books vs movies
Some say fiction is more enjoyable than watching movies. Although it is true that reading book will help people expand their certain level of vocabulary and glossaries, I believe that watching movie will appreciate the story line comprehensively and it is more efficient watching movie rather than reading book. In this essay, I will briefly illustrate two significant reasons to support my preference.

Most of all, I believe that movies express its’ story more lively than reading fiction. In particular, sounds in movie bring more vivid expression to spectators. Emotion expressed in voices of actors and actresses will help people to understand the mood of the scenes easily. Moreover, the sound effects will provide clearer image of story line. Particularly, songs and artificial sound effects in difference scenes create certain atmosphere while watching the movie which will definitely help spectators to get the story line much faster. Furthermore, actions and motion in movie gives stronger image than words. In particular, action scenes can bring image that is easier for spectators to understand what is happening. Each scene has its meaning and as actors and actresses act out scenes, people will figure out what is going on in the story easily. Moreover, motions made by actors and actresses will help spectators to concentrate. For example, in wide screen, every motion actors make make spectators to be more careful not to miss anything that is happening. In this sense, I believe watching movie is better way to enjoy the storyline than reading fiction.

Moreover, it is more efficient to watch movies than read fiction. In particular, time will be used competently. Particularly, most movies only contain main plots of the story and emphasize the important scenes. This will help spectators to save time and understand the story much faster. In addition, watching movie will help people to remember the story for longer period of time; Actions, songs, and

    The Book Thief is an encouraging tale of a fictional girl named Liesel. Liesel was raised during a time of great pain and suffering: Nazi Germany. Many Jews, Gypsies, mentally and physically disabled, and others were killed over a ten year timespan. Scope magazine adapted the book and the movie to create a play. One of the characters, named Death, states, “I’m always finding humans at their best and worst. I see their ugly and their beauty, and I wonder how the same thing can be both.” True, we’re all human beings but how we picture the world and react to it is a whole different story. The extent of examples that can be found in the novel, movie, play, and even real life Nazi Germany has a very wide range including the mass murders and the “Harriet Tubman”s.…

    Honestly, movies are easier at trying figure out their theme then books. For books, you need to use more auditory focus to find the theme, but when watching a movie you need equal amount of visual and auditory to truly see the theme of that particular movie. Books take more time then movies, but they go more in depth. It adds more details and ideas to theme of a book then someone watching a movie. Honestly I prefer movies only for enjoyment and books for figuring out the structure that the author had put the time into for the reader to…

    Many people read books, and they perceive truths and realize ideals from them. In turn, readers are given to discussions about the topic of a book they recently finished, or they may recommend to other people books that made a strong impression on them. Why do people regard some books as important and make them into a guidebook for their lives? The reason is that books enlighten people and teach them essential things they need to carry out, understand, or enjoy their lives. Nevertheless, it is not true that all people like all books; in other words, a good story has something special, often its central characteristics, such as the plot or the theme. These are the indispensable features of a good story because these features have to be well harmonized to create a reading experience beloved by their readers.…
