Goodnight Mr Tom
Goodnight Mr.Tom Comparing The Book And The Film

In my opinion the book and movie are more different rather than similar. I prefer the book more than the movie because it is more descriptive and exciting. Normally some people read the book first before the movie so they can understand it and I am sometimes like that. The movie is kind of confusing because it skips important parts and mixes the character profiles a bit. Another reason I like the book better is because in the book you can read people's thoughts but in the movie you don't know what is going on in their mind.
I noticed between the book and movie many differences too many to type. So I decided that I would round it down to 6 differences and 3 similarities.
DIFFERENCES;
1) In the book, when Willie's mom summons him back to London, Willie's mom lives in an old, broken down apartment with no electricity. In the movie, when Willie comes home, he enters a lit up, standard apartment. I prefer the book description, because all the neighbours think that the apartment is abandoned, and the description in the book shows that, whilst in the movie, the neighbours would hear noises coming from the apartment which would show that it was not abandoned. 2) Also, another thing I have noticed is that the movie didn't exactly show Will and Zach's relationships together compared to the book. The movie had left out Will and his friends playing a lot and having meetings. So when Zach had died, It was a bit weird that Will was very upset for Zach's death because it was like they don't really know each other well. I prefer the book because it show how Will's and other peoples' relationships develop as the time flies 3) The third thing I noticed is, in the book it told us that when Mrs. Hartriage had her baby she didn't teach anymore but in the movie when she had her baby she still came and taught. I like the book better because I think the movie doesn't really make sense. Mrs Hartriage had her baby and if she came

    Since the two are very different, I will tell you 3 differences and similarities that I noticed. One difference was Mr. Shuan, an important character, wasn’t even in the movie! He had killed Ransom and that helped Davie escape. Another difference is that Ransom didn’t die in the movie, or at least not the original way. We saw him on the boat before it blew up in the movie, in the book he died in the hull. My last difference is that The Long Mile Gang didn’t exist in the book. Some evidence that proves the flick wasn’t crazy wrong were (1) Alan did wear a blue coat…

    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…

    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.…

    A scene that I disagree on was how Adam handled the situation of getting into the ICU to see how Mia was doing. What Adam did was he and Kim came up with a plan to try and sneak into the ICU by distracting the nurse and security grads.In my opinion what should have been done was since only family members were allowed to visit her Adam could have asked to be watched at all times during the visit by the security grads.A short passage from the book that I found meaningful was when Adam came inside to see Mia; he tried to help her with the decision of staying or leaving.This short passage was significant to me because it led to the development of the theme, love could never be broken apart no matter what the situation is, it will always be there. With the love and support that her boyfriend Adam gave her it made her more…

    LeAlan And Lloyd are best friends and reporters but they start to split since LeAlan graduated and Lloyd failed 12th grade and didn’t go to graduation with LeAlan. Also the book didn’t write about the principle thinking that LeAlan and Lloyd was saying all these bad things about the hood that was not true.The reason why I think that there are so many differences in the book and movie is because LeAlan grandmother was singing her favorite song in the movie and the book never said that she was singing her favorite song. I like the movie better because it shows more things that never happened in the book. I like the book a little bit because it shows more things that never happened in the movie. The book and movie versions of Our America have many differences such as the movie shows and tells that Duane got shot and the book never said that Duane got shot.…

    In conclusion, there are more differences than similarities. One of the major differences in the movie was the story of how Eric Morse got dropped out of the 14th floor of an apartment building. Another major difference in the movie was how much David Issay appeared in the movie more so than the book. David Issay appeared more in the movie than the book.

    In the novel, Rainsford eludes General Zaroff for all three nights, but stays in the jungle. On the very last night, he jumps off the cliff into the ocean and swims back to the chateau to murder Zaroff. But in the movie, Eve and Rainsford go into the swamp and make it back to the castle and murder Zaroff before escaping. Other than that, the setting is basically the same in both versions, but to be honest I like the movie more than the book. It made it more simpler and better. Also the book had more detail than the movie.…

    I think the novel had more characters that played important roles who the movie left out or didn’t show as much of because Marcus was shown throughout the whole novel and was very important. He told Tris about the important information and helped Tris get to Erudite to get the information from Jeanine. “If you find the computer you will find Jeanine” (487). In this quote Marcus was with Tris trying to stop Jeanine. This proves the novel had more characters that played important roles who the movie missed out or didn’t show as much because in the movie, Marcus was only shown a few times at the beginning and didn’t do anything too important besides telling Tris that Jeanine has important information that her parents died protecting. In the novel Cara also played an important role in helping the royal dauntless during the attack from Erudite and Dauntless traitors. “There she evacuated a group of loyal Dauntless—including Tobias—to a fire escape the Dauntless traitors had not sealed off” (196). Cara also helped at the ending in getting into Erudite to get the information from Jeanine. This proves the novel had more characters that played important roles who the movie missed out or didn’t show as much because in the movie, Cara is not shown at all and not even mentioned. In the novel Zeke is another character who played an important role, by collecting information from the Erudite and by saving Tori who then became a dauntless leader. “The traitor Dauntless found out we were collecting information from them” (227). This proves the novel had more characters that played important roles who the movie missed out or didn’t show as much because in the movie Zeke wasn’t shown at all but his bother Uriah was. In conclusion the reason I liked the novel better than the film because the novel…
