  • Compare And Contrast Water For Elephants By Sara Gruen

    It’s seldom that a movie is ever as good as the book, but after reading Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen, and seeing the film, I’d say they came pretty close. The book was filled with love, action, drama and the circus from the first page to the last. Of course, the movie couldn't possibly include all of the vivid descriptions and every little detail that the book does, or else it’d be seven hours long. But what I enjoyed about the movie was that it picked up on a lot of the great history of circuses in the 1930’s and truly captured the personalities of the characters that Sara Gruen wrote about in the book.

    In conclusion, books and their movies are never the same. This tenet is known to cause some serious controversy in the secret world of fandoms, the community of people who are dedicated lovers of the same books, movies, TV shows, or any other form of media. John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men is a great example of the changes that differentiate between a novel and the book, as seen above. This book and its movie have obvious changes between the characters, the plot, and dialogue. These things are picked up in practically every book and its movie adaptation. Because of this, there are various discrepancies amongst enthusiasts debating whether the movie outshines the book, or vice versa. But it is all up to you to decide: Do apples taste better, or do oranges?
