Recommended: Book and film comparisons

I have recently finished the book and movie The Westing Game. The book had more detail than the movie Get a Clue. They changed some of the characters and removed some of the character in the movie. I will talk about the characters and the movie. The Westing Game was a great book. The characters make a big difference in the movie and the book. One thing they both have in common is that Otis Amber and Berthe Erica Crow get married. And that Edgar Jennings Plum and Angela Wexler get engaged instead of Doctor Denton Deere. Also Jake Wexler is a gambler instead of being a bookie. Second there is more detail in the book than the movie. Well, I think that more detail is better because the more you know the better you understand the movie or

    “It is not what you have, it’s what you don’t have that counts.” (Raskin, p.175) A key quote from The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin. If the reader of The Westing Game chooses to watch the movie as well, they will notice major differences throughout the movie including the characters, plot, and setting. However, in all it’s many differences, similarities are found.

The Westing Game book and movie contain many similarities and differences that are worth analyzing closely.

    The book and movie were quite similar but there were also many differences. Some of the differences are that at the beginning of the book when George finds the mouse there already in the water and where they're going to stay the night so when he throws the mouse it lands in the water and when Lennie goes to get fire wood he goes into the water to get the mouse and then they have a talk about not keeping a dead mouse. Another difference that stood out to me was that when Carlson went to kill Candy’s dog and the day that Candy, George, and Lennie talk about living on their own ranch and being together was only one day not to like it was in the book.

    Personally I like the movie more than the book. It just gives more of the feeling that you are actually there in the story in the movie. The movie shows the faces they make how they react to something.It just planly better than the book verzion because the book verzion may say the facecial expresions, but you can’t see them like you can in the movie. There is some many reasons why the movies better I just can’t list them all.

    In conclusion, details involving the characters and symbolic meanings to objects are the factors that make the novel better than the movie. Leaving out aspects of the novel limits the viewer’s appreciation for the story. One may favor the film over the novel or vice versa, but that person will not overlook the intense work that went into the making of both. The film and novel have their similarities and differences, but both effectively communicate their meaning to the public.

    Some of the characters in the novel, like Lennie, are portrayed differently in the movie. In the novel, Lennie is said to be “a huge man” (2), but in the movie he isn’t very big, although he is bigger than George and some of the other characters. In the movie he is stronger and bigger than the others, but not to the extreme amount that the book portrays him to be. Also, Lennie is depicted as very mentally challenged, which is shown by the way he speaks. Whereas in the book, Lennie is said to have a mind of a young child instead of being disabled. As well as Lennie, Curley’s wife is represented a little bit differently. In the movie,...

    From reading the book and watching the movie, I think the book was more insightful, but the movie was more entertaining. The only problem with the movie is that you don't know what is going through Chance's mind and his background information. The movie does help make some things clearer by seeing it, instead of just picturing it in your mind. The added scenes in the movie helps to put some humor into the story and make it more entertaining. By just watching the movie, some people could be confused if they don't know some background on Chance. I think that by reading the book, you can understand the story better and by watching the movie you can enjoy the story better.
