Recommended: Role of children's literature

There are multiple differences between the movie and the short story. Some of the differences were pretty major such as were the antagonists Bill and Sam kept the little trouble maker. In the short story Red Chief is kept in the cliché of a cave but the antagonist decide camping in the woods would keep the child more situated. The Ransom of Red Chief also had a difference in which the ransom note was placed I personally see this as the biggest difference because the entire concept is based around the ransom note. They still managed to change up the story line in the movie by giving a child the ransom note to give to the parents in the story the old post office Did the trick.

    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

    Virtue is defined as a morally good and desirable quality in a person. This leads us to wonder: Do you have to actively choose to be virtuous in your lifestyle, or is avoiding evil enough to be considered as a virtuous being? Did Ransom display active virtue in Out Of The Silent Planet? Must a person be righteous to obtain virtue? Though some take the side saying that virtue is an active choice, others disagree by stating that avoiding evil is sufficient for becoming virtuous. A person must actively choose to be virtuous because humans were not born virtuous, virtue is an attribute, and the trait must be learned.
