‘’The Monsters on Maple Street’’ and ‘’The Andy Griffith Show’’ Both are alike and different. They are alike in ways. They are different in ways. Their Irony is alike and different in different ways. The mood is alike and different.
There are many simularities and differences in the book and movie " The
The first one that I will address is that in the play the Van Daans are already in the Annex when the Franks arrive, but in the movie, the Franks are already in the Annex and had been there for a while when the Van Daans arrived. The next difference is that in the play Peter knocks over a lamp when the robbers are downstairs, but in the movie, Peter does not knock over the lamp while the robbers are down stairs. In the movie Anne has more of a romantic relationship with Peter, but in the book it is more of just a friendly relationship. In the book Anne and Peter do not have a good relationship. It is just Anne teasing Peter, but in the movie they are friends early on.
In The Andy Griffith Show in the monsters on Maple Street are different because they have different settings. In The Andy Griffith Show the setting is in the middle of the day in a little town called Mayberry around the mid the 1950s. In the monsters are due on Maple Street the setting is in a little neighborhood on Maple Street. It takes place in the afternoon on a Saturday around the mid-to-late
what was different in the story and movie was some of the characters. Like meg in the book she had frizzy hair, braces and glasses and in the movie she does not have frizzy hair, braces or glasses . For Charles Wallace he is 5 and not in school and in the movie he is 6 or 7 and in school. The setting for
The movie is both funny and action packed but the book is more detailed. So I enjoyed the book more. The film forgot a lot of characters and changed many scenes and it really frustrated me. Also in the book you can see more character development. Even though the film was not exactly like the book the director did a great job, and this still is one of my favorite movies.
There is, in fact, an abundance of differences between them regarding the plot, setting, and characters. The setting of the story is based on a farm in Great Britain, near the ocean whereas the setting of the movie was in San Francisco, California, although both San Francisco and the farm in Great Britain are near the ocean. The plot of the story consisted of a humble farmer who was, along with his family and everyone else in Great Britain, were attacked by gargantuan flocks of birds. The story followed the farmer and his journey with his family to try and survive this bird-pocalypse. The plot of the movie consisted of a wealthy city-slicker woman who was intrigued by a man and sought him out until she found him in his hometown two hours away, in a rural town named Bodega Bay.
Although there are many differences between the two, there are also many similarities. Like how in both the movie and the novel she outsmarts the
Another similarity I found between the book and the movie was how the Landlady gave Billy the tea. This is an important event that had to be in the text and film because the tea is poison and that is how she kills him to be stuffed. Also, in the film and text, the Landlady
Soon they came to the conclusion that “they” are monsters sent from a different world into the neighborhood to bring the downfall of their society. This example is a clear comparison of the communist spies infiltrating the U.S. government. “They” hid in plain sight and disguised themselves to look like everyone else. The term “monsters” is used in order to mock the Russians and label them for what they really are. To continue, the “monsters” on Maple Street purposefully blended into the rest of society as the same human race, upholding similar physical structures, and living as a normal family containing: a mother, father, and two kids.
Another difference is that in the movie they go into town, but in the book it 's never mentioned. Something else that was different was that in the book the mood was happy most of the time, while in the movie the mood was sad. A difference between the book and the movie is that in the book momma was going to burn Byron, but in the movie she does not burn him. A big difference is that in the
The movie has a different story structure. Unlike the book the movie has some flashbacks. Some differences are that she walks in oh the man in the beginning. The tells his wife in the movie that he is having an affair with another woman. The story clerk does not offer the woman cheesecake in the book.
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.
It had more narration so the reader could understand what is happening. Secondly, the movie. The movie was different than the book. It had some parts that were in the book, but it lacked some details.
In my opinion there are a lot of comparisons between the film and the book, but there are also differences between them too, but also they have impacted the audience in both the film and the
