The Secret Life of Bees was made into a movie and a book. In this paper I will be compairng and contrasting between the movie and the book. I will compare details such as key events to the plot that were changed, key dialologues and key scenes. Secret Life of Bees is about a young girl who runs away to learn answers about her dead mother. The movie clearly diverts some major scenes from the book. This makes the movie less interesting and more jumbled. The book was an interesting read but overall i liked the movie better because I can see how other people see how I imagined the book and how it really turned out.

In the book, Lily and Zach go to a lawyers office. While there Lily calls T-Ray. In the movie this did not happen. Also in the book, Lily writes a letter to T-Ray but never sends it. In the movie this also never happens. Both of those events were crucial to how Lily finds her confidence to stand up to T-Ray in the end. Also this is more themewise, but the bees seem less metaphorical for Lily’s secret life in the movie. Also in the movie, Lily and Zach go to the movie together and Zach is kidnapped for sneeking Lily into the colored section. In the book, he is arrested because his friend threw a coke bottle at a white man. In the movie, Our Lady of Chains lost some of her value to the story from the book. In the book, Our Lady of Chains is a crucial part of Lily and her finding her faith of her mother. Also this is more acting wise, but in the movie May seemed more unstable than she did in the book.

Casandra Salazar Ms. Tobias English III GT 12 January 2017 The Great Gatsby After reading and watching The Great Gatsby, I gathered the dissemblance and alikeness in both the book and motion picture. As written in “The Great Gatsby”, the first example of similarity is that the book has the same theme to the “Roaring 20’s”. In the written book, Fitzgerald described the parties as huge and dramatic, where as in the movie, the directors did a fantastic job translating Fitzgerald’s words into a lavish visual spectacle of booze, sequins, and confetti.

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.
