The Help Book and Movie Differences

When you read a book you have it is a must to use your imagination to build the world of your book. A person must use their mind to be able to describe what they think a character may sound like, look like, mannerisms, clothes they would wear, and where they live. But when is comes to most movies, sadly the use of your imgaination is not needed. In the movie industry today it has become common practice to adept a book into a movie. But with the legnths most movies run, which is about an hour and a half to two hours you would not be able to include all the details of the book. So sadly you loose out on some of the content as well as plot changes from time to time. In the following paragraphs the differences between the movie and book will be examined as well as the possible reasons why the changes were made and how they effect the overall story and feelings we have for the characters.he help we get many details about the characters. We read about their height,body types, their style as well as a deep look at their personalties. The most misrepresented character in the book is Skeeter. While reading it is often stated that Skeeter is a tall awkward looking women with crazy curly hair who dosent seem to fit in with the other socialite girls in her group. But when it comes to the movie Skeeter is is not much taller then anyone else, dose not come off awkward at all and is very gorgeuous. Also in the book Skeeter brings Abelene books from the local library that she really wanted to read. While in the movie this does not happen which robs us of a deeper side of Abelenes inner preferences reading classics of the time other then just reading women magazines or other books of that type. Another segement of the book that was left out and hurts the overall movie is how Skeeter finds out about Constantine. While in the book there is a deep longing for Skeeter to find out the truth while in the movie it just pops at early in the movie.Movies can only be so long. Most everyday
