reading it‚ but once I did‚ I couldn’t put it down. For those of you who have never read it‚ it is perhaps Maugham’s best work. It is the life story of Philip Carey and his search for meaning in life. After Carey’s parents die‚ he is sent to live with his uncle‚ a vicar in a small village. The family is extremely religious. I remember reading the book late into the night‚ thinking about Philip as if he were a close friend‚ and then hurrying home after school to discover what was happening to

The Movie or the Book? Nicholas Sparks has written multiple novels that have evolved into movies‚ such as The Notebook‚ The Last Song‚ Dear John‚ Message in a Bottle‚ and A Walk to Remember. The movies previously mentioned are as equally good as the novels except for Dear John. To me‚ Dear John is one of the best books written by Nicholas Sparks‚ yet the movie is the worst. The plot is excellent‚ but it is poorly portrayed in the movie. Several literary elements are found in both the movie and the

Economics defined as a study of mankind in the ordinary business of life; it examines that part of individual and social action which is most closely connected with the attainment and with the use of the material requisites of wellbeing. Thus it is on one side a study of wealth; and on the other‚ and more important side‚ a part of the study of man. Economics not just study about the economy of country‚ inflation rate or stock market. I have learnt that economy is all related to our lives. For example

Introduction: Was Life of Pi a true story of a boy stuck out in sea for 7 months with a Bengal tiger‚ or all a lie that constantly toyed with our brains? This was a question that always kept readers of the book and viewers of the movie perplexed about which story was the accurate one and is what made it such a success. In the movie‚ Ang Lee directs the story with his own take on a vast variety of visual details. The book however has many contrasting ideas and themes with the movie. There are many similarities

He is responsible for researching the story to find the intent of the writers and will often consult with the writer to bring you the true meaning of the story. The director brings the

Critical Writing November 13‚ 2007 The movie Namesake was a fairly good depiction of the book. As a movie‚ apart from the book‚ it was good. The characters played their role well‚ emotional scenes were shown‚ and the point of the movie was easy to see. The problems that I had with the movie‚ was the fact that they cut out Gogol’s whole college life and Ruth‚ his first girlfriend. This was taking out a huge part of his life‚ where Gogol actually chose his life path‚ as an architect‚ not an engineer
