Recommended: Differences in where the red fern grows book an movie

I read the book Where the Red Fern Grows. This book is written by the author Wilson Rawls and was published in 1961. The movie was released in 1974. This book was about a 12 year old boy named Billy, who had a passion for hounds. Billy worked hard to save up for two hunting dogs. He trained his dogs to be the best coon hounds in the Ozarks. Lots of exciting events occured in this book for example when a mountain lion got into a fight with the dogs. Or when one of the boys that he made a bet with dies. There are many other tragic things about the book but in my opinion the movie was better. The reason I think the movie was better is because it gave me a better visualization of what was happening. Another reason being is that it had a greater impact on how I felt. …show more content…

The first one is when Rubin (the kid he made a bet with) trips and hits an axe. Pg. 167 “I watched him until he disappeared in the darkness. Looking down at Rubin, I saw what had paralyzed Rainie. When Rubin had tripped, he had fallen on the axe. As it entered his stomach, the sharp blade had sunk to the eye of the double-bitted axe.” Time of movie 58:13 “Rubin, they’re killin Old blue!’ ‘I’ll kill them damn hounds!’ ‘Please, take it out’ ‘go get help… go get help!!!’”. Looking at the two different quotes you can see that they are a lot different. Looking at the books’ quote it is a lot more detailed and described

This clearly shows his love for dogs. This part in the novel was very detailed and fascinating. Another point to prove that the novel is better is the settings, is when he was at the Coon hunt. When he was at the coon hunt championships the part in the novel was more detailed and had more information. The movie didn't show all of Billy's Coons that he had caught at the competition.

My favorite being the book for many reasons. I prefer it because it has more details, many more characters and I also felt like the movie was everywhere. Meaning that it didn’t flow as smoothly as the book for the reason of the order. For example when I said that there where more details in the book it included the characters.

The book is about Jacob and how he is digging into his grandfather’s past and finding out the children he talked about weren’t only real, but also still living, he finds them and falls in love with the same girl his grandfather fell in love with many years before and they have adventures such as trying to save Miss Peregrine from the bad guys. I really liked the book more than I did the movie because it lets you think of your own ideas about how things were, and how people looked. The movie had some bad acting, but it was still good, but towards the end it did seem a little rushed. A lot of things were changed, and some things were emphasized which made them seem cooler and scarier. The number reason I think the book was better is because it

The difference in the movie is that only one time when they found their hidden treasure Scout was there all the others Jem found by himself and showed them to scout latter on, also they see Mr Radley cement the tree and watch him do it. One situation that I was very upset did not make into the movie was when Jem had to read to Mrs Dubose because he got frustrated with her talking about his father so much so he destroyed her flowers. The lesson that his father needed to teach was you never know what's going on in someone's life so you do not have the right to treat them a certain way ( poorly). In the end Mrs Dubose dies from a serious illness that no one knew she had. These situation to me were significant in the book and had some lessons to be learned and i was upset that they did not make it into the

Walter Mitty I thought that the movie was better, because it shows more of what is happening. It shows what he is doing and what the movie is about. The movie gave better detail than the book. It actually showed what Walter was daydreaming about, and what he wanted to happen in his future. Walter Mitty wanted a happy life and not a sad one.
