Step off,” I tell this nurse when she tries to get me to eat. (Frank, 2002, p. 1) A psychiatrist (Rosie O'Donnell) helps a troubled boy who is in a foster care system, the book and movie are called America. The book was a really good but, the movie wasn't. In the movie, the psychiatrist's name is Rosie O’Donnell and in the book, the therapist's name is Dr.B. America is in foster care system called Ridgeway. In the movie it didn't have as much exciting events in it than the book. All of the characters personalities in the movie were so bland and boring. The events that happened in the movie looked way different than the same events that were pictured from the book, in the book, in a certain event that America was screaming, swearing and throwing objects everywhere and breaking stuff but, in the movie America screamed at Rosie and swore a little bit then ran out of the room. In the movie, the acting was kind of laid back and made every exciting part of the movie less exciting. …show more content…

Some parts of the book were cut out to make the movie shorter, those parts weren't very important but those parts still helped develop the theme of the book and helped character development. In the book you can image an event any way you want to but in the movie it images the event for you and it might be disappointing when the event in the movie isn't the same way you perceived it would be like when America was screaming, swearing and, throwing objects it wasn't the same from the book to the movie and that made it less exciting and

I was disappointed with the movie because of how many things they changed. If they made the movie more similar to the book, it would’ve been much better. They tried too hard to make a good movie and they strayed away from the main points of the book. Something informative I learned from the book is how badly slaves were treated. They didn’t really show that in the movie.

Also the little things that caught my attention like when Sarny screamed after Nightjohn lost his finger and when Mr. Waller made Mrs. Waller slap Sarny. In the book their was less things going on, their was less descriptions, and it was not as specific. I liked the movie more than the book because in the movie you can see how the characters looked. In the movie you can see the kind of person each character is like if they were nice or mean. Also in the movie you could see the pain in a slave’s face after they were whipped or if the got their finger cut

The second World War resulted in a demand for workers after men began leaving for the war. Due to a lot of the working men in America going overseas as well as the demand for war products, women became a major source of labor. Propaganda began to address women, persuading them that it was their duty to start working for the men. The film The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter gives personal accounts of some of the hardships women faced in the era surrounding WWII, and how the media was used to create a desire for women to work.

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

There are a multitude of scenes in the book that didn't make it into the movie. Some of these scenes were the most exciting scene in the book and other scenes really were ok to take out due to the amount of time the movie could be. A scene which was in the book but not the movie was where Ponyboy and Johnny jumped off the train into a field of grass to get to their hideout. Also in the scene Johnny hurt his knee a little and had to take a break before they continued to walk to their hideout. Another scene which was not in the movie was the scene where Ponyboy asked a tractor driver where the old Church was located.

One comparison between the movie and book version is the darkness of the setting and the time in which it takes place. In both versions, the story takes place mostly at night, which is when all the action happens. The book also characterizes the setting as dark and the movie shows the darkness. The book and movie versions of

The book has a descriptive language, it has suspense and keeps you intrigued, and you can feel the emotions. The first reason I prefer the book over the movie is the descriptive language it uses. You can see the descriptive language everywhere in the book, which fascinates me and allows me to imagine the scene clearly and even feel how it would be like if I was in that scene. An example of the descriptive language was shown on page 15 “

The movie got Tris’s character somewhat similar to how the book conveyed her, which was very bland in the beginning but slowly showing her potential to being Dauntless. However, the movie never managed to show Tris’s dauntless side like the book did. Other character’s physical appearances were off, like Christina who was shorter in the movie but taller in the book, Peter didn’t look as buff and tough in the movie as the book described him, and Four was actually 6 years older in the movie. Other characters looked identical to the book’s descriptions, such as Al, Tris, and Molly. The movie did a good job portraying some of the book’s characters, but it didn’t even try including some of the others.

So a lot of small details from the book have to be cut. Also the movie has to rearrange the events in the book in a way that it is interesting for the spectator to watch. Sometimes books jump in time and use different literary methods that have to be changed when adapted to movies because they can slow or interrupt the rhythm of the movie.
