Twilight book and movie
Annika Bobbitt

Stephanie Meyer wrote the amazing book, Twilight, which was the first that became a four saga series. Since the book was very popular with its readers it was made into a movie. Books that become movies have similarities and differences between the original story, as told in the novel and the screen story, as seen in the film. In Twilight there are some important differences and similarities that allow the reader to enjoy both stories.
A key similarity is the story line and main events are the same. Consistently in the book and the film Billy Black is always telling Bella to be careful. Likewise the chase and fight with James and Bella are the same in the book and the movie. Other similarities in the book and the movie are Bella going to the prom with Edward, Edward being mean to Jacob, Bella always dreaming about Edward, Charlie buying a truck from Billy for Bella’s home coming present, Bella meeting all of the Cullens and going to watch them play baseball.
One last important similarity between the book and the film is Edward and Bella going to the meadow together and Edward showing her why he can’t go into the sunlight. This is important in both the book and the film because it states that Edward and his family are vampires. These similarities allow the book and movie to tell the same story. The differences in Twilight are very easy to pick out. For instance, in the book, Jessica, Angela, and Bella go to Port Angeles to do some dress shopping for the spring dance where as in the movie they are shopping for the prom. In the book, Bella faints in biology class because they were working with blood. In the movie this is not even there. The book also says that Bella went with Jasper and Alice to the airport to pick up Edward, Carlisle, and Emmett and then she escaped Jasper’s watch and goes to find James at her old ballet studio. The movie is different since it has Bella sneaking out of the hotel she was

    One last difference in the movie was close to the end Tris was caught by the bad guys. In the book she was put in a jail cell, and was to be experimented on. The experiment was to see if she reacted to her worst fear the way she did in her fear simulation, or if she completely panicked. In the movie she was captured, but she was brought outside to be shot. This was a big difference from the book and the…

    What do you do when you read a book then watch the movie on it? Do you watch it to get the picture of the story or do you watch it to compare the two? When reading a story then watching a movie you need to watch out for the similarities and differences between the two. The book Beowulf and the movie Beowulf have a few similarities and a good bit of differences. Some similarities are they both have the same characters, Beowulf cuts off Grendel’s arm, the people celebrate the death of Grendel with drinking, they hang Grendel’s arm for all to see, and Beowulf kills both Grendel and his mother. The differences deal with Grendel’s father, Beowulf’s father, where Beowulf fights Grendel, how the outcome of the plot ends, and the dragon. The similarities may not over weigh the differences but are still extremely important in comparing the book to the movie.…

    When comparing the book Twilight, written by Stephanie Meyers, with the movie Twilight, screenplay written by Melissa Rosenberg and produced by Catherine Hardwicke, there are multiple visual differences between the two. Some important scenes were changed or even omitted from the original text, leaving noticeable gaps in the movie’s plot. There are big and important differences, which are obvious, while there are also less important differences between them such as names and small missing details. The most important differences between the book and movie were when Bella tells Edward she knows he is a Vampire and when Edward saves Bella from Tyler’s van in the beginning. In reading the book before seeing the movie the phrase “The book is always better than the movie,” is proven true with Twilight.…
