I've got to say it wasn't easy trying to figure out which one I liked best, but I got to say I liked the film much more prominent then the novel. To see the action and adventure come to life was astonishing. Once you watch it though you see lots of differences from the novel and the film. You might see some from the characters or from something else. You will have to read it your self, but I will give you some differences to give you an idea of it.
It is rare to find perfect harmony in both. Usually, I try to read the book before I see the movie because I find it disappoints me in the reverse. Fully capturing the essence of a novel on film can be very challenging. Novels, in general, offer more background and insight and allow more time for character development. The best way to decide if the mediums are closely related is to do a side by side comparison and see if the movie can hold the same value.
The Hero’s Journey Report on “The Hunger Games” Joseph Campbell has written a “Hero’s Journey” which externally reflects the Greek civilization in its order and flexible society to take steps to become a greater Greek soldier. In Suzanne Collin’s novel “The Hunger Games,” the story of Katniss Everdeen, a girl from District Twelve in post-apocalyptic earth, faces many trials and terrors when she is sent to participate in the annual Hunger Games. “The Hero’s Journey” is seen all throughout this story, and is able to pin point the exact moments when Katnisses life turns upside down. Through out the book, we see Katniss transform from a barley-surviving citizen to the outer district to the heroin of the novel. Katnisses death is foreshadowed
If the reader does not read the book regularly, it can be easy to forget important details. This book resembles Don’t Know Much About History, by Kenneth C. Davis, which in comparison makes the book seem less engaging and more like an average history textbook. In spite of these shortcomings, there are several positive things about this book, and it succeeds on its delivery of several important qualities. For instance, the book illustrates an extremely extensive representation of the many of the pilgrims’ lives during the progression of Jamestown, from the starvation of its people to their terror of the Native Americans. For example, while the colony was struggling to merely get enough food to feed themselves, it is decribed as “Under the right conditions, it was a short step from eyeing rats and mice to eyeing the freshly fallen corpses.” (128).
In Ka Vang’s short story, “Ms. Pac-Man Ruined My Gang Life,” the reader takes a wild ride through the eyes of Asian “gangsta girl”, Cindy, who is struggling with her life as a current gang member and the future she has ahead. The author uses a first person narrative in order to better depict what actually goes on in Cindy’s mind. Cindy’s character in the story can be depicted as distracted and hardhearted as she struggles with the loyalty she has to her gang and best friend Nicky, and choosing a better future for herself. The author opens the story with “Mandy stole my boyfriend, Tiny.” The first sentence already sets the story’s conflict and lets readers understand the plot right in the beginning.
I have read the book Holes and also watched the movie, I realize that the movie and the book have more similarities than differences. I would like to point out a few of the similarities and differences which I will be going into more details in the next few paragraphs. Some differences are the weight size of Stanley between the book and the movie and the value of the treasure they discover are different as well . Some of the similarities were the accusation that Stanley stole the shoes of Clyde Livingston and the location of the punishment camp was similar throughout the book and movie. In the next paragraph I will be listing more differences and similarities.
The Outsiders, by Se Hinton, was very different from the movie the Outsiders. The book gave a lot move description but I’m glad I saw the movie to get the actual picture in my head. I don’t think people should by separate by the way they look or how much money they have. All people have feelings. If the movie had more detail it would be more interesting.
In the third and final book of the Hunger Games series, we find Katniss Everdeen alive and living in District Thirteen. Her original home, District Twelve, has been destroyed by the capitol and most of the other districts await the same fate, unless the rebels, who saved Katniss and live in District Thirteen, can stop them. It is up to Katniss to become the mockingjay she was meant to be and lead the rebels to defeating the capitol. But how will she do that when Peeta Mellark, her onscreen boyfriend, and good friend, has been captured by the capitol, and President Snow is doing everything in his power to see her fail? Will Katniss be able to gain control of Panem, or will the capitol’s reign last forever?
This is done for several reasons which include the idea that an addition to the movie may enhance the story. *The book has more information about the story while movies are shortened and with less information. Also, for what the producer and director believe will enhance the entertainment aspect of the film, they made add information that was not at all seen in the book. So people should read the books before they watch the movie. The other aspect of the book vs the movie is the instant ability to re-read passages that at first the reader did not totally grasp.
Today I want to try my best to persuade you why you should read books. It is a disappointment that nowadays people read books less often due to the widespread of technology Books were v hundred years ago, but with the invention of radio, television, and the Internet and computer games, people careless for reading books.However, once you complete reading a great written book it will have a great effect on it will motivate you to become a better person and increases your knowlage a lot and provide you with great inspiration. Some people argue that television in the present days is much more informative and interacting I agree on that to some extent. Television, on one hand, offers a colourful motion picture, whereas, the books, on the other hand allows you to think imaginatively with the characters in the book and their background story and the atmosphere that the story takes place.There are also people wondering why they would read from books rather than from online websites? spending hours reading from internet can cause you headaches and pain in your eyes, on the other hand books dosent cause you headaches nor problem in your eyes no matter how long you read except if you are reading it from a wrong angle .
