Movie vs Book The movie Walter Mitty is better than the book. It is better because in the movie he does more and sees more than in the book. In the movie he is like a turtle in his shell, but by the end of the movie he comes out to see the world. In the book he is more of a hero than a loner and in real life he is yelled at by his wife.

The secret life of Walter Mitty is a short story by James Thurber with a movie adaptation made in 2013; the movie adaptation is the clear better choice due to a multitude of reasons.

This gives the audience an interesting subplot and gives Walter an objective. Walter is in love with his co-worker Cheryl and has frequent daydreams about her and wants her to like him.
There are many similarities between the book and movie too. One example is, both show/talk about how the Jewish people were sent to the ghettos and how poorly they were treated. After watching Schindler’s List, it is clearer about how the selections went on in the concentration
“The Elevator”, “The Monkey’s Paw”, and “The Parachutist” are similar because they all demonstrate that the title of the story is significant to each short story.

The title, “The Monkey’s Paw” is also significant to the story because the monkey’s paw becomes the source of the conflict. “The Parachutist”, the title is also important to the story but in a different way.

Some similarities are small, like the magic talking fish; but others, like the underlying motivation to be happy, are very important to the morals of the stories. Both Sergei and the fisherman want to be happy, Sergei wants to be happy alone on quite fishing trips, while the fisherman wants to be happy with his wife. The morals, even though they are tied together, are fairly different.

In the movie they try too hard to make it funny and it makes the jokes half as funny as they could be.
