The novel and movie, “Into The Wild” are extremely similar and different in that there are scenes left out of the movie that would have been an important aspect to the film as well as scenes added into the movie that were either not exceptionally important or were not apart of Christopher McCandless’ life story. The novel and movie have a countless number of similarities. In both the movie and novel the main character, Christopher McCandless is set out on an adventure into the wild which leads to both consuming poisonous berries and starvation which are the cause of his death. Both stories were told with the scenes or chapters being narrated and transitioned in past and present. The two stories were strong and important factors in depicting …show more content…
Tracy is a teenage girl who displays an attraction towards Chris which he declines due to the fact that she is far too young for him. Then, Christopher meets an elderly and retired man, Ron Franz, who develops a close bond with Chris. Ron eventually wants to adopt Christopher but he requests that they will speak about the topic when he returns from Alaska. The novel is more about the life of Christopher and his devotion to his last adventure rather than presenting the many different relationships Christopher experienced which was viewed in the movie. The book was told by Christopher’s point of view while in the movie Christopher’s sister, Carine, narrates the film. There were also many scenes that were either added or not included from the novel. In the movie, Christopher cut up all of his identification cards while in the book he leaves a great deal of his belongings with Jim Gallien. A scene that was withdrawn from the film that would have made a substantial impact on the audience was the three Alaskan rangers discovering Christopher’s body in the bus as well as his parents did not come to Alaska to claim the body. Another scene that was also deserted from the book was the climbing of devil’s thumb. Jon Krakauer, author of “Into the
The first similarity and difference I found was In the movie was that there is a witch in the movie and no witch in the book. Along with this, there is a friend of Kino’s who dies. This is important to the story because he was the man who was going to sail with Kino to the capital. Overall, the characters in the movie that weren’t in the book affected the plot. One
Buck lives in Judges Millers estate at the beginning of both the book and the movie. He is then kidnapped by Manuel, the gardener. He is sold to dog salesmen heading to Alaska. He is disciplined by the Law of Club and Fang. The man in the red sweater takes Buck out of the cage and repeatedly beats him. Buck continues to try to attack until he is to week to fight.

In both the novel and the movie Kenny wanted to brave and go swimming with the whool pooh. Another major similarities is the church bombing. Well Joetta was at Sunday school a bomb went off. Kenny was outside and heard a lound noise. The whole family went to see if Joetta was ok.
Although most individuals argue that the “books are always better than the movies” or “the movies never follow the book,” In The Legend of Sleepy Hollow the Disney movie is actually quite similar to the book. Despite bearing some minor differences, the book and movie version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow are remarkably similar.
The novel and the movie share many similarities.The book and the novel share the same problems. A example johnny and pony run away since johnny killed bob.In both johnny gets injured badly and dies.
In the Of Mice and Men movie and novel the introduction moods and details have multiple similarities and differences. To start there are more details in the beginning of the movie. In the movie we start off seeing two men running away from a lady with a ripped dress and the men chasing them. Compared to the exposition of the novel where we start off with two men who “had walked single file down the path,” (page 2) a few miles south of Soledad. I feel that in the book you had to use your imagination to create more details due to the very discrete opening. Due to the details being very different in the movie compared to the novel, the moods were also much different. When we opened the movie we were greeted by a very ominous and energetic start
There are other significant similarities between the movie and the book, so if I overlooked or forgot any extremely crucial points, forgive me.
Into the Wild happens to be my favorite book, and also one of my favorite movies. Most people like one or the other, but I think the two complement each other because of the varied stances taken on the main character himself. In case you’re not familiar, Into the Wild is based on the true story of Chris McCandless who, after graduating with honors from Emory University in 1990, gave his entire savings of twenty-four thousand dollars to charity and set off following his dream of living off the land in the Alaskan wilderness. McCandless made it to Alaska, but died shortly after taking residence in an abandoned bus; he probably passed from eating the wrong deadly plant or possibly from starvation. The book was
There are also many similarities between the book and the movie as well. One would be the theme of both the movie and the book which is that greed causes people to do horrible things. For example, when Juana tried to throw Kino’s pearl into the ocean, Kino tore the pearl back from her and beat her. Another thing the book and the movie have in common is that Coyotito dies in the end. This is critical because when Coyotito dies that is when Kino realizes the evil of the pearl and that he must get rid of it. It
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.
Chris McCandless and Buck serve as examples of the archetype of the wild through their experiences of leaving where they feel most comfortable and answering the call of the wild. They show that each experience is inimitable because the wild is unique to every individual. For Buck, the wild is a place outside of civilization and his dependence on man, where the external threats of nature exist and he must prove himself as a true animal with instincts for survival. In McCandless' case, the place outside of civilization is actually an escape from his fears because the wild for him is in relationships, where the threat of intimacy exists and he must learn to trust others for happiness. This is because for each of us, the wild is what we
Both share the same plot, and there are very little differences between the two. These are a few of the differences that I was able to notice between the book and the movie. There are several others throughout the story, but they are all just as minute and in the end they have no effect on the outcome of the story. Overall, I was very impressed with the movie and it was very true to the book. I have seen my share of movies that were adaptations from books that did not do the book justice, but this one is almost exactly like the book, so it was very
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
The similarity between the film and the story is that when Victor died and when Thomas try to help him out with money.

The third similarity between the movie and the short story is Thomas and Victor conversation when they arrive from Arizona. Their conversation was about where they going to throw Victor dadś ashes and how they gonna feel like.
Into the Wild is a documentary film by Sean Penn that follows the life of Christopher Johnson McCandless, a vagabond who tramped across the United States for two years before his journey led him to Alaska, where he lived in the wilderness, sheltered by an abandoned transportation bus, preceding his death. McCandless grew up with all the privileges of being raised in the suburbs by a middle class family, he later went on to graduate from Emory University in Georgia, and seemed to have his whole life stretched out in front of him. However, he did the exact opposite of what was expected, severed all ties with his family, and adopted a life of chosen homelessness, where his travels led him on wild adventures across the country. Many speculate that McCandless was pushed to do this in order to spite his overbearing and abusive parents who verbally and physically assaulted each other in front of their children, demanding they pick a side. Some say it was McCandless’s desire to free himself from all material constraints and the burden of societal pressures. Taking a psychological approach, McCandless
