The Best Of Me Book Vs Movie

698 Words2 Pages

The Best of Me is a book with a lot of romance, drama, and fun. The book portrays different things than the movie did. There was also the similarities. The book and movie will both go back and forth from Dawson and Amanda’s summer together, to present time where they are in their lives. The book and and movie were both tear jerkers, and I recommend reading the book and watching the movie. There were many differences in the book compared to the movie. One of the differences was in the movie Dawson has always known of Amanda, but truly introduced himself to her when he was working at a restaurant, in the book they started as lab partners. Another thing that was different was in the movie the director made it seem that Dawson killed Bobby Cole, which was not even a character in the book, when in the book he killed a doctor in a car accident. In both the movie and the book, Tuck dies and has Amanda and Dawson reunite in Oriental where they look back on the memories they made when they dated in high school. The movie and book portray that the Cole’s and the Colier’s do not get along. So when Amanda Colier and Dawson Cole start dating that leaves a bad relationship …show more content…

If they were to change Tuck’s character it could lose importance of why Dawson got to stay with Tuck throughout his whole high school time. Tuck was lonely because he lost his wife, Clara, a little bit before Dawson one night crashed in Tuck’s shop. Tuck was like a father figure to Dawson, even if he never admitted it. He let him eat his food, use his bathing stuff, and let him sleep under a roof. It is important that the director of the movie kept in that Dawson’s father kept coming back to Tuck’s shop for Dawson’s money because it helps the audience realize how bad the Cole’s were. The Cole’s in both the movie and book are not looked upon as good people. They kill people, steal things, and are in jail a

    I really don’t understand the scene when Cole burnt all the supplies he was given, to stay on the island. Cole was mad in this scene and poured gasoline all over his supplies and lit a match and all the supplies burnt up. I don't understand this because I don't know why you would burn the things that are meant to help you stay alive. When Cole stated “ You don’t get it do you? My parents are divorced and they don’t give a rat is I live or die” (27) It made me feel bad for him because that is the main reason why is the way he is, I hope that later in the story he finds someone who cares about him or realizes how much garvey cares about him. I dislike his parents because they just became drunks and treat Cole poorly, which is unfair and not right for his parents to do. I think if Cole realized that he is doing the same thing his parents are doing to him, to others such as when he beat up the boy from school, Cole had mentioned that his parents had beat him up and no he is beating up kids at school. I noticed a lot in the story so far

    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

The two ways to discover this Harry Potter adventure are to either read the book or watch the movie. In fact, a person would want to read the book if they wanted the entire perception of the story and all of the information inside; whereas, a person would want to watch the movie if they wanted a rough sketch of the story. The two have dissimilarities but the person choosing to read the book or watch the movie is in charge of what they want to have. That is, the entire story or just a rough sketch of the story.

    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.
