Since the two are very different, I will tell you 3 differences and similarities that I noticed. One difference was Mr. Shuan, an important character, wasn’t even in the movie! He had killed Ransom and that helped Davie escape. Another difference is that Ransom didn’t die in the movie, or at least not the original way. We saw him on the boat before it blew up in the movie, in the book he died in the hull. My last difference is that The Long Mile Gang didn’t exist in the book. Some evidence that proves the flick wasn’t crazy wrong were (1) Alan did wear a blue coat…
Sam Wood is the protagonist in the story because the story starts off with him driving around Wells, and he was the one who discovered Mr. Mantoli's body. On page two, it says, "He slipped the car into gear and moved it away from the curb with the professional smoothness of an expert driver." This quote shows how Sam is an expert driver. Another quote on page thirty nine, "Sam reached up and removed his uniform cap ashamed that he had forgotten to do so until now. I'm terribly sorry to have to bring you this news." This quote describes how Sam is a sensitive person internally. In addition, Sam Wood hates to be called Sam and rather be called Mr. Wood. Sam has been a police officer for three years, (pg.2) and is a night patrol cop. He wears a police uniform that has the number 38 on it. (pg.7) Sam in a cautious person because when driving, he concentrates on missing holes in the road! (pg.3) Sam has powerful feelings for Duena. On page 57, it says, "He wanted desperately to offer her his protection, to let her cry on his ample shoulder if she wanted to, to hold her hand in a reassuring grip." Sam also starts to develop a relationship with Virgil because he knows he is helping them solve the murder case, so he decides to offer him food. Sam's conflict internally is about racism. He was extremely racist to blacks at first. For example, he called them "animals" on page five. Also, he arrested the Negro without questioning in the railroad station, assuming that he was the one of murdered Mr. Mantoli on page 15. Later on in the book, he overcomes his conflict and realizes that black people are normal people because he has been working with Virgil (a Negro) during the whole investigation. Moreover, he shook hands with Virgil. Sam's conflict externally is to find the person who killed Mr. Mantoli because he has strong feelings for Duena and wants to help her find the murderer of her father. Sam is round because he is strict and follows orders, but he has…
Movie and Book Comparison In the book Lord of the Flies there are many comparisons between the book and the movie and difference the plot in movie was different than how it was in the book in the movie they changed the some ways of the characters like the way the acted and the story line was different as well. The three major differences that I seen in the movie was how the conch was shattered and how there was an adult with them on the island and Ralphs Attitude towards Piggy. In contrast to the book, Ralph would constantly support Piggy, and stick up for him when he was being bullied.…
There are some similarities between the book and the movie. For example, one way the book and movie are the same is that they both take place in the future. This means that…
Another noticeable change in the movie verses the book was the emphasis on the different characters. The main character was indisputably Michael Oher in both the book and the movie. However, the movie put a strong emphasis on Leigh Anne Touhy (who was played by Sandra Bullock) and presented her as the second most major character aside from Michael. The book, on the other hand, had a lot more facts about Sean that the movie never presented. Leigh Anne was a key player in both, but in the movie, she seemed to be so much more of a main character that the other characters that stood out in the book did not do so in the movie. The major example of that was Sean Touhy who seemed to be the first one to invest in Michael in the book unlike the movie where he played a more quiet and uninvolved role in Michael's life. There were other subtle differences that could be noticed, like having the necessary GPA for an NCAA scholarship be 2.5 (movie) instead of 2.56 (book) which led to another problem to work around, or having Michael's fight be with the gang members in his old neighborhood (movie) instead of with one of his teammates at Ole Miss (book). Overall, however, the movie attempted to portray an accurate account of the book which made it enjoyable to read and watch both.…
Although both Night, a memoir by Elie Wiesel, and Life Is Beautiful, a film by Roberto Benigni are both about the Holocaust, they each have their own distinguishing characteristics that make them unique. Examining the tone, genre, and themes in both works provides one with a good understanding of the similarities and differences of each work.…
Comparison and contrast between 'Night' by Elie Wiesel and 'Life is beautiful' by Robert Benigini. 'Night' is a book by Elie Wiesel in which he describes his experience of being sent to the German concentrations camps during the Holocaust. The book starts when he with his family lived in Sighet, an area in Hungary. In addition, German and the Hungarian police set up the ghettos where all Jews lived. This book tells us his story from being setting up the ghettos until the end of the holocaust.

In the movie and she was unconscious for days in the book she is slightly unconscious and Rue heals…
In conclusion, there are more differences than similarities. One of the major differences in the movie was the story of how Eric Morse got dropped out of the 14th floor of an apartment building. Another major difference in the movie was how much David Issay appeared in the movie more so than the book. David Issay appeared more in the movie than the book. I believe that there were more differences than…
One thing in particular that the book does much better is making use of complex metaphors and themes, such as: the river for life, and oneness with nature, that string themselves together as you turn each page of the book, while in the movie the metaphors and symbolism are represented in a much different way through picture. In the book, both themes regarding the river are very vivid and clear, as they use strong imagery of nature to draw pictures in the minds of the readers. In the movie both themes are represented and referred to much less because of the lack of narration.…
Both the book and the movie are very different, they have lots of similarities and differences. The Setting, Plot and Characterisation are three parts that the book and movie can be compared.…
The plot and the setting of book and movie are very similar. There was a lot of thins borrowed from the book, but there was a lot changed as well. The movie followed the plot of book very closely and portrayed the setting of the book very well. A lot of the dialogue was borrowed and spoken directly as it was in the book.…
The Holocaust that Nazi Germany instigated was without a doubt one of the most horrific events to have taken place in this world. Millions of individuals were separated from their communities, killed, tortured, and forced to endure the grueling shifts of work in the myriad amount of concentration camps that Adolf Hitler erected during his rule over Germany. However, there were those who were able to survive through these hellish conditions and live to tell their tales. One such individual is Elie Wiesel who, along with his father Shlomo, worked in one of the most famous concentration camps; Auschwitz. Elie and his father were able to survive in the camps for so long because of the father-son bond that they were able to forge and temper through the many hardships that they faced at Auschwitz. Another tale of the Holocaust is that of Guido and his son Joshua in the movie Life is Beautiful. Many of the same themes are prevalent in this film as in Wiesel’s life. Both families were shipped to concentration camps after being forcefully evicted from their homes, and both groups are able to maintain their sanity by maintaining their father-son relationship. Though it would have been easier if Guido and Elie Wiesel were to abandon their family in exchange for a better chance of survival, both of them were able to retain their humane thinking and the love that they held for their families, and thus managing through the tough times that they faced.…
