold and the dangers along with it. The movies shared differences in their artificial intelligence, therefore afforded different rights, but surprisingly came from similar societies.…

    The difference between life and death can be listening to the opinions of friends and family. This is portrayed in Into the Wild, written by Jon Krakauer and Grizzly Man, directed by Werner Herzog. In Walden, written by Henry David Thoreau, he did not die but his time spent at Walden was time wasted. Depending on the situation, it can be vital to take others’ opinions of our actions into consideration when making our own decisions. However, in other situations, the opposite can occur where it is vital to make your own decisions for yourself.…

    Gambling, whether for life or money, is risky and success is not guaranteed, even if you ‘win’. Two different tales both involving risk. In “The Rocking-Horse Winner” by DH Lawrence a little boy named Paul is a very interesting, unique character. He is a passionate, exuberant little boy. Along with Bassett, the family gardener and his uncle Oscar, Paul gambles at the horse races. He is trying to make money for his family who is very poor. Paul has a way with ‘knowing’ which horse will win; he rides his childhood rocking-horse and while riding he gets a feeling about a certain horse and that horse is the one he gambles on. Paul doesn’t always get an answer but when he does, it is always right on. While in “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, the main character we focus on is Tessie, while she, like Paul, is gambling, she isn’t gambling by choice and definitely not for profit. Along with the rest of the village she lives in, Tessie is gambling for her life. Tessie is excited about the lottery each year, every year but this one, when her family is drawn, she protests that the lottery is unfair. She then proceeds to reluctantly draw a slip of paper and of…
