Tikki Book Comparison
Which is better: the printed text or the digital adaption?
Rikki-tikki-tavi
Rudyard Kipling's story Rikki-Tikki-Tavi from his novel The Jungle Book has become a major hit ever since it was published. When Chuck Jones' cartoon film Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was released, it became even more popular than the book. But this didn't last long for the movie soon lost its entertainment value due to being too old-fashioned. The book retained its entertainment value because people still read old books and consider them to be classics. People who read the book will be bitterly disappointed by the movie as they would expect a digital adaption to be modern. Really being old-fashioned is no reason to discredit the movie The movie emphasises on a flood at the

    In part 2 of They Say/I Say, authors Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein begin the process of teaching how to present the writer’s counter-argument, the “I say.” The “I say” segment is where you discuss and offer your own argument to what they have said or wrote. The three most common ways of using “I Say” are agreement, disagreement, and a combination of the two. Graff and Birkenstein goes on to explain that when you agree, disagree, or even both, you should not mildly or incompetently do either. Be clear and concise, offer some explanation for your view. The authors present several examples of ways to effectively explain your stance, but it is crucial that you explain why you feel the way you do. Even if you agree with another’s point of view,…

    There were several influential differences between the book A Brief Moment in the Life of Angus Bethune and the movie Angus. In the book, Angus was often tormented over his parents’ sexuality, while it was completely left out in the movie. The movie also changed Angus’ support system from only his family to adding a best friend. Also, the movie changed Angus from a senior with average intelligence to a freshman who was eligible for switching to a magnet school for gifted students. Overall, the movie made Angus more socially acceptable, while the book focused on all the reasons he did not fit in and how he overcame them anyway. For these reasons, the book was superior to the movie.…

    After watching a movie so underwhelming to it’s counterpart on paper you question why they ever bothered to turn such a literary classic into a screenplay. It is safe to assume even the French are saying, “Pourquoi Hollywood? Pourquoi?”. A book such as Lord of the Flies (1954) by William Golding, deserved more than selling out to a complete body of American directors, writers, and actors, who would disregard the important themes and meanings behind the book due to “time restraint”. Movies are adapted to bring books to life, but someone watching the movie Lord of the Flies (1990) directed by Harry Hook, would never quite understand the meaning behind the boys, their journey, and the question being answered about man versus nature presented by…

    In The Lovely Bones, a novel written by Alice Sebold, a horrific story of an unfortunate death and tragedy unfolds. The movie (released in 2009), directed by Peter Jackson, depicts the same story, but displays the emotions of the characters in ways the author couldn’t. The book contrasts to the movie using mood, tone and theme by the way the director produces the film less brutal and cruel than the novel.…

    A classic novel is one that relates to and questions aspects central to our lives, and can be related to for generations to come. To kill a mockingbird (Harper Lee, 1960) elevates itself to become a timeless classic through its portrayal of profound themes and narrative messages that impact readers across all demographics. It is a compassionate story that not only educates and thrills the reader, but also ultimately inspires them to re-evaluate their presuppositions, and learn to denote an emotional understanding of someone else’s feelings or problems by walking around in their shoes. Themes concerning injustice of racial prejudice and the value of courage and bravery are traversed in great depth through the main characters, Atticus…

    In a society where major forms of entertainment are lodged in cinema and theater, it’s easy to come across a few films or movies that have very similar concepts to the point of practically being the same. When there are well over a thousand movies in just the United States alone, it’s easy to comprehend why originality may be a challenge. There are three movies in particular that hold true to this statement and they are Pocahontas, James Cameron’s Avatar, and The Lion King. These movies hold very similar ideologies in regards to nature and greed. However, they tend to differ in their cinematographic approaches in revealing the underlying and, or, obvious, ideologies.…

    The novel, To Kill A Mockingbird, has been critically praised as a landmark work and important piece of American literature dealing with such fundamental issues of society. The 1962 movie adaption has received similar proclamations of genius storytelling. But when compared side by side, does the movie truly stand up to the literary masterpiece and accurately present the themes and lesson intended by the author? After examining the restrictions on character and plot development by formatting, the difference in voice from the movie to the novel, and the shared themes, it can be concluded that although the movie succeeds in passing along the same messages that the book does, it fails in fully living up to the amount of detail and technique in plot and details that the novel provides, making it not entirely sufficient as a transcription of the original To Kill A Mockingbird into film.…
