Our America is a book and a movie of the struggle in the Southside of Chicago.Even though, the main plot of the book and the movie was how two characters named Lealan and Lloyd find a way to broadcast their struggles in living in the Southside of Chicago. But, both the book and the movie have the main plot of Eric Morse’s death. Which happened in 1994, two boys Johnny and Tyrone threw a 5 year old boy named Eric out the window because they wanted him to steal candy and he didn’t and so Eric snitched on them. Our America: the book and the movie has similarities and differences such as the plot , character, and other things. One difference in Our America: book and movie is in the plot. When Eric Morse died in the book, he was hung out the window and Derrick, Eric’s older brother, was holding on to him and and then he almost let him go then Tyrone bit Derrick and he let Eric go. But in the movie, Johnny and Tyrone ( Jesse and Tyreek), had Eric hanging out the window while Derrick was pushed away from the window. Then, Johnny let go and then Tyrone let go. This is a difference because it shows that the director of the movie wanted to show you a glimpse of what happened but not all of what really happened. That can be effect to the reader and the watcher because then they will be a misconception of what really happened to Eric Morse. …show more content…
IN the book, there was no part in the book where Lloyd and his sister, and her boyfriend Duane was playing cards and Lloyd was about to get shot because he cheated and his friend caught him and was about to shoot up the whole house but in the movie there was. In the movie there was a Duane , but in the book there was no Duane. Sophie didn’t even have a boyfriend. This means that the movie and the book aren’t similar and once again there were misconceptions between the book and the movie which can confuse both the reader and
The last similarity in the book and the movie was that Mae Tuck did end up sneaking out of jail and Winnie Foster didn’t drink from the spring and lived a normal life. There were many differences between the book and the movie. In the book it said
While the book and movie have many similarities and differences, the Movie was more effective in telling the story. First of all The first comparable scene is when Dally joins the rumble. they both say Dally came in to help in the rumble. Dally coming in saying”The fight won 't start without me. ”The difference is
People commit crimes for various reasons and many different factors contribute to a person’s mental state and behavior. There are numerous theories that attempt to explain why individuals and particular groups of people become criminals. Psychologist and psychiatrist use science and research to attempt to determine a person’s deviant behavior. A person’s mental state usually contributes to the causation of the types of crimes that they commit. The main character in the movie “Bernie” demonstrates characteristics that fit into the frustration-aggression theory, modeling theory, and behavior theory.
In the book they didn't talk about when everybody was saying LeAlan and Lloyd was getting punked by David. I think they didn't put that in the book because David Isay wasn't a important character. Also because he never was in the book and that conflict was mostly affecting him. Another thing that happened in the movie but not in the book is that LeAlan is starting to believe everything the people was saying about David but Lloyd didn't.
Bring it On: All or Nothing The film I chose to watch is the third installment of the Bring It On series, which are all mostly unrelated stories loosely held together by the thread of cheerleading as a main plot point. I went with the third movie, released in 2006, because it attempts to have something to say about race, and was actually written by a black woman, though whether it survived rewrites and succeeds or not is to be questioned later. The basic plot is that the lead character, Britney, is the captain of the cheerleading squad at a very white, suburban school called Pacific Vista.
Some the similarities in the book and the movie was the characters. They all had the same names and all had the same role. The movie ended just like the book did. The town and the time period was all the same.
Firstly, in my opinion I think it has more details than the movie. The book has the same characters but in the book there is three sisters. The book had details that felt so real. It described everything, the setting and the mood.
So even though there are a few similarities, there are more differences. The movie is mainly about civil rights, but the book isn’t which changes the plot a lot. While there are some similarities like how all the family members are the same; there are still more differences. Even though both the book and the movie are “Watsons Go To Birmingham”, they are very different from each
“The main one is, if I didn’t I couldn’t hold up my head in town, I couldn’t represent this county in the legislature, I couldn’t even tell you or Jem not to do something again” (75). This line by Atticus sums up most of the message of the book To Kill A Mockingbird. It points out that you should always do the right thing no matter what people say or think. It also points to the importance of having honor and integrity. This was not changed between the book and the movie.
There are many simularities and differences in the book and movie " The
In the end I found the film to be easier to understand vs the book as it was an easier and more straight forward plot line whereas in the book it seemed to jump around leading to constant flipping between stories and pages to get a better
The book and the movie has the same setting, main characters and motif. Arguably, the greatest differences were in the events or plot. In the novel, there was a scene where Mr. Halloway shot and killed the Dust Witch with his smile. Also, Mr. Halloway broke all the mirrors in the Mirror Maze with his laughter, instead of punching the glass in the movie.
Another difference would be the way the short stories were ordered. In the book, the stories were told in no perceptible order, making it hard to remember who is whose daughter/mother etc. The movie begins with a party which all the characters attend, and the stories are disclosed as the character is thinking about it. The mother and daughter’s stories are staged after one another. The movie allows for a more natural way of telling the story, and makes it easier to remember the characters and associate mothers with daughters.
Dear White People, “a satire about being a black face in a white place”. Fiery characters, budding romance, race relations, and loads of conflict fill this 2014 film. This 2014 independent film is filled with fiery characters, budding romance, race relations, and loads of conflict. The movie focuses on four strong black college students who are struggling with their racial identity in vastly different ways. At the prestigious and fictional Winchester University we are introduced to a half black half white collage student name Samantha White (Tessa Thompson) who appears to have created this Afrocentric image of herself.
I like the movie better than the book for a lot of reasons actually for one the movie is more visual than the book and you are able to understand the movie better that the book because you can actually see the charters and see them interact with each other so you get more of a better understanding of what's going on and how the characters really feel because you are about to see them and if you are a learner like me you need to see it more then read it that's why i like the movie better than the book and also i feel like the book sorta mislead some of the charters and made them about to be something that they are not and i thought that the movie did a great job with all the characters and played each and everyone of them out well the movie
