The MIghty My thoughts on freak the mighty and the mighty are two different things.
The book is more emotional and gives lots of detail.The movie gives you a visual of what's happening and skips the critical feature. The book is about Maxwell and Kevin and how they became freak the mighty.
Maxwell is a kid who lives with his grim and gram and thinks he has no brain.Kevin is a boy who lives with his mom and has a growth disorder.They both seem to have it hard. The Movie is about the same thing just less detail.Maxwell is more emotional and has a lot more feelings.Kevin is the same only has a little bit more of vocabulary.
They still have some of the same characteristics. In the movie, Maxwell is

    First of all, even though the book is more detailed it's better when you actually see the movie so you can see the facial expressions from the actors/characters. Most people like seeing the movie instead of the book so basically there would be more spectators than readers. It is also shown that the maze runner movie is one of the movies that made a lot of money in the box office. The book however didn't blow up as much as the movie though so that's why in conclusion The movie is better than the…

    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.…

    In both the book and the movie, the plot is very similar but is also different. They both have lots of similarities and lots differences. In the book and movie, the plot is similar in the way that Leslie dies when use swings across the creek. It is different in the way that in the movie, Jess gets his hopes up to become the fastest kid in his class, than Leslie comes along and beats him. The plot also changes because the movie has less time to fit everything in that is in the book.…

    They obtained help, although it was too late and Alexander passed away the day after. That is most certainly not what occurred in the book, (as mentioned before), and the situation created in the novel is more interesting and gives more opportunity for collision later in the story. Furthermore another example is in the book, Davie is on the Covenant, and his companion Ransome is unfortunately killed after he provided Mr. Shuan with a dirty pannikin cup. In the movie, however, Ransome was almost cast overboard simply for the reason that, he gave Davie some bread, again those are completely different. Finally the last example is, in the book when he fell off the Covenant, (since it crashed into the Torran Rocks), he was stranded on an island and was compelled to survive alone for days. In the movie when Davie was stuck on the island, the Covenant exploded and he met a lady who would weave. Those are just three of the many differences between the hard copy and the movie. Now on the other hand, although there are multiple differences between the two which show how superior the book is to the movie, there are some key similarities that enhance both of them. For example,…

    The movie itself is very much different from the book. The story was also changed with some of the plot. The movie and the book are both still following the same story line. Along with the same ending. This is what I have noticed between the movie and the book.…

    Regardless of whether a movie is based on a book, books are better for providing the type of entertainment which allows you to escape reality and immerse yourself into a different world as often as you like. You can read a few pages every night but can't really watch ten minutes of a movie every night. Movies on the other hand are a great way to allow your mind…

    The book is a simple story about a boy named Michael and is jealous and worried about his baby sister who has been sick since the day she was born. There is slight fantasy and magic to the story that adds a twist to the story of a boy coming to his new home, with his new sister. The movie has a more dramatic twist to it; it makes everything seem bigger than it is to the book. Starting with how rude Skellig is in the movie compared to the book and how Michael finds him in a shed in the movie while in the book Skellig lives in the garage. There is more yelling between the characters in the movie unlike the book which shows very little of the yelling and the problems between the characters, another difference between both the movie and the book is that they show Michael’s dad as being a very heavy drinker and he is drunk most of the time in the movie than the book, we see this in the movie due to the scene where Michaels father is very drunk and he tries to burn down the shed putting both Skellig and Michael in harm’s way which is not told in the book.…
