The Crucible: The Book or The Movie? When asked the question in which format, the book or the movie, do you as the student get more out of?

Its not just the fact that I am a bit more of a visual learner but the simple fact the movie was fantastic because of its wonderful portrayal of the characters and the cohesiveness between the movie and the book. The actors in this movie make an all star cast of Hollywood’s most heralded and respected people.
Tom Hanks' Career is a Urinary Morality Play Most movie stars use their careers to build up enough credibility to avoid urinating onscreen. Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller each had a couple piss gags early on, and then they got successful. It's just not
Each serves its purpose well; the steel frame buildings just do so with more flair. I like to think that only a good movie would still be watched after fifty-three years. But, everything good about the book is missing or distorted (plot, characters, details). The plot is too convoluted to make a movie.

Movie Assignment LeAndre Roberts Dr. West Bacone College 3/19/14 The movie I chose to watch was, “Do The Right Thing” directed by Spike Lee. There are a lot of things that I loved about this movie.

His outlook of the American Dream is the reason his sons never succeeded. Willy never preached hard work, seemingly okay with his son failing math.
