Many people assume that the book and movie of the same story are always very similar, but they are incorrect. In my comparison of the short story Rikki-tikki-tavi by Rudyard Kipling and the movie of Rikki-tikki-tavi, I found them to be rather different. There were many minor differences, but the three main topics in the short story that clearly differentiate it from the movie are the setting, the character traits, and the use of humor. The setting in the movie differs from the setting in the short story in a few ways. The setting in the movie dives into larger detail in many of the scenes such as in the beginning flood scene. The flood scene setting in the movie reveals an eerie, strong, storm with a flood that resembles a river and …show more content…
From the very beginning, the character traits in the movie differ from those portrayed in the short story. The ways in which they differ include the various switched roles of characters and other aspects including age and clothing. One of the switched roles is right in the beginning of the movie when the father lifts up Rikki from the sand, whereas in the short story the mother picks him up. Another switched role would be when Darzee’s wife explains what happened to their baby egg that was eaten by Nag, but in the short story Darzee does the explaining. One last switched role I came across was how Nag is the instigator who wanted to take over the garden, but in the story it is Nagaina. Some other differences include the age of Teddy and the clothing of the family. In the short story, Rudyard Kipling creates Teddy as a young toddler, using words such as “nursery” to describe the room where he sleeps, but in the movie Teddy appears to be almost ten years old with his fancy clothing and tall height. Surprisingly, the family in the movie wears very nice, neat clothing. This is surprising because of the way Rudyard Kipling describes the setting. With sand, dirt, and a garden, you would presume that it would be a humid climate, which would result in the wearing of sandals and shorts. However, in the movie
The setting is based in towns in both the movie and book. However, the book’s setting was in a rural France and the movie takes place in a modern suburban in America. The time period in the book was 1640 and the time in the movie was in present day.
The movie and book of Rikki Tikki Tavi have similarities and differences, for instance, in the book when they find Rikki Tikki Tavi mother came and picked up Rikki Tikki Tavi. In the movie when they find Rikki Tikki Tavi father came and picked up Rikki Tikki Tavi. Rikki Tikki Tavi’s book and movie both have similarities, but they also occasionally have their differences with the characters, the
First, the characters, in this story they’re five main characters, one of them being George Hadley, the father, George is striker in the story and consistent with his decision, and Lydia Hadley, the mother was really paranoid but became more laid back towards the end. In the movie though they switched roles. George was not consistent with his decisions and was very easygoing at the start of
Have you ever read a book then went to go see the movie. Then felt one was much better than the other.The book where the red fern grows is somewhat similar to the movie. Then also very different from each other. If you ever compared the book where the red fern grows to the movie. You can tell that they have left out a lot of details in the movie. Then they make it a lot less emotional.
Ricky tikki-tavi the movie is more cute, animated, garden was huge and Dose not show the death of the snakes. I thought that the picture was going to be realistic, less of a garden, show the death of the snakes, get Ricky meat to eat. The book was very similar to the movie. The book said word for word with the movie, but did not rhyme with the book when the bird sang Nags death song. In the book you can picture all the characters and their actions. Unlike the movie you can’t picture their actions are their and you can’t change them. The voices you expected in the book are nothing like the
Many say that no movie can ever compare to a book, especially when the book concerned is a classic. Rudyard Kipling’s Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is an interesting short story concerning a mongoose rescued by an English family living in India. The mongoose, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, protects the family that saved his life from two cobras, Nag and Nagaina, that are terrorizing the garden surrounding the bungalow. Both the book and movie revolve around this struggle between mongoose and cobra, but there are certain details that can change the way the story is seen.
The main similarities between the story and the film is, that they both share the same conflict of the birds attacking. In both to defend themselves against the birds, they go to shelter and board up the windows. The birds also attack in waves, then they regather themselves
There is also some characters that you can only find in one of the versions. In the story written by Mark Twain, you will find a dog by the name of Andrew Jackson. You never hear about him in the play version. When you go and see the play edition there is a girl who you never really meet granted you never meet
There are many similarities and some minor differences between the movie, directed by Claude Chabrol, and the short story it is based off of, written by Guy de Maupassant. The plot, setting, and characters are all highly similar in both the story and the film. In both, the plot follows the same scheme, it is set in Paris in the 1880’s, and all of the main characters are the same. The major difference that stood out to me is how these aspects are displayed at the beginning of the narrative.
Young men who are sent to a war learn the reality in a very harsh and brutal way. Both the stories, ‘The Red Convertible’ and ‘The Things They Carried’ portray the life of a young soldier and how he psychologically gets affected from all the things he had seen in the war. Tim O’Brien’s ‘The Things They Carried,’ is more specific on the experiences of a soldier during a war where as Karen Louise Erdrich focuses more on describing the post war traumatic stress in her short story ‘The Red Convertible’. One thing similar in both the narrations is the Vietnam War and its consequences on the soldiers. From the background of both the authors it’s easy to conclude that Tim O’Brien being a war veteran emphasizes more on the
Foremost, it is very recognizable that the overall flow of the story is same, but most of the plot events are not the same. Though, there were same events happening in both novel and the movie. For example, in both
The plot and the setting of book and movie are very similar. There was a lot of thins borrowed from the book, but there was a lot changed as well. The movie followed the plot of book very closely and portrayed the setting of the book very well. A lot of the dialogue was borrowed and spoken directly as it was in the book.
To begin with the first difference between the movie and the novel is poor character development, and how the character are shown differently in both the novel and the movie. When Gene goes to Leper’s home town, he finds him shell shocked. When Gene gets the telegram letter and goes to
I think in the book it makes the setting of the jungle seem dark like no sun and crowded in the jungle. The movie shows the the jungle bright and big. Also in the book made me visualize the council rock was on flat ground. But in the movie council rock is on a hill in the sun .
Normally, when a movie is made about a story in a book the two stories are not exactly the same. The movie is adjusted by adding small details or leaving out some parts in order to make the story more
