“Differences and changes have to be made in order to make something better.” The book IT by Stephen King shows this statement. Especially when comparing the book to both of the movies. When reading this book and watching the movies the person doing so can see there are drastic differences. Such as the children's fears, the time period of the setting, as well as the flashbacks. There weren’t only differences there were some similarities as well like the opening scene and the overall theme of the book. As a whole, there were definitely more differences. To start off, in the book as well as both movies all three had pretty much the exact same opening scene. It started with the boat that George had made with his sick older brother Bill. The water was too fast and George couldn’t catch up to it. That is when the paper boat floated down into the sewer. This is when George meets the killer clown, he didn’t know would be the cause of his death. This is how all three start off. They meet the same way and George still ends up dying. …show more content…
One possible theme for this story line is “Working together to face your fears.” In the book as well as the movies you can see the main characters working together to overcome each personal fear. The clown Pennywise tries to beat them with their own personal fears thinking that the others will/can not help the others.They end up proving him wrong throughout each of the timelines. In each one the reader/watcher can see the protagonists overcome what is thrown at them by the antagonist and it’s thanks to all of them working
Comparing the book to the movie you can clearly tell what certain things are different. For example, Sydelle Pulaski worked for Mr. Westing in the movie but only talked over the intercom. This not only caused a lot of drama but more depth to the plot. Also, Crow didn’t go to jail but they did talk about most of the consequences of her going to jail. This made a little bit more serious and emotional instead of just letting it go.
Some things are different in the book and movie. Like Sunset Towers and Money in both versions. Sunset towers is luxurious in the book but a bad place to live downtown. The money the will was worth 200 million but in the movie it is worth 20 million. Another difference is that the Wexlers moved to Sunset Towers because they had no money, but in the book they moved because they had money. In the movie Jake Wexler is paying off his debt though they have money in the book. Jake Wexler is a
Was Sara’s and Brian’s choice to conceive Anna to be a genetic match for Kate morally justified?
Since there is a movie and book version of the story, there are both similarities and differences.
The biggest similarity between the book, and the movie is the theme. The theme in both the book, and the
The plot had some major differences as well as its similarities, for example, when Lydia was frightened by the lions and when Peter and Wendy "killed" their parents. The film did follow the same storyline and had the same plot but also had some slight differences here and there, for example ... In the story, George and Lydia found a wallet and a scarf in the nursery, but they found a purse in the movie. The children didn't land in the "space ship" and they didn't even mention the plastic carnival. There were no whining or jumping on couch's as referenced in the story when the kids heard the news about locking up the nursery, they just got mad and ran towards the nursery. When the Parents were supposedly chased by lions, Lydia wasn't crying, the story made it seem more dramatic than it appeared in the video. As well as Peter called George “George” in the movie instead of Father or Dad, this was not mentioned in the story, but it did show how he didn’t really think of George as his Dad. There were also a little foreshadowing at the end when George told Lydia to RIP “Rest in peace” then shortly after they
The similarities and differences between the movie and the book are endless. For example, one similarity is the plot, and two differences are the antagonists and the theme. The plots of High Noon and “The Most Dangerous Game” are both incredibly similar because the main characters of each story start
As well as the movie having some character differences, some of the scenes were either cut out or added. One of the major differences in the movie is that Candy never comes into the room when Lennie and Crooks are talking to each other. This is an important part in the novel because when Candy comes in, Crooks finds about their future plan wants to get in on the deal. Except this scene is cut short in the movie and Candy never shows up at Crooks’ house. Another important part that is changed in the movie is the ending. The movie never shows Lennie have the illusions of his Aunt Carla and the rabbits lecturing him while he is waiting by the pond. Also, is seems as though in the movie George doesn’t hesitate to shoot Lennie, and it is all over very quickly. Furthermore, the important scene when Slim tells George, “You hadda, George” (107), never happens in the movie, but instead it ends with an image coming from within George’s imagination, a memory of the many happy times that he and Lennie had shared. There are also some scenes that are added into the movie, but only because the novel is so short, they needed to add things to make the
Differences (stick with at least four)- Ponyboy has a good relationship with sodapop and gets along better with darry but still has a very good relationship with his brother. In the beginning of the book, Pony gets jumped by some Socs, but he doesn’t get cut with a knife. In the movie, they cut him. In the movie when ponyboy is talking to cherry he says how the sun on the south side and she says”good how bout the north.” In the book it's written west and east. Also in the movie johnny never got his first beating from the soc in the book he does. In the book it gave more detail and information in the movie it starts like in mid way of the book.
Here are some differences with the characters. Meg one of the main character's in the book has glasses and braces, but in the movie she doesn't have braces or glasses. Another main character is Charles-Walace and in the book he is five, doesn't go to school, and can't read, but in the movie he is six go's to school, and can read well. These are the differences
The 3 major differences that were seen are the shattering of the conch, the pilot’s presence, and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. Due to these major differences the novel left a greater impact on its readers than the movie on its viewers. Seeing the movie and as well reading the book, personally the book was a better. The book has a very different approach of that showed these 3 major differences to their full extent. Out of the two though, I would choose the book as more pleasant and
For instance, in the book Joppy knew Albright; Albright knew Todd Carter; Todd Carter knew Richard McGee as well as Matthew Terrell whereas in the movie every character denied knowing each other except Albright and Joppy. Another noticeable difference is that in the book Frank Green, Daphne’s brother ends up murdered and in the movie he lives and they both end up moving. The third noticeable difference is a character name change from the book to the movie; Matthew Teran in the book is Matthew Terrell in the movie and he ends up being murdered in the book whereas at the end of the movie he’s running for mayor. A fourth noticeable difference is the pier scene. In the book Albright and Easy meet at the Santa Monica pier and in the movie it is the Malibu pier. And the last most noticeable difference between the book and the movie is that Mouse knows Daphne Monet or shall we call her by her real name Ruby Hanks; however, in the movie the audience never finds that out. In the movie the only true thing you get to know about Daphne is that she is both black and white. Therefore, due to the many differences between the book and the movie it is confusing to the audience since it is almost like dealing with two different stories because of the plot inconsistencies.
CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE 1. How would you feel if your country only allowed you to have one child? In 1980, China set up the One-Child Policy, limiting most Chinese families to only one child. However, China ended this policy in 2015 and allowed families to have two children once again.
Another important key factor about Scott is his ability to be open to change. He develops this trait throughout the novel, not right away. The major example I found in the book that represents this, is his relationship with Wesley Cobble during the school year. At first, Scott fears Wesley, because he asks to “borrow” his lunch money, and looks very tough from the outside. “I’m not a complete wimp, and it’s not like I’ll never stand up for myself, but Wesley is flat out scary.” (Page 96.) As the story goes on, Scott continues to encounter Wesley who regularly approaches him for “donations.” But at one point, Scott and Wesley have a friendly chat in the office and Wesley ends up sitting next to Scott at lunch. Their “friendship” grows when Scott is told to “Hop in” Wesley’s Mustang. Wesley ends up taking Scott to school every day, and they become good friends. Wesley helped open Scott to accept that change is good, and it becomes an important value to him. Scott makes new friends, and realizes that he won’t always have the same friends from middle school.
The book and movie are completely different. It 's like comparing apples and oranges. (I 'm assuming that you used the newest version with Guy Pierce). The biggest difference is probably the ommision of Haydee and Maximillien and Valentine (three of the main character) and the addition of Jacapo. Jacapo does is in the book, but he is never a large character.
