As with most movies spun off of books‚ the Joy Luck Club was very different from the paperback. I had seen the movie beforehand‚ so I already knew this‚ and was ready to look for distinct differences. Many things were left out‚ some things were out of place‚ and some things were even changed. There was a lot of information that was left behind in the making of the movie. For instance‚ the whole “Moon Lady” chapter was completely absent. The viewer also never learns how Ying-Ying St. Clair’s husband

Very few good books translate successfully to a good movie adaptation and most people who both read Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card and watched the subsequent movie adaptation count Ender’s Game among the many rather than the few book to film adaptations. Almost every character changedt from the book to the movie in regards to either personality‚ physical appearance‚ or their given amount of screen time.

stories behind the characters: Florence‚ John’s Aunt‚ Gabriel‚ John’s stepfather‚ and Elizabeth‚ John’s mother. This story is told through both a movie and a book and though they both have the same story line‚ there are also many differences.

reading the book late into the night‚ thinking about Philip as if he were a close friend‚ and then hurrying home after school to discover what was happening to him. About one-third into the story‚ I took a red ink pen and began underlining passages that spoke to me. What the author was writing was right on target‚ he was describing my feelings at the time of anger at God‚ disillusionment‚ frustration‚ love. Even though the book had been published in 1915‚ decades before I was born‚ the book described

Ender’s Game is asking if it is morally correct to train a child for war. In the end though‚ the novel shows a more fitting message than the movie portrays it. After viewing/reading the movie and book Ender’s Game there are many slight or major changes‚ most notably‚ the endings are very different‚ yet similar in certain aspects . Furthermore‚ the movie concludes
