The differences between William Golding’s allegorical novel Lord of the Flies and its film adaptation are evident.

Westing Game book and movie‚ “Get a Clue” are quite similar and different from each other. In my opinion‚ the book was more appealing to read than to watch the movie. It was long‚ suspenseful and frequently changed point of view between characters. Instead‚ the movie was short‚ straight-forward‚ and focused mainly on Turtle Wexler. Although the plot‚ characters that remained‚ and storyline were similar. The similarities between the book and the movie were that the ten out of sixteen book characters

Gale Ann A. Sayson John Grisham’s books are usually described as “legal thrillers”. He does share with the world the conscience of a critic and the soul of a preacher. He is able to entertain you in his stories which makes you much more of a viewer than a reader.

Movie Analysis: “A time to kill (1996) “ The movie shows some important social and ethical issues but the main theme of the movie is racism between white and black. The setting is in Mississippi where black have limited rights with justice due to racist society. Therefore‚ racism reflects on a person how he is known and treated. Racism existed very long years ago and still exist until present time. I think racism will not end unless there is still a domination of white against black.

In addition to being a masterpiece of dramatic literature‚ it has become a classic love tragedy with Romeo and Juliet becoming archetypical young lovers. The actual story is believed to be borrowed by Shakespeare
