The Dvd Better Than The Short Story
I liked the dvd better than the short story. In the dvd you can hear the creepy noises and facial expressions. You could also see the lighting of the dvd better than the short story. In the short story you couldn’t see the people’s facial expressions or hear the creepy noises in the background. In the dvd you could see the angles of the dvd, but in the short story you couldn’t see the angles. In the dvd you could hear some of the music, but in the book you couldn’t hear the music.

In chapter one some of the similarities are Scrooge’s nephew came in his workshop and told him “A Merry Christmas, uncle.” Scrooge and his nephew talk for a little bit. Scrooge left his workshop and walked to his house. Some of the similarities in chapter two
…show more content…
In the short story, Scrooge called his nephew an idiot, but in the dvd he didn’t. They never really talked about Marley in the dvd that much, but in the short story they did a lot. One of the differences in chapter two are in the short story it said that Scrooge sobbed, but in the dvd he didn’t sob. Some of the differences in in chapter five are in the dvd the gentlemen who came with the boy did not say “Lord Bless you.” In the dvd Scrooge didn’t go to the church after the gentlemen left. Scrooge didn’t say “Is you master at home” in the dvd.

The dvd affects the mood because, of the lighting, angles, facial expressions, and the sounds. The lighting affects the mood of the dvd by showing how scary it looks in the dvd. The angles affects the mood of the dvd by showing like a close up of Scrooge’s face when he is angry. The facial expressions affect the mood of the dvd by showing how angry Scrooge was and when you read a book you can’t visualize it. The sounds affect the mood of the dvd by showing how scary it sounds.

I have always found the dvd better than the short story. The noises, lighting, facial expressions of the people, and the angles. The dvd shows more facial expressions than the short story. You can see how scared or happy they are by their facial expressions. Sometimes the lighting makes it more scary. The noises in the background can make it more

    While having the option to read the novel, The Cay or watch the movie, The Cay I would rather read the book. I believe the book, by Theodore Taylor, is better because of the fact that there is far more details of the adventure that Phillip and Timothy had in the book than in the movie, produced by Walter Seltzer. I also can see in the movie that there is a very low budget for the movie. I also believe that the fact that you can read Philip's mind it makes that story that much better and shows how much prejudice has to do with the whole story, while in the movie you never really know how prejudice Phillip is. It is almost like the movie was cut to the raft, sped through on the raft, told the whole story for the most part of while on the cay,…

    Personally, I like the book better. The movie just doesn't give enough information. It leaves out so many details from the book that it just messes up the story line. Don't get me wrong the movie was a great movie but it just wasn't good enough. It needed more details than what it had. The little details is what counts the…

    Both accounts have many similarities. For example, in lines 68 and 73 of the original story, The Grinch takes Christmas away from the villagers. The fury he has towards the holidays and The Whos’ can be displayed in his behavior in the film and on the original story. When The Grinch proceeds to take the Whos’…

    When I read this story it showed how Scrooge changed during the three visits from each spirit the first one was the ghost of christmas past, the second was the ghost of the christmas present, the third one was the ghost of the christmas future and it talked about how it has affected scrooge in the past, present, and the future, I think the future affected him the most because he thought having a lot of money would make him a popular person, but when he saw his death, and he was alone, he began to realize money is not what makes family, he thinks about tiny tim about that tiny tim is not rich but he is everyone favorite. Once he have visited every ghost he has changed he is now a nice person.…

    The Soloist

    Compared to the movie, I think the book tells the story in a much more powerful way. The movie seems constrained by its shorter length, and its inability to delve into how the characters are feeling except through what the characters say. The book, The Soloist, portrays the different characters in a vivid and complete way. The book, by including more events, tells the story in a way that allows readers to see how the relationship between Lopez and Nathanial develops. The more detailed string of events provides more context and a better understanding of how Lopez responds emotionally to Nathaniel. The book also provides more information about Lopez’s efforts in a more detailed and descriptive way, and it gives readers a more explicit vision of Steve Lopez and Nathaniel as characters. The book, by showing the process of the development of the relationship between Nathaniel and Steve Lopez, helps form a strong emotional agreement between readers and the author. In contrast, the movie presents the story in a very brief way that does not allow the audience to be affected by the story fully. From my perspective, I prefer the book over the movie.…

    In this scene he is taken to his grave in the future and he then shows his fear and admits that he has done wrong throughout his life once he sees that no one cares that he has died. He says ‘Hear me! I am not the man I was.’ the way he says ‘hear me!’ suggests that he wants everyone to know and hear that he has changed from his pervious self. I think Dickens may have included this episode within the story to show Scrooge admitting he’s now different. Also, earlier in the story, Scrooge says that the poor population should die. However, after seeing what death is like, his point of view may have changed and he may take back what he said…

    In stave two dickens changes the readers perception of Scrooge changes. This is done by showing the past of scrooge, when he was a little boy. ‘“The school is not quite deserted,'' said the Ghost. ``A solitary child, neglected by his friends, is left there still.”’ You feel sympathy for Scrooge because he is shown a deserted and solitary child, this also reflects on the previous text “solitary as an oyster”. This is were we begin to think of the reflection on his presence.…

    Dickens creates transformation in his characters to highlight the importance of kindness and its effects. We meet Scrooge in stave one, a man who is as “solitary as an oyster” and so cold “a chill does not affect him”, this leads readers to feel pessimistic and negatively towards Scrooge. His ill treatment of Bob Cratchit and his cold, dark nature is then contrasted to that of the warm “lively” Fezziwig, Scrooge’s old employer. Fezziwig with his “Christmas party” and the generosity toward Scrooge and his other apprentice presents readers with the happiness and contentment brought about by being generous and giving. The contrast of employee treatment allows Scrooge to see his twisted ways and allows readers to view how their generosity could lead to the happiness of others and a fulfillment of duty as an employer. The greatest and most obvious character transformation is between the initial Scrooge and the final Scrooge. “Wheezing...” and almost machine-like Ebenezer Scrooge is despised and on the outskirts of society, even the blind are seen as lucky for not having to “set eyes on evil himself”. However, Scrooge’s change and journey allows him to recognize his duty to others and how helping those around him, he receives joy and pleasure. This transformation…

    The book, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is the originally book where the ideas came from. But, comparing to the movie “The Lion King” there are many ways that they are the same and many ways that they are different. Scrooge has seen the first ghost “the ghost of christmas past” and the ghost had taken Scrooge to his his past. Scrooge saw many scenes but after all the important scenes were shown to Scrooge the ghost took Scrooge back to the present. Shortly after, in his room was another ghost, except this one was surrounded by food and clothed in a long green robe. The second ghost was “the ghost of christmas present”. “It was clothed in one simple green robe, or mantle, bordered with white fur. This garment hung so loosely on the figure, that its captious breast was bare, as if disdaining to be warded or concealed by any article”(Dickens,…

    In 'A Christmas Carol', Charles Dickens represents Scrooge as an unsympathetic man who is offered the opportunity to redeem himself. Through use of language, the reader is positioned to view him adversely, but during the journey of morality lessons shown by three spirits, Scrooge recovers his sense of joy by undergoing a significant transformation. Scrooge seeks redemption through the many lessons taught by the Spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come.…
