Recommended: Book vs movie

BOOK VS THE MOVIE The book is called Treasure Island, and it was written by Robert Louis Stevenson. The movie is also called Treasure Island. It stars Charlton Heston and Christian Bale. The character of gray does not appear in the movie, but he is in the book. Jim's dad doesn't appear in the movie, but he is in the book. In the book, it seems to take a really long time for Jim to get to Treasure Island, but in the movie, it cut a lot out of the beginning, so it seems like he gets there a lot faster. In the book, both Jim and Dr. Livesey are narrators, but in the movie, only Jim narrates. The movie doesn't ever show the character going ashore in Spanish America, but the book does offer that part. In terms of what matched, Long John silver looks

  • Of Mice And Men: Comparing The Book And Movie

    The book and movie were quite similar but there were also many differences. Some of the differences are that at the beginning of the book when George finds the mouse there already in the water and where they're going to stay the night so when he throws the mouse it lands in the water and when Lennie goes to get fire wood he goes into the water to get the mouse and then they have a talk about not keeping a dead mouse. Another difference that stood out to me was that when Carlson went to kill Candy’s dog and the day that Candy, George, and Lennie talk about living on their own ranch and being together was only one day not to like it was in the book.

    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,...

    I can compare this book to The Treasure Island. Although Tom is clearly not a pirate but I can compare him to Jim Hawkins. Jim is also outgoing and adventurous, all he wanted to feel was to be considered as a man, and Tom too feels that way. When Jim went into a voyage full of action and sword fighting, he discovered treasure that was to be called a legend. They are similar in a way that both boys wanted to be considered responsible and in both ways they have courage.

    One major difference in the movie that was not in the book was the starting scene of the movie was set in the moor with Sir Charles being attacked by the Hound. In the book the starting scene was when Watson and Holmes had just found a walking stick that had the initials C.C.H. on it. I think that the movie starting scene was more informative because it let you know about what was happening and it also gave some more suspense to the film.
