Yet, it is very clear that the novel is greatly inferior. Harry Hook does not quite capture the character of Piggy, fails to include important symbols, and lacks the emphasis of order. First off, the movie portrays Piggy as a whiney and generally useless character. However, the book shows a very different depiction. Piggy is one of the first characters introduced in the novel, and he is described as "the fat boy", which encourages the reader to like him and sympathize towards him, even if nobody else does.
Dana Stevens summarizes Johnson’s essay by stating his claim that shows are becoming more complex and more complicated over the last two decades and watching it makes you smarter. Stevens disagrees with Johnson and believes that most shows assist in rotting the brain and also claims that not watching TV will not make you dumber. Stevens then criticizes Johnson for not mentioning the recent controversies and terrorism in 24, and that he fails to account the commercials that interrupt the show. Common sense seems to dictate that watching too much TV is bad for you and that it doesn’t make you smarter. In my own view, I agree with Stevens that watching TV does not make you any smarter.
Strategic Design at Dynacorp CCWe)re too slow, too unresponsive to the market, and too undisciplined about costs. And the main reason is how we)re m;ganized-it just isn)t working any more. We)ve outgrown the old design in so many ways, but we)re still trying to manage with the same structure we had when we started the company.)) -Dynacorp product manager cCThere)s a lot of talk now about changing our organization design. But we should be careful that we)re not throwing the baby out with the bath- water.
The events in the movie are both unlike and alike the events in the novel. They were mostly similar because the movie was based on the novel, in other words the movie pretty much was the reenactment of the novel. For example the book was based on the two groups the Greasers and Socs and how they did not get along well, this lead to deaths which were shown in both of the movie and novel. The movie tended to exclude some scenes that were included within the novel. For example in the movie they did not include the scene when PonyBoy gets jumped by the Socs.
Not only would people not sit through a movie that long, some things don’t translate well from book to film. The screenwriter and the director have to decide what parts aren’t needed to tell the story and what parts can be moved around to make the film flow in a more fluid way. The director also has to find a way to take descriptions in the book and make images out of them. Without good editing and imagery you can still get a good film, it just won’t be a film that is true to the book. For Example, in the book Anne Frank, she was in love with Peter Vanpels a boy that was inside the annex with her.
The latter and second choice of film is “Elizabeth R”, nineteen seventy one, a heavyweight period drama that the BBC were, and still are, so good at. The cast features Glenda Jackson and Robert Hardy amongst others. It was a six part “mini-series” shown on BBC2. This was part of the BBC’s drive at the time towards this kind of drama as “The six wives of Henry VIII” was shown a year earlier. Although more mainstream in that it was shown to a wider audience, Elizabeth R was still on the fringes of public taste.
Lord of the Flies vs Cast Away Although the book “Lord of the Flies” and the movie “Cast Away” have a number of similarities, they also have some notable differences. Both stories have fire, but are used for different reasons. The fact that both take place on an island that have comparable features, and each story involves a place crash, but under different circumstances. In both the movie “Cast Away” and the book “Lord of the Flies”, Chuck and the boys build a fire. But on one hand they didn’t make the fire for all the same reasons.
They were fed up with this type of illusionary film and that’s when they decided to create the Vow of Chastity which had its own set of rules to determine if a film was Dogma 95 or not. The second Dogma 95 film The Idiots takes a problem like retardation and makes it liberating. In this film people pretending to be retarded try to prove a point by leaving their regular middle class lives and revolting by ultimately spassing. The film Dogville is the complete opposite of any Dogma 95 film with an imaginary set with no walls, Von Trier attempts to criticize small town America. In this essay I will compare the film Dogville to The Idiots and show how it refutes the ideas developed around a Dogma 95 film.
Later on in the novel, Piggy is one of the very few boys who are not savages. He didn’t become a savage because he didn’t believe in it or feared it like the other boys. His scientific approach was clearly one of the best. Simon has changing opinions on the beast. At first, he thinks that there could be a beast, but because he is shy, doesn’t fully admit that.
Both the novel and movie were exceptional. However, a movie can never fully express the book, as it cannot show every single detail outlined by the novel. The movie did a great job at portraying the culture and people of Afghanistan, making the movie seem very vivid. However, the movie left out a bunch of details since the novel is long, and it do not have enough time to show them all. Sometimes this is also a good choice because some details are not that important, so they can be left out with no impact on the movie.
