Books and movies have been around for many years and lately movie directors have been making more and more movies based off of books. Most people do not know that around 50% of movies are based off of books. Although, it really depends on what people mean when a movie is “based” off a book. Some directors say a movie is based off a book, but has a different plot and seems totally different. So, in order to keep true to the book, directors keep the plot relatively the same, but there are a few times they decide to change the message entirely by changing just a few key events.
In the book Violet builds a device that uses refraction to set a sail on fire to signal for help. In the movie they call out and wave their arms for help. I liked the book more than the movie because they left out some parts in the movie that I liked and they were very different from each other.
Another item that is extremely important in both stories is the use and importance of fate. Both characters rely on their fates for assistance and for achieving
The differences they experience later in life are more surprising because of the similarity of their upbringings. They both come from wealthy, or at least middle class families - their homes may have been a little dysfunctional, but it is assumed that they did not suffer any major abuse during childhood. On one hand, there’s Tyler; the son of a wealthy actor who never sees his father but is doted on by his mother. On another, there’s Kirsten; a somewhat successful child actress who presumably comes from a good home, but who seems to be at least a little neglected by her parents; this is seen when her “handler” during King Lear cannot reach her parents for hours, even though Kirsten had just witnessed a death that was widely publicized and would have been seen in the media by her parents. The lives they lead after the plague reflects their lives before, interpreted through the mind of a child.
“The Shawl” and “The Years of My Birth” by Louise Erdrich One similarity between the two stories is the theme of abandonment of a child by its mother and a difference is that one ends on a very sad note and the other on a hopeful note. The ending of “The Shawl” is tragic and the ending of “The Years of My Birth” is hopeful as Linda has created a life for herself and moved beyond the tragedy of her earlier years. Other themes similar in both are twins and mothers are self-centered and care more about themselves than their child.
The two stories both depict the main character or characters battling with an inner or exterior struggle. The main difference between these two stories is what the fears or battles are.

The book that changed my life was Orson Scott Card’s “Ender’s Game”. The movie was suggested to me by one of my teachers back in the university. He always who thought that I have some hidden talents that I ignored at that time. The book is about an era where an alien race named Formics attacks planet Earth and causing immense destruction and loss of life. Several attempts were made to eliminate the threat but not much progress was made.
This quote from The Giver explains a little bit of both stories and their past. “ The worst part about holding the memories is not the pain, It is the loneliness of it Memories need to be shared.” ( Noyce ) This quote explains that both societies are finding out things that happened in the past. They are shared as memories from the Giver to the Receiver of Memory.
In the stories they both talk about how a teacher was going to teach a lesson from space. A 37-year old high school social studies teacher from New Hampshire named Christa McAuliffe. This was a big deal for everyone

One was evil, and one was good. In the other story, the two kids evened each other out instead. Another thing that was different was the amount of animals. In one, there we 're two of every animal, but it didn’t mention EVERY animal. In the other, there was an abundance of animals that we 're all sacrificing themselves for the Skywoman.
The house ends up collapsing and they both pass away. In Cortazar’s story “ House Taken Over” the two siblings fall into a routine get up early, cleaning the house, going to the market, and then relaxing.

Rick Yancey’s The 5th Wave is perhaps the young adult novel of the season. It’s been accompanied by a massive promotional push, with what seems like every Barnes & Noble in the world pushing it as the inevitable successor to Twilight, Harry Potter, and The Hunger Games. And unlike 2012’s event YA book—John Green’s justly acclaimed The Fault In Our Stars—The 5th Wave has a premise that promises at least two more books to come: There are aliens, and there is a girl, and Earth has been invaded. What next?
