There are many similarities and differences between the book The Giver and the movie Pleasantville. As to being similar, they deliver more or less the same message. “You can’t help who you are.” Full of clichés, but still true to real life. Of course, there are the similarities between setting such as them both being in black and white, and the differences of time period. You really need to look at the main characters to see any major similarities and differences between this book and this movie.
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.
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.
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.
She told every detail about each situation and gave reliable informational facts that other history books left out. Her book gave more than just Black economical fact. She gave them their recognition, because they didn’t get it in the main books or maybe the major black historic museums. I found out by reading some facts that my hometown in Mississippi is a couple of miles away from the W.H. Jefferson Funeral Home, which is the oldest African-American business in the state of Mississippi.
The same thing happens to Into the Wild. While these differences don’t make the movie bad, it produces a different type of McCandless. There are not just differences, but also many similarities between the book and the movie. The most significant difference that can be seen between the movie and the book is that the movie tries to incorporate a relationship between Chris McCandless and other people. The book is more of an autobiography of Chris taken from the notes and letters he wrote.
Of Mice and Men Of Mice and Men was published in 1937 and it is set during the Great Depression. During this time there was much segregation towards black people especially in the South. In the Southern states a new law called Jim Crowes Law. This stated that black and white people were equal but different.

Brad Oglevee AAAS 121: Please Wake Up! TF: David Mulrooney 5 November 2007 The Binary Nature of Racial Conflict: School Daze and Do the Right Thing Within the early work of Spike Lee, one topic that he addresses over and over is that of social conflict. In some instances, this conflict may occur amongst members of the same race, as in Lee’s frat-based musical School Daze. In other instances, this conflict may occur between members of different races, as in the Bed Stuy neighborhood of Do the Right Thing.

Sabrina Thomas Mel-Con #2 The film Speak detracts from the novel, the book Speak did a much more thorough job of getting up close and personal with Melinda’s story, whereas the film left out specific details that would have helped the understanding of the story. On one hand, in the book Speak, everything was very detailed and improved how you understood the story; on the other hand, the film was focused on the overall big picture.
