Differences Between The Giver Book And Movie

Differences Between The Giver Book And Movie
This essay is about comparing the Giver book and movie. The Giver is a story about a boy named Jonas who was chosen to be the community's next
Receiver of Memory. He lived in a community where everything was chosen for the citizens, and everything was perfect. During Jonas' training, he
realized that the community was missing something and that there was more in the world. Jonas wanted the everybody to know that. The Giver book
was then made into a movie. Though the two were based on the same story, there are three important differences that could've made them two separate
stories. The three main differences between the book and the movie are Asher and Fiona's Assignments, the similarity all Receivers had and the Chief
Elder's role. One...show more content...
His parents did, and Lily did, and so did all of his group members and friends. But there were a few exceptions: Jonas himself, and a female Five who
he had noticed had the different, lighter eyes," (pg. 20 – Lois Lowry). Only those with light eyes would become the next Receiver of Memory, which is
why it was such an important detail. In the Giver movie, it was changed into a birthmark. That birthmark was shaped like a triangle and in the
movie, all Receivers of Memory had them. The third main difference between The Giver book and the movie was the Chief Elder's role. In the Giver
book, the Chief Elder was not much of an important character, "The initial speech at the Ceremony of Twelve was made by the Chief Elder, the leader
of the community who was elected every ten years," (pg. 51 – Lois Lowry). However, the Chief Elder played an important role in the Giver movie. In
the book, the Chief spoke in a few chapters during Ceremonies and that was all. The Giver movie's Chief Elder always watched Jonas closely. She
started becoming suspicious of Jonas, and so she would warn Jonas' mother and The Giver. She then found out about Jonas' plan to escape. When she
did, she ordered Asher to "lose him" (The Giver movie). That meant she wanted Asher to kill Jonas. This essay was about the three main differences
between the Giver book and the Giver movie. The first main difference was talked about in the first body paragraph. That paragraph was about

Books Better Than Movies
Why Books Are Better Than Movies
Do you enjoy reading books? Have you ever wondered why some people prefer books over movies? Books hold a certain level of awesomeness that
movies just simply can't cover. I strongly believe that books are better than movies for many reasons. Today I would like to share with you guys a
couple of things: the rumor that good book= good movie, what makes a book better, and what books are better. When a movie comes out that is based
on a good book you once read, you expect the movie to be as good as the book, even though this is not always the case. According to The Washington
Post, directors sometimes will add another season to a show before the next book comes out. This happened in 2016 with "Game of Thrones."
George R.R. Martin, the author of the series' book, said that he was still months away from publishing the next book. This meant that HBO came
out with a sixth season before corresponding material in the book came out. This caused a conflict because the audience was confused on how the tv
series and the new book would correspond since the new tv series came out before the next book. Over the years, there has been a lot of debate on
whether books held more weight than movies. The Odyssey Online states that ever since the first book was adapted into a movie (Sherlock Holmes),
there has been much debate on which was better–the movie, or the book. To most people, the book was better. There are many reasons why books are
better than movies,

As a film student, I believe that films can have a lot of effects on people. They are visually entertaining and can be exciting for all ages, but books also
have a lot of powers that will be talked about here. There are many of the differences between books and movies. The main points to be compared and
contrasted are imagination, time consumption, the entertainment value, and the ideas and media.
Films make you observe the situations happening in a story while books make you feel it. One will never feel what the characters are feeling in a film.
He/she will not be reading every single one of their innermost thoughts, which includes all of the character's fears and doubts. When one watches a
film or reads a book, there is usually a character that is inhabited by each audience member. In a book, the audience can inhabit the hero who kills
the bad characters or the girl or boy who battles cancer with all the pain and uncertainty that is included in the process. They can also inhabit a
demigod, angel, villain, hero, lover, or a hater. They have significant control over themselves. There are no limitations nor restrictions, making
anything possible and not out of reach. When you read a book, nothing else will matter outside the world in the book because you get to live as
someone else and work your imagination on what that character does and how he/she behaves and the reasons behind his actions. In other words, you
become the actor
in that story. An example could be the time

The Novel Of Red Dog: Books Vs. Movies
In September 2001, The Novel of Red Dog written by Louis de BerniГЁres was written to tell the wonderful real story of Red Dog who travelled
around the world to find his long lost master, John. In February 2011, that Novel was turned into a film written by Daniel Taplitz, directed by Kriv
Stenders and produced by Nelson Woss and Julie Ryan. Many people believe that novels are better than films as you can treasure you book but
movies use the plot, characters and settings to bring life to the pages. The literary term Plot is used to describe the events that make up a story or the
main part of the story. This is used to make a story more interesting and bring it to life. The book is straight forward, starting at the very start, with Jack
and Maureen

To Kill A Mockingbird– Differences between Movie and Book There are usually differences in two different versions of something. This can often
be seen when a book is made into a movie. There are many similarities and differences in the book and movie versions of To Kill A Mockingbird by
Harper Lee. To begin with, there are many similarities between the book and movie To Kill A Mockingbird. For example, Tom Robinson died in an
attempt to escape from prison in both the book and the movie. In my opinion Tom's death was crucial to the original story, and I believe the movie
would have been seen as over–sentimental if the scriptwriters had let him live. Another important similarity between the book and movie, is the mutual
fascination...show more content...
In comparison with the many similarities in the book and movie versions of To Kill A Mockingbird, there are also many differences. One huge
difference that was almost impossible to miss, was the absence of Aunt Alexandra. Atticus' sister, Alexandra, was the thorn in Scout's side
throughout the book. She always wanted Scout to act more like a lady. Towards the end, she became more like a mother in soothing Scout and
trying to reassure her that Jem was not dead. I think Aunt Alexandra was a huge part of the story, and I think they should have kept her in the
movie. Be that as it may, the movie moved along quite well without her. I also found there to be huge differences in the trial. For example, although
Mayella Ewell, pretended to be very upset by Atticus' questioning, she did not accuse him of mocking her. I thought that this was somewhat
significant because it was one of Mayella's tactics for trying to get pity from the jury. A more minor difference, was the combination of Miss
Maudie and Miss Rachel. The two neighbors of the Finches were combined into one person for the movie. I do not think it mattered very much,
because they served the same purpose in the end. They were there as comfort to Atticus and the children. A larger difference in the movie pertained to
Mrs. Dubose. Mrs. Dubose did make a small appearance in the movie, but her role was cut down quite a bit from what it was originally in the book.
Mrs. Dubose, a morphine addict,

Differences Between Harry Potter Book And Movie
Many people have watched the magical movies of Harry Potter, but, with the books being longer than the movies, how much magic was lost in
translation? To answer this question, I want to go over what the bigger differences are between the films and movies. While the overall plot stayed
the same, there were plenty of changes made for the movie adaptation which I believe made the books much better by comparison. One big change
that is noticed instantly when watching the movies is the removal of Peeves. In the books, Peeves the poltergeist is a mischievous spirit in that roams
the school and torments students and staff. Despite this, he is beloved by readers as he appears in pretty much every book, seeing as he is connected
to the wizarding...show more content...
This resulted in a lot of movie watchers feeling as though they forgot to watch a prequel. Granted, although they may not have much of a backstory in
the movies, and what backstory they do have is more implied than actually stated, all members do appear in the movies and maintain the same
personalities that were shown in the book. In the movies they also hinted at how mischievous they all were, by introducing the watchers to the
Marauders map. So when watching the movies, you may not know much about the Marauders and how they were and you may not hold the same
fondness for them, making many scenes slightly less emotional, but you know of them and you get to understand their personality a bit despite the
missing context. Everyone who both read the books and saw the movies received the same impression of the character Hermione Granger, she was very
clever and made a great role model for the female fans, but unfortunately not everyone got to see just how much of a righteous activist she really
was. In the books, Hermione started a group named S.P.E.W. which stood for, "Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare". This started when
Hermione witnessed the horrible way house elves were treated, specifically one house elf, who unfortunately wasn't even introduced in the movies,
named Winky. SPEW made an excellent side story of sorts, but because it was more of a side story than part of the actual plot, there's no surprise it
was left out of the movies completely.

This can show how book are the soupier to movies because without the book in the first place the movie would have never made. Movies like Harry
Potter, Hunger Games, Speak, Twilight, The Book Thief, How to Train Your Dragon, and many more. All of these movies started as renowned books,
that had won many awards. However when they are made into movies the audience loses some of the key factors that played into making the book so
famous. When reading the books, the reader can get an idea of the feeling of characters. Readers know exactly what they are thinking, how they are
feeling and what they are planning to do next. In earlier Shakespearian plays director attempted to keep this idea of know what the main character was
feeling and thinking by adding in a monologue. But this monologue was broken away from the rest of the play. Actors would break character and
speak directly to the audience of what they were thinking and wanted. This was later seen as distracting to the audience though, and it was removed in
later production, and is why we do not see them in movies now. Books have a nicer flow to them and inside because readers will always know what the
character is thinking, feeling, and going to do. Something that audiences do not get in the theaters, showing again that books have better understanding
of quality.
Continuing on with better qualities of books, readers will get a better feeling of accomplishment when they finish

The Book Thief Book Vs Movie Essay
In this section of The Book Thief a lot of the book is starting to build up. We already know most of the main characters. We have gotten to know
about each one, and we have enough information to know their personalities, interests they have, and a clear image in our heads of what they may be
like in person. Not only are the characters being built up the main plot and strory line is being built up also, we learn about the war going on and how
Hitler is taking over. Also the section is introducing a newcharacter Max, and some foreshadowing Death does gives us hints that he will have a
important role I the book.

The main reason I had chosen her is because of her role in nar is she had played. She was such a young girl but is so strong and mature for her age. I
feel like she can play Leisels role and fits my image of what Leisel is like. Jack Scanlon as Rudy Steiner because of the role he had played in the boy in
the striped pajamas. This movie is also about Jews and Germans and basically about what was happening in the book thief but a different aspect of
the war. I feel like Jack Scanlon could perfectly fit Rudy Steiners looks and play the role well. Geoffrey Rush as Hans Hubermann. I had chosen this
because I saw him in the movie Pirates of the Carabien and he had seemed to have a very loving and caring face that fits the role of Hams since Hans
is explained that way so far in the book their, and is how Leisel sees

Book Vs Movie
The age old question of whether the book is better than the movie. There is much more to it than that when you consider how the effect of their means
of production, textual forms, technologies, affect the messages being portrayed. Marshall McLuhan famously said, "The medium is the message." I
don't believe that the media of production is indistinguishable to the message because the content still exists as a separate entity to that of its form,
however I agree to some extent with McLuhan's proposed idea that the medium is of equal importance to the message being communicated. The
medium, or the way the audience receives a message, largely influences the way the message is perceived, whether it is through a poem, a
documentary, a pamphlet, or even an oil painting. But how do the composers choose the form that their work will take? There are many factors to be
taken into consideration by composers when choosing a medium of...show more content...
The poster urged the audience to "Vote LBJ, the Liberal way" in large bold letters, to "Defeat Goldwater and his right–wing extremists," which was
written at the bottom. On the middle of the poster were pictured the members of the Democratic Party and a guide to voting for them. The visual and
print components work in conjunction with each other to persuade the reader to vote for LBJ, and the information is structured in such a way that it
benefits from the nature of the medium. Although there is no defined linear structure to the poster like in a print text, the structure of this poster relates
the information together clearly, with a pointing hand and similar colour used to direct attention. The readers are given the freedom to process the
information presented by their own, but the message is still clear however the information is processed, as it is bolded and large at the top in

Reading is also better to help increase ones vocabulary and ones understanding of the world all around them, whereas movies can damage your
brain and weaken your eye sight. There are books on almost any and every topic in the world. One day you can be reading about the Gods battling

but you can read about the history of the world and learn about its effect on you and your life. Learn what it was like to live in the 1800's and how

humans love to do when hanging out with friends. Reading takes time, you need to have patience to sit down and read through a book, which is a
skill many people lack. That is why we have producers and other script–writers who read the book for you, edit the book and form it into a script, add
and subtract a few things, then spend months filming a movie that will eventually come out the next year or so. Then you can go to the theater and
enjoy watching it with whomever you go with. Besides, you can't just go read a book with a friend and expect to both equally love it. You guys may
have totally different intakes on it. But movies do leave out some major details that were mentioned in the book. So they have to

With the constant streaming of new movies and television shows available, moviegoers tend to watch them for fun. They see an entertaining movie
about conflict that sparks the sense of adventure in them. But do they really grasp what the movie can teach the viewers? With today's society, the
themes are lost in the entertainment purposes. However, books have developed to do what a movie does and so much more. In this way books give
life to all people that read them. When a person reads a book they are entranced in the plot line. They have to comprehend and understand in order to
finish the book and have it make sense. Movies can just be idly watched without gaining attention or intellect. Due to this, movies do not leave an

The movie based off of Inkheart by Cornelia Funke takes out many scenes that are important to the book. They also change the entire ending so it
throws off the original themes and meanings in the book. This movie did a terrible job with connecting the two pieces together and left many
people upset with the ending. The book was a glorified version of the movie when compared. That is how it should be. Inkheart was not the only
book that changed when turned into a movie. Tuesday's with Morrie, by Mitch Albom, is another example of a movie that changes what the book
intended. The movie did a great job of portraying the book though it did make some changes that changed the focus of the movie. Instead of fully
receiving the concept of "it is never too late," the lesson that anyone can have an impact on another person is shown. Though these are very similar,
they are not the same. The way it is portrayed tends to leave a stronger message with the book then it does in the movie and that makes all the
difference. This is the same for the Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini.
In this movie, they take out many parts from the book. This does not necessarily change a lot of the initial concepts but it has an effect. When
something is taken out, like a suicide attempt, it takes the intensity out of the movie that was received from the book. Though the movie teaches the
lesson that the book does, it does not have the strength it did as in the book. That connect people get from reading

The Maltese Falcon: Book Vs. Movie Essay
The Maltese Falcon: Book Vs. Movie
Many time in our lives, we have seen the transformation of novels into movies. Some of them are equal to the novel, few are superior, and most are
inferior. Why is this? Why is it that a story that was surely to be one of the best written stories ever, could turn out to be Hollywood flops? One
reason is that in many transformations, the main characters are changed, some the way they look, others the way they act. On top of this, scenes are
cut out and plot is even changed. In this essay, I will discuss some of the changes made to the characters of the Maltese Falcon as they make their

A technological disadvantage that the movie had was the absence color. In the novel, Miss O?Shaughnessey?s hair is described as ?darkly red.? Her
red hair helps to develop a devilish theme that goes along very well with her intentions and her personality. This is also missed in the movie.
The character Joel Cairo is one of the most interesting in the book, and the movie as well. I thought he was perfectly cast by the production crew
and they did a very good job of including the necessary details about him: the perfumed business card, the white handkerchief, and his girlish voice.
I thought the portrayal of Cairo in the movie was better than that of the book largely due to the fact that he was a homosexual. We could hear his
voice and see his movements much better in the movie. When we hear a voice, if it is flagrant enough, we can almost automatically tell if someone
is a homosexual. The same goes for the movements that they make, or how they react to being hit or punched. These things cannot be picked up in
the book and I think they are important to his character. I believe that the movie has a better portrayal of Joel Cairo than the book does. Samuel
Spades secretary, Effie Perine, is one of the most important characters in the novel. Constantly she is taking care of Sam, making sure he knows what
he is doing. You could say that she is somewhat of a conscience for him. Sam trusts her very much. In fact, she

is based on the true story of Chris McCandless who, after graduating with honors from Emory University in 1990, gave his entire savings of
twenty–four thousand dollars to charity and set off following his dream of living off the land in the Alaskan wilderness. McCandless made it to

Although the book doesn't follow the chronological order of the exact events that took place either, it does it in a different way than the movie. In
contrast to the film, we learn about Chris McCandless in the same order as the writer, John Krakauer, did himself. Krakauer starts the book with a
tone of hopelessness that is not shared in the movie. In the beginning, Krakauer, and Chris's parents visit the bus where their son's dead body was
discovered. The movie is all from Chris's perspective, and the book is a pieced together look at Chris through the eyes of his family, mainly his
sister, friends he made along the way and pretty much any other outsider with an opinion on Chris's life and death. The film and the book present
McCandless in different, but similar ways; some may say it's the difference between fact and fiction. Both are obviously interpretations of Chris
McCandless's life and death, but I find the book to be more factual. Krakauer dug in deep, and got extensive interviews from the few people Chris
considered to be his friends. In fact, the majority of the first chapter in the book is based on the memory of Jim Gallien, the man who dropped Chris
off at the head of the Stampede Trail in Alaska. The movie, on the other hand, starts with actor, Emile Hersh, who plays McCandless, reading Chris's
own words from personal journals. The book looks at Chris as more of a tragic psychological

Why are audiences so upset with the way the movie turned out after reading the book? " Ask any reader who has seen the movie version of a

are not sticking to their all–time favorite book. Growing up with books like Harry Potter, as readers or having someone reading to us our minds

trees and here the wind blow through the castles. Reading a book compared to watching the movie brings up controversy; with books readers use their
After reading the book, must readers feel that they lived another life, unless it's a series, the reader will feel completed. However, with the movie
there are time constraints to think about and they need to achieve the right rating for the movie. In the books the writers has more freedom with the
story line, when it comes to the movie they need to make sure it targets the right audience. The Harry Potter movies always have been geared toward
children and teens, so they cut things out to achieve that goal. The Goblet of Fire was a 734– page book that would be a 10 hour movie. The screen
writer Steve Kloves said "it took him two years to figure out how to make the movie and deciding what parts to cut out" (Corliss, 2005, pp. 3–3). They
took the first hundred pages and put it into a thrilling 20 minutes. They need to make the movie exciting by cutting out some of the narrative and
zipping through some of it. There are some movie critics that love the movies because they cut out the boring narration of the books. Readers interact
with the book and use their minds to imagine the story while movie–audiences are more passively enjoying the movie. We see how and why things
change from reading books and how the movie may have a different concept. When reading books, a person is creating their own movie in a sense.
You know how the character speaks, what they look like. Where the director is showing how he perceived the story and

What Is The Difference Between Books And Movies
Books vs. Movies
Books and movies are two of the most loved activities that people do in their free time, yet they are two very different media types, although they still
have a lot in common. The thesis of this essay is to compare and contrast these two entertainment media types, especially in the aspects of imagination
and the time consumed.
Firstly, both reading a book and watching a movie takes the individual's imagination. Reading allows the reader to visualize the condition, location,
characters and their various personalities. Each person who reads the book has a different idea of what these aspects look like because each person
visualizes things differently. Think of how each sees the color red differently; this is the same with each's imagination. Furthermore, reading allows
the reader to become more creative. Movies, on the other hand, come from the imagination of one or only a handful of individuals. Movies require
creativity, yes, but considerably less than a book does, because it already provides the visual stimulation that a reader creates in their minds. As
reading encourages creativity in readers of all ages, movies also encourage creativity, especially in children. It is evident to see that both books and
movies require imagination, only on different levels, and both induce creativity in the spectators.
The second aspect to be discussed is the time these activities consume. Creating a story, and writing it down for others to read, is a

Reading Vs Watching The Movie
Which is better reading the book or watching the movie first? There are many debates whether one should read the book or watch the movie.
Reading and watching are similar in some ways. Reading is thrilling because you don't know what's going to happen, and it's the same with
watching. Another similarity is, both can help us visualize characters and expand our imagination. The only difference between the two is the
educational part. But both have their own benefits and drawbacks. Reading the book first is a proactive way to learn about details, while watching
is a entertaining way to learn. Talking about benefits, watching and reading are basically the same when it comes to the reactions. When people are
reading they'd want to have the feeling of anticipation because they'd want to know what would happen. Books like Harry Potter wants you to
anticipate what the next chapters are going to be. Readers like to be focused and entertained when reading. If a book kept on switching plots to
flashbacks and present too many times without warning and no context , then that would confuse readers. I mean no one would want to read a book
if there isn't any solid plot. Books that has the "OMG" sense will make it an interesting book. Besides anticipation, there are other reactions readers
give off when reading. Other readers might feel the excitement and some might not because all books depends on the tone. For example if the title of
the book was "Death of my Other Half", readers

The Great Gatsby : Movie vs. Book Essay
Essay for The Great Gatsby The plot and the setting of book and movie are very similar. There was a lot of thins borrowed from the book, but there
was a lot changed as well. The movie followed the plot of book very closely and portrayed the setting of the book very well. A lot of the dialogue
was borrowed and spoken directly as it was in the book. The movie did an excellent job portraying the 1920's and the parties that happened at Gatsby's
house. "There was music from my neighbor's house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like months among
the whisperings and the champagne and the stars" (39). The scenes of the parties at Gatsby's house portrayed people dancing, music and drinking. It
Farrow's voice was high and squeaky and that took away from the character that Daisy was. "It was the kind of voice that the ear follows up and
down, as if each speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again" (9). Daisy also appeared to have a crush on Nick. In the movie,
Daisy acted overly affectionate towards Nick. The book never gave the impression that Daisy had a crush on Nick. In the movie, Daisy's daughter,
Pammy, did not get a lot of emphasis but the scene where Gatsby actually saw Daisy's daughter went very well. Robert Redford played the part
