Compare And Contrast A Wrinkle In Time
The movie “A Wrinkle in Time” is better than the book because it doesn’t add extra useless information like the book does. There are some, but they’re minor. On the first page of the book the narrator says, “Sandy and Denny's, her ten-year-old twin brothers, who got home from school an hour earlier than she did, were disgusted.” In the movie, these characters were not in the story and it had no effect on the plot at all, making the movie better because it does not add useless excess information. This is declaring that in the book Meg was the oldest of 4, and in the movie there was only 2. The twins were not in the movie, and that did not effect the story line at all, just lengthened the useless information of the book. Therefore, the movie

    The differences are subtle, but they are all there. One difference between the two are the order of events. Certain scenes, such as Paul and Albert's injuries, the French girls and Paul's leave, are all done in different orders in both the movie and book. In the book, the scenes play out like this; first the boys meet the French girls, then Paul has his leave and then finally Paul and Albert get injured However, in the movie the events play out as so; The boys meet the French girls (n this particular sequence of events meeting the French girls happens first, however, in the movie that scene is shown later then in the book), then Paul and Albert get injured, and then finally Paul has his leave. This difference is very trivial as it doesn't change anything significantly, however it is a pretty striking…

    Another noticeable change in the movie verses the book was the emphasis on the different characters. The main character was indisputably Michael Oher in both the book and the movie. However, the movie put a strong emphasis on Leigh Anne Touhy (who was played by Sandra Bullock) and presented her as the second most major character aside from Michael. The book, on the other hand, had a lot more facts about Sean that the movie never presented. Leigh Anne was a key player in both, but in the movie, she seemed to be so much more of a main character that the other characters that stood out in the book did not do so in the movie. The major example of that was Sean Touhy who seemed to be the first one to invest in Michael in the book unlike the movie where he played a more quiet and uninvolved role in Michael's life. There were other subtle differences that could be noticed, like having the necessary GPA for an NCAA scholarship be 2.5 (movie) instead of 2.56 (book) which led to another problem to work around, or having Michael's fight be with the gang members in his old neighborhood (movie) instead of with one of his teammates at Ole Miss (book). Overall, however, the movie attempted to portray an accurate account of the book which made it enjoyable to read and watch both.…

    When the characters were sad or happy, it seemed as if it was real and they weren’t just characters in a book. However in the movie it implies a different idea , because it didn’t seem to be as real as the book did explain it to be . It did come out as if it could have happened, but the way the actors acted their feelings out, it didn’t explain or express how they felt , when they were sad or happy. It seemed as they were trying too hard to act like they were heartbroken or scared or completely ecstatic. But whether the story comes from the pages of a book or a movie. They are full of similarity and differences, but in both, even though not everyone gets along in the beginning , the end is there to count…

    The book was better than the movie on account of it had way more details, and it had more parts in it than the movie did. It is extremely time-consuming to fit an entire book in a less than two hour long movie, but authors and readers can produce a book as long as you want. Although the movie took a shorter time to watch than reading the book did, the readers can retrieve more from a book than they can retrieve from watching a movie. Even in movies that into feeling by the book scene for scene there is still less detail in the movie than there is in the book.…

    “The Adventure of the Speckled Band by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a mystery story, was more interesting than its movie version because it has more details of the characters and places, that give you a better understanding of the story. In the book there are more details about the places that the characters go, so that helps you to get a better picture of what is going on. For example in the book It describes Stoke Moran as a decrepit ,old ,rundown estate, but in the movie the mansion is in pretty good condition the grounds are beautiful. Whereas in comparison the grounds in the book are dying and brown, so clearly the book has more detail about the places then the movie simply because it's longer and you can really picture what it looks like…
