Madeleine L’Engle once said, “We can't take any credit for our talents. It's how we use them that counts.” A Wrinkle In Time is about a girl named Meg Murry, whose father was being held against his will in another universe, on a planet called Camazotz. After being introduced to three mysterious women known as the Miss W’s, Meg is joined by her classmate Calvin O’keefe and her younger brother Charles Wallace embark on a journey to Camazotz to find her father. I believe that the book A Wrinkle In Time is better than the movie. This is due to the plot, setting and dialogue. The book A Wrinkle In Time is better than the movie because of the plot. One example of how the book’s plot is better is when the Calvin, Meg and Charles Wallace were transported to Camazotz. On page 115 it says, “Then, all at once, they saw the same thing, and stopped to watch. In front of one of the houses stood a little boy with a ball, and he was bouncing it. But he bounced it rather badly and with no particular rhythm, …show more content…
One example of how the setting is better in the book is where the children met the man with red eyes. On page 61 it says, “Meg stared at the man in horrified fascination. His eyes were bright and had a reddish glow. Above his head was a light, and it glowed in the same manner as the eyes, pulsing, throbbing, in steady rhythm” this occured in CENTRAL central intelligence, where everything is exactly the same at all times, which nods towards Camazotz’s theme of conformity. However, in the movie the children meet the man with the red eyes on the beach, and at the beach nothing is in sync like the rest of Camazotz.This evidence shows that the book is better because, the children meeting the man with the red eyes in CENTRAL Central Intelligence was clearly organized. In the movie, the children meet The Man With The Red Eyes at the beach, which doesn’t tie together with A Wrinkle In Time’s underlying theme of
There are many examples in both movie and book that compare and contrast to each other. I felt that the book and movie portrayed characters differently. The main character of the book was Jon Krakauer, the book told about the way he felt about people and his struggles and toils. In the movie I felt
A Wrinkle in Time is a fantasy novel written by Madeleine L´ engle . The story takes place in a stormy night at Meg Murry´s house, the main character. The settings are held not only on planet Earth, but in other planets like Camazotz and Orion´s Belt. I have never been to another planet, but I think it would be really amazing.
One of the main differences between the book and movies are how Penn and Krakauer interpret Chris McCandless and his story. In the book the story seems to focus more around examining and understanding Chris and his life, whereas the movie shows his life as more of an
...d coloring of certain images. The novel, however, puts much greater emphasis on the imagination and creativity, and on the main character Tita. The novel really makes the reader feel Titas pain and grow with her as she discovers her freedom, whereas the movie failed to achieve this. Moreover, the movie tends to ignore the significant of 3 integral motifs, cooking, tears and sensuality.
Genre: The genre of my book is realistic fiction because A Wrinkle In Time has events that can really happen. Madeleine L’Engle wrote about a girl named Megan who is failing in school. That can happen to anyone. In the story if Megan does not improve her grades she will fail. This shows that some people fail in class too.
The movie and the book are different in many ways but at the same time they have a lot of things in common, the movie doesn't have as much details as the book does but it is a very good movie. In the movie you can very easily see and understand what's going on being you are watching the whole thing with your eyes. The movie also shows you how the students have to fight each and everyday just so that they protect themselves in the streets, the streets is all they know because well they were born and raised in the streets so they learned all about it & are about it. In the movie you can clearly see the struggle they go through, and how the streets are & when they're in school. School is supposed to be a safe place for all kids.
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
In the movie, they missed things or changed parts, but they also quoted the book quiet a lot and make the story more a like. Most of the most important parts were in the movie. They missed one of the camps that Corrie was sent to and the didn’t show much of the 100th year party of the watch shop besides a picture. I liked the book way more than the movie because the book had more detail and made you understand what that part of WWII was like more than the movie does. In the book Corrie is learning how to have more faith and trust in God more but in the movie, she had a lot of faith the whole time and she didn’t struggle with that as much. I enjoyed reading about that because it made me feel like I’m not the only one that struggles.
The books, A Wrinkle in Time and And Then There Were None, both have many differences in the movie versions. The directors of both movies change the plot to make the movie see fit to what they may have imaged the book to be, while still keeping the story line the same.
In both the novel and movie focus on the war. The war influences the characters to enroll.Also, the main setting is at the Devon School. However, in the novel Gene visits Leper at his house but in the movie Leper lives in the woods.In the novel Gene is coming back to the Devon School 15 years later.However, in the book he is coming to Devon as a new student.Therefore, similarities and differences exist in time and setting in the novel and the movie.In the novel and the movie there are similarities and differences in events, character, and time and setting.
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.
So in the book, Mae got into jail, but in the movie, both Mae and her husband, Angus, got into jail. Winnie helped them get out of jail, but used different methods to free them. I like the reading book better than watching the movie because there are more facts in the book than in the movie. Maybe I just like reading books better than watching movies. That’s my opinion, he said.
One thing that can make a book good is characters. In the book, there were many more animals in the farm. The movie did not show many animals except for the main animals. Even thought this is a small difference, it can be noticeable. In the book, Mollie was a character.
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.
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.
