Comparing The Book And Movie Kidnapped

"Ah!" states he, falling again to smiling, "I found my wastefulness from the same man I found the buttons from; and that was my poor father, Duncan Stewart, grace be to him! He was the prettiest man of his kindred; and the best swordsman in the Hielands, David, and that is the same as to say, in all the world, I should Ken, for it was him that taught me. He was in the Black Watch, when first it was mustered; and, other gentlemen privates, had a gillie at his back to carry his firelock for him on the march. Well, the King, it appears, was wishful to see Hieland swordsmanship; and my father and three more were chosen out and sent to London town, to let him see it at the best. This quote means that Alan doesn't come from a long line of Jacobites! Alan is a brave man, and Alan is the one that saved Davie from getting kidnapped. The fact that he believes the King of England was not the rightful king at the time, Alan still takes pride in the fact that his father performed feats of fencing in front of him. Alan wants to be alike his father, and wants his father to be the king again. The purpose this essay is to represent the difference and similarities between the book and movie, Kidnapped.

The movie gave me a visual of the character’s journey’s and emotions. Furthermore, it grabbed my attention more. The movie adds in more characters than the book did. For instance, a lady named Maddie, started to help Davie find his way back home. However, in a plot twist, Maddie went to steal money from Davie, however, she wound up with a bag of rocks. Davie must had known that Maddie was not really going to help him and was just a thief. The movie was far more entertaining and clearly holds dominance over the novel. In this essay I showed you the differences and similarities between the book and movie, Kidnapped, and how this impacted my interest in the

    There isn't really many comparing factors between the book and the movie but some are that Hannah opens the door to let in the prophet Elijah in both the book and the movie. Hannah tells stories to the women and children in her barrack in both the book and the movie and I think that those stories is probably what kept most of them alive throughout the movie. Rivka survives in both the book and the movie because Hannah wanted her to get out so she took her place to go into the gas chambers. Rivka later gets out of the amps and changes her name to Eva like she said she would in the movie to Hannah. Rivka later becomes Hannah's aunt Eva in both the book and the movie. Hannah goes to die for rivka in both the book and the movie. The contrast…

    The length and depth of the book might produce a movie has many deleted or developed events. This change can lead to different results: add more excitement to the story or unclear point to the viewers. The limited time of movies, which is mostly 1.5- 3 hours, force the director to do editing and delete many parts of the movie.

    There are more characters, and the plot stays the same for the most part, which is excellent, since the plot was extremely interesting and did not need any changes. The novel and the movie are different, with few similarities. Usually, the novel is worse than the movie, although this duo is an exception. Take Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan for example. In the movie, they took out some extremely important parts, like how Percy met Ares, the god of war, on the beach and defeated him in a bloody battle. He even injured Ares, which is pretty much impossible, considering he is a god. So, this is something that doesn’t happen often. The film is almost never better than the novel. This duo is unique, and that is what I love about it. Overall, the novel Kidnapped is better than its partnering…
