Charles Dickens' Great Expectations
At the beginning of the story written by Charles Dickens we hear Philp
Pirrip (Pip) in read a small paragraph that seems to have know
relevance at first, but it all becomes clear as we read the story. In
this paragraph we hear Pip describe himself. In the second paragraph
we see that the setting has changed and now Pip in is a graveyard
looking at his mothers and fathers gravestone. Pip mentions that there
is one gravestone that has his fathers names on it and by the under it
is the name of his mother. He says that there is a neat row beside the
gravestone of five little gravestones that are in memory of his
brothers that died. Pip who now is feeling sorry begins to cry and
from among the gravestone comes a voice.
“Hold your noise!” cried a terrible voice. “Keep still you little
devil, or ill cut your throat”
This comes from a fearful man in course grey with a great iron on his
leg. The man grabs at Pip and asks for his name. “Tell us your name!”
Said the man “Quick!”
“Pip sir” Once more said the man stirring at me
“Give it mouth!”
“Pip sir Pip” the man asked to see where Pip lives and Pip had know
chance but to tell the unknown man. The man turned Pip upside down and
emptied his pockets. Nothing was in them apart from a piece of bread
and after this the man asked about Pip family.
Pip tells him that his mother and father are dead and he now lives
with sister. Pip tells the convict that his sister’s husband is a
blacksmith. This suddenly gets the convicts attention and he asked Pip
to get him a file and whittles (food). With pip helpless and sat on
his mothers and fathers gravestone he promises to been back the next
day the file and the food.

...Although we don’t hear as much speaking at the
start of the film and the words have been altered when the convict has
hold of Pip.
On the whole I believe that all of the films and the book are very
good. I prefer the newer version of the film to the book or the 1940s
film. This is because of the added camera angles and the extra visual
effects. However I think that my opinion corresponds to my age, if you
where to ask an older person I think that they would give a completely
different opinion. I find the later version of the film to be better
but I think that it could be improved if it stuck closer to the
original. The better visual effects and sounds effects all add up to
give a better story line. However the graveyard seen should have been
more informative to what the convict wants Pip to get for him before
it shows Pip getting them for the convict.
After analyzing the reading, a few things seems to be causing this issue. First, Gobias Industries recently underwent a change which made each division a separate entity. The change caused job mobility to plummet. Communication between each division halted. The pool of job opportunities and work location transfers decreased for the employees of each location. Without communication between the divisions, employees found it difficult to hear of job opportunities at other location. The employees became limited to only the opportunities offered at their location. Secondly, the job opportunities at each division also decreased with the introduction of new technology. The technology began taking over the majority of work for many entry-level jobs. The work left for employees to do became low complexity and low effort therefore, were compensated less. The wages for these entry-level jobs became stagnant. These jobs then became boring, less attractive, and scarce. With the decrease in jobs, a decrease in the opportunity for promotion also exist. Thirdly, the new technology also caused job evaluations to become outdated and incorrect. If recruiters are misrepresenting the jobs during recruitment, then employees will be highly unlikely to stay with that job for long especially if the job does not pay well and has little room for promotion. In order to fix the issue of high turnover, Sudden Valley Works needs to redo their job analysis and revamp their recruiting. These solutions will help with job turnover as well as reaching their goals of retention and employment of more women and minority groups. Recruiting should include a broader market and leadership personality assessments. Previous recruiting techniques were targeted at engineers with the highest GPAs however, with the new technology, a high-level of educated employees are not longer needed. A high
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
The film is a fairly faithful adaptation of the book. The amateurish style of the book gives it some appeal as a more sleek and sophisticated style wouldn’t evoke a sense of angst’ desperation and confusion that the novel does.
The film was a very good adaptation of a great book. It is a wonderful
The main expectation that I have for this book is that it will relate in some way to the movie, although as book are generally better than the movie, I hope that this is the same for this book. I also hope that the book is interesting throughout, and doesn’t slowdown in the middle, similar
The book had a lot of thought put into it by the author and it appeals to many audiences of different ages. The book put me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole book, and it was one of those books that you never want to put down. The way the author wrote it had quite a suspenseful, eerie, dramatic feel to it and that is what made the book so great, on top of the plot. The plot of the book was also very well thought out and put together, and I enjoyed reading it. Although the movie was great, I don’t think that it did the book enough justice. There were so many great aspects of the book that they left out, that would’ve made the movie just that much better. They should have put in some of the missing scenes and still portrayed the characters the same as they were in the book. However, I think that it would be hard to create the same feel as Ray Bradbury did in writing the book. It was the way that he connected with his audience that made the book appealing. Both the book and the movie were fantastic ways of portraying the story. If they had kept all of the scenes and properties of characters as they did in the book, the movie would have appealed to me more. But, the movie version of the story could appeal to others more than the book
Almost everything that I noticed while watching the movie was spot on to the book. One thing that was sure to grab my attention was the scene with Mary Warren and Abigail in the court where Mary attempts to convince the whole court that Abigail is lying. The group of girls follow
The movie is, most likely, done well enough to intrigue its intended audience. It captured the theme and story line of the book. It falls short, though, when compared to the beautiful, sensitive and contemplative prose of Natalie Babbitt. One could only hope that a viewing of the film will lead the watcher to try the book and be delighted all the more.
The book and the movie were both very good. The book took time to explain things like setting, people’s emotions, people’s traits, and important background information. There was no time for these explanations the movie. The book, however, had parts in the beginning where some readers could become flustered.
To start off, the development of the characters diverges between each. In the book, the characters are essentially representations of important thoughts and themes. For example, Curley, a character in the book who is out to get Lennie, is married, and his wife’s name is never revealed. It is intentional and meant to represent the discrimination against women during the time period the novel is set in, the Great Depression. In the movie, you are unable to catch on to these little details. Nevertheless, the film has good qualities. You can clearly see the strong bond between the main characters in the movie much more than in the book. Regardless of the trouble Lennie causes, George cannot and never will abandon him. In addition, the emotions that some of the characters acquire are more distinct in the movie. Candy, another character in the book, is evidently in pain, sorrow, and regret when he lets another character kill his old dog. On the whole, all the characters are portrayed amazingly.
This is my view on the movie and book. I likes the movie better the book because the
I like the reading book better than watching the movie because there are more facts in the book than the movie. Maybe I just like reading books better than watching movies. That’s my opinion. What’s yours (if you’ve read the book and seen the movie)?
High turnover rate of minorities and female employees has become a serious issue in the United States. Even though many ethnic races form this country, male Anglo-Saxons dominate the majority of the workforce. It is not uncommon for minority and female employees to leave their company after only working for a few years. Why has this behavior become a trend? In order to stop this trend, companies must ask themselves several questions. For example, what are the issues causing the high turnover rate? What legal and ethical issues are the companies facing? After these questions have been asked and processed, solutions must be implemented to change the flow of the trend.

In closing I feel that the book did a much better job than the film of illustrating the life of Wolff. The book made Toby’s relationship with his mother and the men that were in their life much more dramatic.
