I think they distorted the story because they added punishment to the bad characters. I believe they thought they were improving them and maybe adding some moral tones to the story. After reading the stories I found a lot of violence then other versions I have read or watched. I believe the telling of Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Beauty and the best by Disney is an improvement from Grimms. Disney added more of a magical feel to the story and took out of some the violence.

It warms the heart of the reader and motivates them to do something to help the children that are being abused. The book shouldn’t be read by younger children or people who are easily grossed out by gory details because it’s a very graphic and disturbing book. If people can’t handle the graphic details, they should at least be told a summary of what the book is about and what happens to him and how he feels. David inspired me by showing that even a young child, incapable of caring for themselves, can get through horrible, life threatening incidences and grow up to be a successful, loving man.

Kids of any age will try to convince their parents that they are sick so they don’t have to go to school for the day and hate school. “Little Rock Nine”, on the other hand, actually valued their education. They literally put their lives on the line to go to Central High School and learn. Sure some people sometimes travel three or more hours to get to school but to have to deal with a riot everyday and be criticized for how they look is just cruel. Kids these days have no idea how hard life was back then, even the African American student haven’t a clue to how harsh life was, not just in Central High School but their lives in general were always being tortured.
Of course, all books are more descriptive. What I liked about the movie is that they actually showed the dream Pony boy had and they also showed Dally robbing the grocery store; something the book doesn't tell. Both the book and the movie are great, and you should watch it, but the book is better. In conclusion as you can tell there are many differences, but there are also many things that are alike between the book and the movie. I enjoyed both the book and the movie, but personally I think the book was better, because the movie left some of the things out that the book had in it.
Thrust into the real world with our confidence almost permanently shattered, we are expected to be successful and important when prior to that we were always told the opposite. Bullying harms us not only in our youth, but for the rest of our lives. In the poem “To This Day” by Shane Koyczan, we hear the story of children who have faced the effects of being bullied. A little girl for something as foolish as a birthmark on her face and a boy for thinking pork chops and karate chops were the same. Age did not change the words that cut through that poor little girl.
War is inevitable, there will always be conflicts among people, countries and leaders. War affects children in all the ways it affects adults, but also in different ways. Children are dependent on their parents for care, food, water and shelter. War adversely affects the lives of the children when they lose their parents to the war, lack of opportunity for an education and the possibility of living in a refuge. Children are exposed to situations of terror and horror during wars, such experiences that may leave traumatic impacts upon the children.
That he is strayed by the rest of the town - peer pressure. Mr Cunningham is also just like everyone else he has his blind spots.

An example of this is when he needs help from Molly to tie up his shoe laces. The theme Innocence is shown through this character as he shows his lack of understanding to the world around him not understanding why things are the way they are. Innocence is also shown through Tommo’s age. Events also help to portray this theme when Tommo doesn’t know how to ‘tie his shoe laces’ and molly (a main character) helps him to learn how to. Tommo, being seen as one of the younger ones at war, had innocence present because people treated him like the ‘baby’ of the group.
