White Fang was a great book but there were some differences between the book and movie. Many people like the book better than the movie. The differences of Jack London's White Fang the book and the movie are white fang’s mothers dies,the existence of a bear, and the burial of a dead guy.

    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.…

    After reading the novel and watching the movie I noticed some differences, I'll start with Ponyboy, in the novel pony boy is slapped by his brother, but in the movie, he is pushed, I think the actors couldn't fake the slap or wanted to harm the actors, this difference wasn't very good it took away some of the drama. Another difference is that in the movie it ends shortly after Dally's death and in the novel a lot happens after that; this was a very bad change to the film, like pony boy breaking the glass was definitely a point that made the novel more enjoyable. One similarity in the book and novel is that in both he cuts his hair and dyes it blonde.…

    Rather than send warriors to fight the dragon, Beowulf goes himself to fight the dragon. Taking sword and shield he engages the beast in combat. However, Beowulf runs into complications with this beast, “the iron Shield, and for a time it held, protected Beowulf as he’d planned; then it began to melt.” (720-722) Beowulf finds himself in defeat for the first time. Then Wiglaf, one of his kinsmen, comes to his aid and together they defeat the dragon. Yet, Beowulf is mortally wounded and is about to die. Before dying, he passes the throne to Wiglaf. Thus the hero dies in a heroic manner and with pride, after fighting a foe that once again threatened a people. Beowulf is not only a hero, but also an example to all warriors of what they should strive to…

    Another big difference is about Johnny's mom at the hospital.In the book, the nurse comes in and tells Johnny that his mom is here to see him, and he tells them he does not want to see her.And, as Dally and Ponyboy are leaving, it shows her yelling at the nurse about how she wants to see him.In the movie it only mentions his mom at the hospital, with the nurse coming in and and telling Johnny that his mom was there.Although it was a small detail, it was a big difference.…

    The book was better than the movie on account of it had way more details, and it had more parts in it than the movie did. It is extremely time-consuming to fit an entire book in a less than two hour long movie, but authors and readers can produce a book as long as you want. Although the movie took a shorter time to watch than reading the book did, the readers can retrieve more from a book than they can retrieve from watching a movie. Even in movies that into feeling by the book scene for scene there is still less detail in the movie than there is in the book.…

    There are a lot of differences the two stories have to one another. In the book King Hrothgar seems as if he would be more put together and a gentleman but in the book he is a drunk and messy man. In the book they make Grendel react to the word of God and that is what angers him and makes him want to kill and destroy the hall. In the movie he attacks because the loud music hurts his ears, and that makes him shrink if it gets too loud which is how Beowulf was able to cut off his arm and kill Grendel in the movie. Another difference that was very noticed was that in the movie Grendel’s mother is very sexy and seductive and she convinces Beowulf to sleep with her and have a child and he will have all power and the whole Kingdom of Denmark, which is what had happened to Hrothgar too. Which means that Grendel was actually Hrothgar’s son that he created when he was seduced by Grendel’s Mother when he went to kill her. In the book that never happened, he actually killed Grendel with the sword that Unferth had given him. The movie added a lot of different details to make the story much more interesting and adding a sexy monster definitely grabbed the people’s attention. Especially if Angelina Jolie played Grendel’s Mother's…

    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.…

    The differences that occur in the book are Hrothgar isn’t Grendel’s father. Beowulf’s father was known by Hrothgar. Beowulf fights Grendel in the Great Hall and his mother under the fiery waters. The castle stayed remaining after all the fights were done with. There was a dragon at the end of the book that killed Beowulf. The movie has completely different way of showing…

    One of the most apparent differences between the book and the movie is the actual appearance of the monster. In the book the monster is described having ?yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of lustrous black, and flowing, his teeth of pearly whiteness?watery eyes?shriveled complexion and straight black lips? (35). In the movie the monster looked completely different than the description that the book provided. In the movie, the monster?s hair was not black rather it was brown. It had absolutely no ?flow? to it because it was cut very short. His skin was no yellow at all, rather he was a bit pale. Also his teeth did not stand out as pearly white. They were in fact white but nothing too noticeable. He did not seem to be a very muscular man as he was described in the book. His lips were not straight black, but were lips like regular people had. The filmmakers did do a great job distorting the monster?s face.…

    First of all, it is evident that the very detailed description cannot translate to cinematic form. To replicate this, the suspense is portrayed through the faces of the young actors who are, in my view, simply not talented enough to be able to properly bring out our emotions with the poorly performed dialog.…

    One change between the book and the movie is that Beowulf does not go home. In the film he stays in the land of the Danes. This is because king Hrothgar commits suicide and leaves all of his belongings including the queen to Beowulf. Also Grendel’s mother defeats all of Beowulf’s army in the night. When Beowulf sets out to go and defeat Grendel’s mother he is overwhelmed by her beauty. This is yet another difference in the book Grendel's mother was a hideous creature but in the movie she is beautiful. She leads to the demise of Beowulf.…
