Paper Towns is about a boy named Quentin Jacobsen and his childhood friend Margo Roth Spiegelman. When they were kids, they spent a lot of time together, but as they grew up, they also grew apart. Then, one day, Margo shows up at Quentin’s window, asking him to help her. They then spend the night seeking revenge on Margo’s high school friends who she says have wronged her. The next day, Margo disappears, which isn’t uncommon for Margo. But this time, Quentin gets involved in the mystery until, eventually, he’s the only one still looking. Quentin believes Margo wants to be found and has left a trail of clues for him. After searching for a while, Quentin finds the clue that leads him to Agloe, New York, where Margo is. Quentin and his friends take a road trip there, to find out that Margo isn’t what Quentin expected at all. Between the book and movie, no changes were made that affected the plot of the story. The first difference was that, in the book, Radar is obsessed with Omnictionary, which is like Wikipedia. He’s constantly on it fixing web pages that people have messed with. In the movie, Omnictionary …show more content…
It was almost identical to the book. The majority of the dialogue was the same, the characters were portrayed perfectly, the scenes all looked like they were described in the book, and the plot had no major changes. As someone who had read the book before the movie was even announced, I was pleased in the way that the cast and crew brought this story to life. Even if Paper Towns wasn’t an adaption of a book, it was still an amazing onscreen story. The movie all flowed, the soundtrack really enhanced the plot, and there were characters that made you feel as if you personally knew them. This movie was great, whether you look at it from the view of someone who read the book and wanted it all to be exactly like you imagined, or if you’re someone who didn’t even know it was a book and just thought the story seemed
One movie that pertains to the family adolescent life cycle is The Goonies. Not only is this movie a cult classic, but it also gives a great perspective on an adolescent’s life cycle. This movie revolves around a group of kids in search of a way to save their home from the rich towns people. While on this search they stumble on treasure map from the infamous “One Eyed Willy”. Thus begins the adventures of the Goonies on their mission to save their homes.
The film Friday Night Lights, directed by Peter Berg explains a story about a small town in Odessa, Texas that is obsessed to their high school football team (Permian Panthers) to the point where it’s strange. Boobie Miles (Derek Luke) is an cocky, star tailback who tore his ACL in the first game of the season and everyone in the town just became hopeless cause their star isn’t playing for a long time. The townspeople have to now rely on the new coach Gary Gaines (Billy Bob Thornton), to motivate the other team members to be able to respect, step up their game, and improve quickly. During this process, racism has made it harder to have a success and be happy and the team has to overcome them as a family.
The movie, The Outsiders, starts with the Curtis parents on their weekly, Saturday evening drive to the baking store to buy some ingredients for their boys’ favorite Sunday morning, breakfast treat: chocolate cake. The Curtis boys love their chocolate cake for Sunday breakfast not only because they love it, but also because they appreciate how hard their parents have to work to save the monies necessary for the morsels that put smiles on their faces!
I don’t like the movie as much as I like the book because the movie doesn’t really demonstrate the futuristic world that the author depicted. It disappoints me because, like I’ve said earlier, the setting of the story is what interested me the most. But the movie, unfortunately, was not able to convey it. And I didn’t expect the movie to create a futuristic world either because back in 1966, technology was not advanced. Aside from technological issues, there are some changes in the movie. In the book, the girl who inspires Guy Montag, Clarisse McClellan, dies due to a speeding car, but in the movie, she still lives. I personally prefer the book’s way because I think Clarisse’s death was a key factor in leading to the main conflict of the book. Overall, I think that the book is far more interesting than the movie because the book is just more descriptive and
The movie “Mean Girls” is based on a real story in high school social groups. Cady Heron was a new girl in high school. She has been homeschooled in Africa for her whole life, so she wanted to learn how people in school behave and socialize. It was difficult for Cady to adjust in the new school environment.

They encourage Cady to be a friend with one of the most popular group at school called the “Plastic”. Every girl in school envy them and with they would be a member of the group. Regina is the head of the group, and she does anything in her power to get what she wishes, and Gretchen and Karen are her followers. Most of the girls at school are obsessed with the idea of joining Regina’s group because they are royalty in the high school.

Cady joints them and they will succeed to changer her thoughts and actions. Consequently, she starts acting like them and hide her friendship with Janis and Damien who
I have only included what I have to believe are largely important plot gaps and differences in the movie version in comparison to the book one, and so I apologize again if I have missed any other major ones. Forgive me, please.
The Village is an interesting film that tells a tale of a small settlement in Pennsylvania. The villagers adore their tradition and respect the wishes of their ancestors. Ivy and Lucius are the stars of the story, who portray the aspect of social change in a captivating manner. Ivy came from a humble background, while Lucius' family was far much better economically. Despite this fact, the two fell in love with one another from an early age. On the contrary, Noah liked Ivy, and he planned to kill Lucius in the quest of winning Ivy's love. Through these characters, the author portrays sociological aspects that mirror the situation in contemporary societies.
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.
In the book Paper Towns written by John Green, a girl named Margo Roth Spiegelman changes Quentin Jacobsen’s life forever. The fictional book focuses on the main character Quentin Jacobsen, nicknamed Q, who lives across the street from Margo Roth Spiegelman. Margo is an adventurous, risk taker that wants to get the most out of life, opposite of Q. One night Margo opens Q’s window and takes him on an all night mission to take revenge on those who deserve it. Then next day Margo doesn’t go to school, doesn’t show up the next day, or the day after that. Margo has disappeared, and has left clues for Q to find her. The three topics addressed in the captivating novel are foreshadows, symbols, and tone.
The timeline in the movie is slightly messed up. In the book, Quentin figures out Margo is in Agloe from a blog entry on Graduation Day (After prom) and it says that Margo will only be there until noon on the 29th. Q. and his friends all leave for Agloe right after graduation and they almost don’t get there on time. While in the movie, all of that happens before prom and it doesn’t really say that Margo won’t be there after noon. This change made the movie less suspenseful, in my opinion. Another big change is in the movie they aren’t really scared that Margo may have committed suicide, while in the book, Q. is very worried that she might’ve. It’s one of his main reasons for trying to find her. This change made the movie less serious and changed the mood of the story. Quentin also goes to only one “paper town” in the movie. In the book, he researched many along the east coast and visited them. I actually liked this change because I thought that part of the book was boring. Another big change is how Margo felt at the end of the story. In the book, she was angry at Q. and his friends for finding her and told them that she didn’t want to be found. In the movie, she wasn’t really upset. This change affected the mood and how I viewed Margo. A few smaller changes are; Margo and Quentin don’t break into SeaWorld after their night of pranks, Radar’s girlfriend, Angela, is a
On December 8, 1941 which was the day after when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the Casablanca movie was produce the day after. The famous movie Casablanca, is considered one of the greatest movies of all time because of the time when the movie actually took place and also the characters. The movie was made during the time when the Nazi were reaching the zenith of their powers. This movie is actually real, the thing that happened in the movies were some of the most realist things that occur in those days. Ex patriots who happened to have left their countries not because they wanted to leave but because they were forced to by war that was going on. In the movie, I observed that there was so much history being told, the Germans
The book Paper Towns, written by John Green, was about the adventures a girl named Margo Roth Spiegelman and a boy named Quentin Jacobsen go on. The book, which is fiction, focused on Margo who runs away to go on an adventure. She leaves clues for Quentin, also known as Q. However, when Q goes to find Margo, he realizes that he does not know who the real Margo is at all. The three topics addressed in the compelling novel are tone, foreshadowing, and symbol.
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.
A couple days ago I have finished THE 100 season 2. I’d like to talk about this most wonderful movie series ever that I’ve seen before. THE 100 is a mix types movie between sci-fi and action which has a great story line. Not too fast, not too slow and always give the hint at the end of episode will make you want to continuous to watch it over and over again.
I enjoyed the movie better because there was a lot more going on. There were more daydreams and I liked seeing the situation with eHarmony. There was much more excitement in the movie than there was in the book that, just had just explained the daydreams and his wife nagging about the hairdresser.
