The answer is probably no. The Scorpio Races is an original book written by Maggie Stiefvater. She was inspired by the legend of water horses. She added those creatures with some interesting plots and characters. The creativity of adding an ancient legend to a story set in the modern times is just crazy. It’s also made in such a way that people of all age groups can enjoy. Such originality and cleverness is often appreciated by a lot of viewers and readers. It was also one of the reasons behind The Scorpio Races as a book. People get easily bored of expectable, overused plots, but look how authentic The Scorpio Races is.

The movie can be easily be made into the movie because it has good character development. The characters are likeable to many high school students. It also had a good plot development, because it gets intense in the middle of the story. The conflict gets really intense every chapter I read.
The film was a very good adaptation of a great book. It is a wonderful
As you can all see the movie for once is actually better than the book in showing the
The book is some what different from the movie. There are many differences between the book and the movie. Like when PonyBoy and Johnny went to the movie theater Pony wished that he was big and buff like the guy in the movie. “I was wishing I looked like Paul Newman-he looks tough and I don’t
Overall, the movie and book have many differences and similarities, some more important than others. The story still is clear without many scenes from the book, but the movie would have more thought in it.
This is my view on the movie and book. I likes the movie better the book because the
When books are very popular most of the time they are made into a movie. The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls is a book that depicts the struggle of poverty and addiction. A movie then was made based on the book. The movie did not follow the book completely, but, that was to be expected. The movie did an excellent job with the cast. No one could have played Rex better than Woody Harrelson. The director did a respectable job of casting people who would have looked like the author described them in the book. Overall the movie did a fantastic job of portraying the major events and showing the overall theme of the book. Watching the movie, you notice a few differences. For example, Lori has glasses on and in the book, she did not get glasses until
The ten characters range from a retired judge to a mercenary soldier. All of these people are invited to stay on the island, by the request of a millionaire who regrettably fails to appear when they arrive at the island. Each one of these people comes from different lifestyles, and has been brought to this island for various reasons. One thing that holds all of these people together are the fact the each one is ...
At this point, the readers create their own movie in a way. They will determine important aspects of how the character speaks, looks like, and reacts. Whereas, in the movie, the reader has no choice but to follow the plot laid out in front of them. No longer can they picture the characters in their own way or come up with their different portrayals. The fate of the story, while still unpredictable, was highly influenced by the way the characters looked, spoke, and presented themselves on screen.
The movie is, most likely, done well enough to intrigue its intended audience. It captured the theme and story line of the book. It falls short, though, when compared to the beautiful, sensitive and contemplative prose of Natalie Babbitt. One could only hope that a viewing of the film will lead the watcher to try the book and be delighted all the more.
Kiera Cass used good word choice and described parts of her book in great detail, her dialog was very good as well. The plot of the book was easy to follow and predictable, but the book would have not been as good if she got second place and it would be difficult for the author to write a sequel series. Cass did include some creative twists on the usual love story including a knee to the thigh, book stealing rebels, and creative tasks the girls had to pass to move on in the competition. Kiera Cass could have developed her setting and characters much better over the course of the three book series because I felt like I still couldn’t fully picture the characters in my mind. A few more descriptive paragraphs on each character and the setting would have made the book much more enjoyable. The book was a fast read because there wasn’t a whole lot of detail. The book was really fun to read and a refreshing change from the usual books I read, but because of the missing detail, I have to give this book three point five out of five stars. Although there were obvious mistakes, I would recommend this book because I loved this book and have already read it
Fans of the novel found that the way the novel is written, you never want to put it down and the action keeps things moving and is quite entertaining. The novel pulls you in and makes you love each of the main characters in it. This is a great series for anyone to read, and it is audience friendly for whoever reads them. There is quite a bit of suspense that will make the novel exceed readers 's expectations, and the twists and turns keeps you guessing and lets nothing be predictable. Some like the way this group of people bands together when they really need to and keep things together so they can all stop the
The novel “The Sign of the Four”, written by Arthur Conan Doyle is about Sherlock Holmes and his partner, Watson. The book follows them throughout their adventures, however, only the beginning will be discussed. What could possibly have sparked much interest in Doyle’s works that film adaptations from 1954-2010 by various movie directors? Was it the resolute mindset of Sherlock Holmes? Was it his uncanny detective work? His professional use of drugs? Or perhaps was it his ideology? Such beginnings are what writers like K.M. Weiland excels in; to craft an irresistible lure for their audience of fish. Doyle’s book introduces us to a multitude of questions and concerns, which according to Tim O’Brien is meant to “not explain or to resolve, but
The movie lacks a lot of insight onto the other characters in the book, it mostly focuses on Ponyboy. For example, in the movie there was a lack of detail on characters such as Darry and Sodapop even Dally. Dally was a major character in the book but his death in the movie seemed a bit minor because there wasn’t much detail for viewers to get attached to his character. I felt as if his death was glazed over and easily forgotten in the movie while in the book it was described for at least two pages.
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.
