Aaron Hiles We read the story “ Klondike Fever, the Famous Gold Rush of 1898”, by Michael Cooper and watched a movie, “ Klondike Fever”, based on Jack London’s adventures. There, were many differences with the characters,the plot,the climax,and resolution. There were a few similarities in the settings. The movie was more entertaining than the informational text. Most of the characters were different when we compared the movie and the text, however, the setting was similar. The setting of the movie is mostly outside of Dawson, while the text, the setting takes place in the Klondike region. While the only character that was the same in both was the head of the North West Mounted Police, Samuel B Steel. The characters in both the text and the movie went to the Klondike region to get rich. In both, some people went to the area to mine gold, and in the meantime, some went to profit from the miners by selling the miners goods. In the text, the characters seemed to share food, cabins and gold strike locations; however, the characters seemed greedy and …show more content…
In the movie, there was a scene with a man brutally training sled dogs, however in the text the author only mentioned the price of the dogs rocketing up from fifty dollars to several hundred dollars. In the movie, prospectors were gambling, but in the text the author mentioned them buying food and supplies in Dawson, nothing about gambling. In the movie, characters built the boat from the trees they cut down in the forest, so they could travel on the river. However, in the text, the only boats mentioned, were the steamboats that travelers used to get to the Klondike gold town. In the movie, Jack London’s friend, Sloper was shot and killed; meanwhile in the text, none of the characters were killed. In conclusion, the movie and the text were very different probably because the movie was somewhat fictional to make it more entertaining, while the text was
With both the movie and the book there were similarities and differences involving the names of the characters. Justice Wargrave was known as Author Cannon in the movie. Also, Vera Claythorne was Ann Clyde. Another difference is Philip Lombard was Charles Morman in the movie. However, there were some similar names, Mr. Blores’ name continued to stay the same as well as Dr. Armstrong.
The story of Rikki-tikki by Rudyard Kipling is a great one, so great that there is a movie made after the book. The Movie follows the story of the book, but there are differences. The differences are very small, and don’t change the story’s theme. There are more similarities between the story and the movie them there are differences, however.
The thrilling book The Summer of the Monkeys by Wilson Rawls and the movie by Walt Disney are alike in some ways but drastically different in other ways. There were different characters, endings and beginnings, and even different plot organization.
While watching the movie, I could see that the main characters in the book, both their names and traits, were the same in both the movie and book. However, aside from that there were many different as...
Overall, the movie and book have many differences and similarities, some more important than others. The story still is clear without many scenes from the book, but the movie would have more thought in it.
To begin, there are many similarities and differences in the characters personalities. One similarity would be Aunt polly not having the hear Tom when he was being naughty in both the book and the movie. Another similarity would be Huck and Tom always acting michiviouse they’re always going on adventures and causing trouble for adults. One difference would be Huck in the movie seemed a little self centered, he seemed that way because when he had the chance to help Muff he didn’t want to because he was scared he would be killed by Injun Joe. Another difference would be Muff seemed more caring in the movie like when he was telling stories to the kids and he took them in the cave which made you feel a little sorry ...
To Kill a Mockingbird is a phenomenal book that portrays life in the South during the 1930’s. This poverty stricken time, in which many struggled to get through, seemed to never grow dull by the means of the Finch family. Harper Lee’s award winning book was captured in a film containing the same title. Although the movie was in black and white and average in length, it lived up to the vivid story depicted within many pages. This worldwide hit reached many minds, but it is up to the people to decide which one is better: the book or the movie.
There were many differences in the book compared to the movie. One of the differences was in the movie Dawson has always known of Amanda, but truly introduced himself to her when he was working at a restaurant, in the book they started as lab partners. Another thing that was different was in the movie the director made it seem that Dawson killed Bobby Cole, which was not even a character in the book, when in the book he killed a doctor in a car accident. In both the movie and the book, Tuck dies and has Amanda and Dawson reunite in Oriental where they look back on the memories they made when they dated in high school.
The movie and the story had some of the same characters but some weren't exactly the same. The movie introduced many different characters and changed some of the others. For example, the movie had the plant lady and had the mentor of Anderton as the founders of Precrime while in the book, Anderton was the only founder of Precrime. Also, Witwer wasn't blond he had black hair and Kapler wasn't named Kapler he was named Crow. In the story they had the red head Fleming who did not exist
For example, Mama goes to the bank in the movie and is given a hard time about paying her mortgage, but this did not happen in the book. Another major difference is that the school bus scene, where the Logan kids played a trick on the white kids, was not shown in the movie, even though it was an important part of the story. There are some character changes as well. Lillian Jean, Jeremy, R.W, and Melvin are Simms’ in the book, but in the movie they are Kaleb Wallace’s children. However, the main plot difference is how the movie starts in the middle, summarizing everything from the first part of the book very briefly. Additionally, many scenes are switched around and placed out of order. Altogether, the plot and character changes contribute to my unfavorable impression of the
There are very few differences between the Book and the Film of To Kill A Mockingbird. But one of the few differences that you can’t miss is in the film there are several characters that were never introduced such as Mr.Dolphus Raymond, Aunt Alexandria, Uncle Jack, Miss Caroline, Cousin Francis, Miss Gates, and Aunt Rachel. Also in the film they left out some scenes such as the scene where it snows in Maycomb and Miss Maudie 's house burns down. A few similarities in both the novel and the film, first similarity is that Scout Finch is the narrator in both. Another key similarity is the story takes place in Maycomb, Alabama.
The similarities are quite apparent, the movie plot mainly follows the basic plot that the book took, leaving the viewer’s with a sense of accomplishment, as this is sometimes not achieved in the highest degree. Scout still has a brother, Jem. They both still meet Dill and have a few adventures with him throughout the film. Jem and Scout still have a single father, Atticus, having lost their mother many years ago. Calpunia is still their cook. And the whole story still has an overpowering sense of focusing on two main stories, Boo Radley (Arthur Radley) and Tom Robinson’s trial.
It was the perfect rags to riches story that would drive miners through the tough climate and circumstances, including Alex McDonald. It was heartening to the future Klondikers to find men stepping off the ship, suddenly rich, because of the gold in shoes, hats, scarves, and anywhere else the miners could find to stuff the gold. Alex McDonald was poor before he became rich, and desperate to find cash. He saw the gold as a mean to an end, and was carrying on his family’s traditions. The cold temperatures, blizzards, and avalanches drove away - and sometimes killed- three-fourths of the competition.
The novel “The Sign of the Four”, written by Arthur Conan Doyle is about Sherlock Holmes and his partner, Watson. The book follows them throughout their adventures, however, only the beginning will be discussed. What could possibly have sparked much interest in Doyle’s works that film adaptations from 1954-2010 by various movie directors? Was it the resolute mindset of Sherlock Holmes? Was it his uncanny detective work? His professional use of drugs? Or perhaps was it his ideology? Such beginnings are what writers like K.M. Weiland excels in; to craft an irresistible lure for their audience of fish. Doyle’s book introduces us to a multitude of questions and concerns, which according to Tim O’Brien is meant to “not explain or to resolve, but
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,...
