    The book is superior to the film in many ways. Both of these versions of the story are very well fulfilled, however I believe that book has more detail and explains the story better. The book is superior to the film because the author described various facets of Amir’s emotional world, it showed Baba dying, and included important parts of the struggle Amir and Sohrab went through to get to America together.…

    Have you ever watched a movie that was made off of a book, but the movie was better? Well if you have ever watched and read Forrest Gump, you would find out that the movie has well surpassed the book. In both stories the main character Forrest Gump goes through a series of misfortunate events that eventually turn him into an American hero and millionaire. In each event of his life he meets new people and befriends them due to his kindness and stupidity. This also could be for the reason of feeling bad for him, but is not mentioned in either story. Even though he has an IQ of below normal, he still can be very smart in certain categories. With these hints of genius he would be considered an idiot savant. In other words he is “An intellectually disabled person who exhibits extraordinary ability in a highly specialized area….”(www.thefreedictionary.com/idiot+savant). The idiot savant figure has been used in other novels besides Gump though. For an example, Cervantes’ Don Quixote, Voltaire’s Candide, Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot, and Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men (Domino, 2).…
