Explore the strengths and weaknesses of Kesey’s use of Chief Bromden as the narrator in the novel. Consider to what extent the Chief’s madness interferes with your understanding of what is actually happening and to what extent his visions symbolically reinforce the themes of the novel. Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a famous and interesting novel about a mental-illness hospital where a newcomer, gambler R.P McMurphy, creates all sorts of trouble at the ward. Furthermore, Kesey uses one of the patients at the ward as the narrator of the story. This character goes by the name of Chief Bromden; a six foot seven American-Indian who everyone else in the ward believes is deaf and dumb.
He creates a symbolic world where Nurse Ratchet disregards the rights of her patients, subjects them to undeserved punishments, and controls every aspect of their day-to-day lives, and exacts her revenge on the would-be hero McMurphy. Ken Kesey shows his distaste for the system by creating McMurphy, a voice that the patients can follow as a leader that stands up for their cause.

Compare and Contrast In the book the Kite Runner you get an abundant amount of detail describing the characters, and their lives. Though through the transition of making the book into a movie there is some details that were not filled or added. Making the two different in some ways, and the same in others. Assef is a character in the book that fits into this category perfectly. He was described as a bully in the book, which is the same as in the movie.
In contrast to the novel Frankenstein written by Mary Shelley, the movie had background music to each scene that set either an anticipant, nervous, worried, happy, or excited mood for the viewer. For example, before the monster would kill someone, the music in the film would go from pleasant to fast paced and terrifying. This music very adequately portrayed the horror genre of the story Frankenstein. The novel, although I am sure was meant to be terrifying, did not as effectively convey the emotions of terror that the screen play adaption was successful in doing. However, it must be taken into consideration that it was probably a very scary story years ago, but today horror stories are much more terrifying and intense than Frankenstein
In most translations from books to movies, producers sacrifice certain elements to narrow the focus and make the film unique to his style. All productions, except Kenneth Branagh's, cut certain elements and the use of film techniques, compared to the Victorian stage plays, allows different dramatic developments in the story. While Branagh's choice was to present the entire play in an absolute and exquisite language, Zeffirelli chose to compress it for the screen. Each choice has its merits, thus I think it's a mistake to compare the 2 versions. Retaining the originality to the dialogue in the text, Zeffirelli’s “Hamlet” is still unique to the director's vision.

'Tomorrow When the War Began' was written and directed by Stuart Beattie in 2010 which provided a much different view on the teenage fiction novel written by John Marsden in 1993. Stuart Beattie gave the film a much different look to the book because a film has to appeal to a teenage/adult age-span in order to get more views. Additionally they made the movie have a lot more suspense, action and sexual references, as they’re the main factors that sell in a film industry. Compared to the book, Stuart Beattie changed many of the character’s personalities and looks. In the book, Ellie was pictured as being practical and rough around the edges.
