A Christmas Carol Book Vs Movie

393 Words1 Page

I think the film was better in the story, “A Christmas Carol.” This is because it has more detail in it than the story does. The movie is more exciting and the reader can see what’s going on, but in the story they can’t see anything so it’s not as exciting as the movie. The movie is very detailed with the characters and the story makes some of the parts for the movie sound fake. In the movie, Jacob Marley dies and comes back to haunt Mr. Scrooge. There are many parts to “A Christmas Carol” but my favorite part is whenever Scrooge becomes happy and is jumping around.

There are many things the text and movie share and differ from each other on so let’s talk about that. One similarity of the text and movie is that they both have the same background

    Is High School football a sport, or is it more than that to some people? I’ve learned that the book is more sociological, which means that it focused on our human society of racial issues and also emphasizes the economy and the divide between the wealthy residents of one city versus the more working-class denizens of another are all subjects that are given an in-depth examination. This is more of the main or focal point of the whole book and in not so much in the movie. Although Bissinger's story is a true-life recounting of the 1988 football season of the Permian High School team, it reads like fiction and even though I believe his book is superior, the theatrical adaptation still stands apart as one of the great football movies ever to see in theaters. In the movie it was that team unit that was most significant in the development of the tale. Almost 80 – 90% of the book is in the film but there still are some differentiated contrasts found in the book in comparison to the movie. It has the intensity and the realism that kids were and are and also captures the...

    One example of a similarity between the book and the movie is that the story takes place in an English bungalow. Both the book and movie describe the setting as “ ...the big bungalow”. The movie also exhibits the big bungalow and gives the audience a general idea about bungalows. In addition to, the different mediums describe the setting as “in Segowlee cantonment”. If researched one will find that cantonments are British army bases in India that existed in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. The movie, too, portrays the setting as an army base as it shows other bungalows in the background. Lastly, the a large portion of the story happens in the bungalow’s big, encompassing garden. The movie and book both describe the garden as, “large, and half cultivated” and “splendid hunting ground [for a mongoose]”. The settings in the book and in the movie mirror each other almost

  • Analysis of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol

    1041 Words  | 3 Pages

    One minor difference in the movie was that the Ghost of Christmas yet to come has a hand of skin. Not a hand without skin that was wrote in the book. I think that this makes a difference though because it doesn't show a big impact on the story. I think Charles Dickens put the skinless hand in his story to give his story a "chill-factor". I don't think that the director of the TNT version of A Christmas Carol thought that it was a big deal or a big impact to the rest of the story. Another difference between book and movie is that Scrooge doesn't go to church at the end of the story. I think it makes a big difference though, because it shows how much Scrooge has changed since the three spirits came to visit him. It shows a "before-and-after" effect which I think made a big impact on the story. The last significant change between the book and the movie is that when Scrooge follows the Ghost of Christmas yet to come, he ends up falling into his grave. This is significant because Scrooge gets to meet the old Scrooge and gives him a slap in the face of reality of what's going to happen if things don't change. Its ironic too because it's the new Scrooge that wakes up on the bed in the morning.
