Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton is superior to Steven Spielberg's movie version. Reading the book by Michael Crichton it was a very interactive book with the science behind the park; Steven Spielberg’s movie briefly goes over the science. Throughout the book version of Jurassic park by Michael Crichton its very superior through the way he tells the story making all scenes full of action that allow your mind to envision different scenes easily. Spielberg’s version cuts out many of the bigger scenes that take up most of the book that are action packed.
Stephen Spielberg’s movie leaves out lots of important plots described in Michael Crichton’s book in many places throughout his movie. In the beginning of the book a little girl is attacked which added

Spielberg describes in the movie “When Mike had first reached Tina, she was screaming hysterically. (15) Her whole arm was bloody, covered with a profusion of small bites, each the size of a thumbprint; and there were flecks of sticky foam on her arm, like a foamy saliva” (15). When Spielberg takes Tina out of the movie the importance of the knowing that the dinosaurs have made it to the mainland is not relevant to the movie anymore.
Action is what Crichton likes to focus on in a lot of his books. Every scene throughout the book always has an importance to the next. One of the biggest scenes takes up a large part of the book, it's actioned packed and leads to what happens next in the book. Crichton describes the scene “The tyrannosaur threw its head back and opened its jaws wide, showing rows of curved teeth, and then in a great muscular spasm lunged forward to
While some differences between the print version and the film version of Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson are noticeable, the similarities are striking. The film left out many details from the book, I guess to make the atmosphere more suspenseful.
Into the Wild is a log on the experiences of a young traveler by the name of Christopher McCandless. His story is revealed only in the trail he left behind as he was on his mission to escape society. McCandless’ story is featured in both book, written by Jon Krakauer, and movie, directed by Sean Penn, both presenting the path taken by McCandless up into his final venture into the Alaskan wilderness, while the movie is based on the book by Krakauer, Penn is able to tie in his own ideas about the events leading up to Chris McCandless’ death creating a new view on the subject. The major difference between novel and movie lie in the characterization of Chris McCandless. In the book Krakauer states that he does his best to keep the story as
The book Percy Jackson and the movie are different in many ways, but also have many similarities.

In the sound of thunder, Eckels steps on a butterfly while he is in the past, and when he is back in the present things, like the outcome of the election, have changed. In Jurassic park they bring back dinosaurs and that resulted in people dying and the dinosaurs getting out. The biggest difference is that the butterfly effect wouldn’t have happened in the Sound of Thunder, if Eckels had just stayed on the path. In Jurassic Park, that was not the case. It was not Dr. Grant's fault that Hammond decided to bring dinosaurs back.

In every other situation when comparing movie versions to story versions of a text, critics continuously demand that novels are dramatically more interesting than films. However, in the case of the original “Jaws” movie and book, I believe the argument is the other way around. Although the book includes a drastic amount of events that are not shown in the movie I found the book to be a bit less interesting. The amount of differences between the two versions of “Jaws” make them seem like two completely different stories.
The book the call of the wild, the theme Learned to not steal. Charlie is in the movie but not in the book, things went different in the movie.

The differences between the film and the novel follows: Both the novel and the film include the same main characters but he is portrayed differently in the film.
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
There are many similarities and differences between the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling and the movie Matilda directed by Danny Devito. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is about how Harry goes to his nasty aunt and uncle’s house because his parents died from Lord Voldemort, and then he gets a invitation to go to Hogwarts, when he goes he has to face many adventures with his new friends. In Matilda she gets adopted by a family that don’t even love her like they should, and she goes to school and she meets some new friends and she has many adventures there. One difference that Harry Potter has that Matilda doesn’t is the theme of the book, the theme of the book is friends always come back.
I was expecting the book The Jungle Book to be quite different from the movie The Jungle Book, they were actually quite similar to each other. Throughout the book I found all the characters the same as well as their personalities. I found Baloo, a big lazy and silly bear that teaches Mowgli how to live in the jungle a be a wolf. I found this true when Baloo was laying down during the council meeting and spoke for Mowgli to help him stay in the jungle. Another character in the book that was similar to the one in the movie is Shere Kahn. In both the book and the movie, he displayed a desire to eat Mowgli a fear of fire. For example, in the movie, Mowgli tied Shere Kahn's tail to a burning stick and scared Shere Kahn away just as in the book when
People read books. People read books all the time. Some people don’t like books, others love to travel through the adventure of them. Books are a part of life and no matter what route you take you will encounter books. Books open people up to a new world of goblins, ghosts, and civilizations fighting each other over a bag of bread. Books give emotions and have people go through states of suspense, thriller, action, and so much more. In this book, Jurassic Park, I did experience a lot of those emotions and realized the adventure the book took me through. I mainly chose the book for the reasons of action, and suspense because those really touched my heart in such a way, in such a passion. So let's get on with it!
