The incredible journey that changed their point of view. The Incredible Journey and the movie Homeward bound: The Incredible Journey were very inspirational. The Book was the tail of two dogs and a cat travel across Canada to try and find Luaths master and go home. In the movie they were on a journey but the events are a little different. They are very similar, but they differ in characters, setting, and adventures. And that is a little about the book and movie.
The characters are very different by the personalities, names, and actual being. Tao he becomes Sassy who is pampered, as her names says very sassy and her gender which influences her personality.

Luath becomes Shadow, he is the old dog who is more calm, energetic and is a lot stronger and wiser. These are some character changes that influenced the story. …show more content…

Well for starters in the book they were in Canada but the movie takes place in San Francisco which changes their journey, difficulties, and their mood. The weather affected them by making it hotter or colder so the journey, the weather would make the journey longer, and since Canada is cooler then it would have taken longer for the journey. The last on is where Longridge lives in the book he lives in a remote area in Canada, in the movie Frank lives on a farm that is remote, and this makes their Journey easier and harder.

The movie gives her character the same temperament as in the text. The movie does the same for Herbert, for example, in both the text and movie Herbert is presented as a light-hearted character who does not believe in the monkey’s paw, but instead makes humourous jokes about the tales behind it. The movie does make his character seem a little older than what the text does, but his personality is the same as the text. Another character that is true to his role is Sergeant-Major Morris. His character in the text and movie is very dark and mysterious.

However, there are differences like Connie and her mother’s relationship and how the movie continued even after Connie got into Arnold Friend’s car. First, the short story “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been” is placed during the 1960s in drive-in restaurants, shopping malls, and homes out in the country.

The book follows the story through the eyes of the author as he investigates the mysteriousness of Chris’ life through the eyes of those he came in contact with and the journals left behind. However like every book adapted into movie there are slight differences and characterizations throughout the story that aren’t expressed deeply enough or seen in a different light. Into the Wild is no different.

The first difference that I have immediately noticed is that the story starts out in the middle at Frank’s funeral, but the movie starts out in a field. Another difference in the movie is the absence of Frank's sister, Cathleen and older brother, Steve who we read about in the story. " Next day Steve drove with his wife back to Baltimore where he managed the branch office of a bank, and Cathleen, the middle child, drove with her husband back to Syracuse." (p. 80) Moreover, in both versions the characters have different jobs, for example Matt owns a store in the story.

No matter how hard directors and screenwriters try, it is impossible for any movie to be a perfect reflection of the detailed plot and intricate characters presented in a novel. I had watched the film adaption of Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend prior to reading the book, I was very aware of major differences from the get go. The to main categories that I could see differences being placed in were emotion and action. Many aspects of the book were changed to emphasize both either emotion or action for the film. Considering pieces of literature cannot be easily transferred to the screen, few of these changes were very necessary.

Though there were many differences in the book compared to the movie there were still many thing that were the same for it still had the same plot the same murder and the same intentions of the murderer to kill everybody on the island. Some more things alike between the book and the movie was that the story followed the nursery rhyme "Ten Little Indians" and there were the china figures of the ten little Indians. A big thing that is simular is that they both take place on Indian Island in a large mansion bought by a "Mr. Owen".

The author included Madeline architecture teacher by having him being the only visitor besides her nurse to grade her projects.

In the book, the story takes place in what could be near present day. However, in the movie the community is extremely sophisticated with their technology, that it makes the novel seem like it's taking place in a completely different century. To get the purpose of the book across, the filmmakers didn’t have to advance the community, therefore I believe the book has a superior setting. One similarity is, the book and movie had a similar interpretation for elsewhere. Each of the descriptions is bare wilderness, without civilization for miles.

It is crazy to think how pop culture can point to the things it works so hard to reject, but in the case of Divergent by Veronica Roth, parallels between it and the gospel abound. Divergent is set in a dystopian Chicago in which the citizens are divided into 5 factions; the brave, the selfless, the intelligent, the honest and the kind. The story follows Tris Prior, a sixteen year old girl who realizes her Divergence, or possession of characteristics of more than one faction. The novel and film adaption of Divergent include many similarities to the gospel, notably the emphasis on a choice of commitment, the concept that we need more than one characteristic to grow, that salvation is brought about through sacrifice, and that humankind is at its heart, evil.

Matt Brickner Beat Class 9/27/16 On the Road After reading Jack Kerouac’s novel, hearing that there was actually a movie adaptation immediately struck me because I was trying to think about how a director would go about turning Kerouac’s writing style into a film with an apparent plot. The reason I thought this was because On the Road is written in a way that I don’t think I can draw an accurate comparison in other literature I have read. The book is written in a very “stream of thought” sort of style, in that Kerouac, made it seem like everything he was describing, which at some points was everything around him, was just popping into his head and then going straight onto paper, such as descriptions of paper mache mountains and the like.
