Recommended: Differences between a book and a movie

The book and movie of A Christmas Carol are very good. I liked the book version a lot better than the movie. Yes they had parts that were the same but, some parts of the book were different from the movie. Books do have a little more detail than the movies do. This one had a lot of similarities and differences. Some of the differences I found were how the character was feeling. In the movie he had got used to the them coming to visit him. In the book he always had a different emotion that he felt or how the spirits welcomed him. Also the book had a lot more detail that the movie didn’t show. One more I had found was how the book had ended comparison to the movie. It was more dramatic. The movie had only told what he was doing next.

    For example, Mama goes to the bank in the movie and is given a hard time about paying her mortgage, but this did not happen in the book. Another major difference is that the school bus scene, where the Logan kids played a trick on the white kids, was not shown in the movie, even though it was an important part of the story. There are some character changes as well. Lillian Jean, Jeremy, R.W, and Melvin are Simms’ in the book, but in the movie they are Kaleb Wallace’s children. However, the main plot difference is how the movie starts in the middle, summarizing everything from the first part of the book very briefly. Additionally, many scenes are switched around and placed out of order. Altogether, the plot and character changes contribute to my unfavorable impression of the

    How do we know when or how to change ourselves as people? Sometimes, we all need a shove from something or someone to help us better ourselves.

These three things can make us willing to go through the hassle and hard work of breaking out of a habit, whether it be putting your feet on the couch, or your attitude.

    Many have heard of A Christmas Carol, a famous book by the author Charles Dickens. Charles Dickens wrote the short novel in 1843 in the mid years of his life. Long after his death in 1870, a live action film was made to tell his story to the eyes in 1984. Recently, my classmates and I watched this live action film and recorded the changes and similarities between the two. What are some of these differences and similarities between the novel and the movie, which were made over a century apart?

    Halloween is the time of the year when people dress up and have fun scaring people. Christmas is the time of the year full of joy and happiness. All though these two holidays are quite the opposite, some people find it hard to determine what type of movie The Nightmare Before Christmas is. There are two different sides, the people who think it’s a Halloween movie and the people who think it's a Christmas movie. I personally feel and believe that The Nightmare Before Christmas is a Christmas movie. I feel this way because after watching the movie multiple times, I’ve come up with many valid reasons that can make your mind change to stand with me on the side of people who also believe it’s a Christmas movie.Those reasons include the movie’s

    In the fictional play, A Christmas Carol: Scrooge and Marley, by Israel Horovitz, Scrooge’s first impression is not very good. He refuses to donate to the poor, he dismisses family who want a relationship, and he is miserable and tries to make others the same way. When two men come to see Scrooge, they were asking for donations for the poor. Scrooge, being one of the wealthiest people in the community, is very dismissive, wrongfully so, and asks the two men to leave empty handed. When Scrooge asks if there are workhouses for the poor to go to, the men explain that most people would rather die than to go there. In response Scrooge states, “If they would rather die, than they had better do it and decrease the surplus in population.” (649) When

    One difference is the titles between the two. It is important because the audience might think the film is a whole different story, so they might not want to watch it. Another major difference is where Kevin dies. In the novel, Kevin dies in the hospital, but in the film, he dies in his sleep. This is crucial because it changes where Kevin gives Max the empty book. Also, Kevin and Max stop a man trying to take a woman’s purse in the movie, but in the novel, they do not. This is important because that was one of their first good deeds as Freak the Mighty.

    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.

    I felt like I liked the book better than the movie because in the movie, I felt like things were moving a bit too fast and in the book, they go into detail. The movie was also missing some scenes like Mark’s house burning down, it changed up some facts in the end. In the movie, John convinces Number six to let Sam come with them but in the book, it seems as though they both have their own agreement together. I felt like because I read the book before watching the movie, I knew what was happening like the scars coming on John’s body. One more thing. In the movie, they never mention the magazine They walk Among Us. They only mention it when Henri goes to the writer’s house. But overall, I thought the book was far better than the movie.

    Furthermore I believe that even though the story was written over a hundred years ago it still has extreme relevance to today’s society. The idea that most people live in self-absorbed and extremely consumerist society with no empathy for those around them is a universally understood problem. The performance of the actors really do still hold true to Dicken’s characters, I found that this representation of A Christmas Carol was quite funny while still holding true to the moral message. The production I believe was successful in carrying out the play, a lot of credit I believe belongs to the strong acting performances and beautiful design of the set and

    In "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, Ebenezer Scrooge undergoes a transformation as a result of his encounters with three ghosts and becomes a kind, happy, and generous man. His greedy, cruel, and grumpy demeanor is replaced seemingly overnight, but he doesn’t just wake up and decide to be nice. It takes three Spirits to change his outlook on life - The Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present, and Future. The Ghost of Christmas Past makes Scrooge begin to regret his selfishness, and the Ghost of Christmas Present begins to teach him about others. This second Ghost helps to make him realize that money doesn't buy happiness. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, however, teaches the most profound lesson of all: unless he changes, no one will care if Scrooge dies. Because of the Ghosts, by Christmas morning Ebenezer Scrooge is a completely different person from the man who went to bed on Christmas Eve.

  • Analysis of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol

    1410 Words  | 3 Pages

    A Christmas Carol was written as the 19th century reached its midpoint, a time where the world had changed dramatically due to the industrial revolution. Wealthy men, the minority, had accumulated large sums of money, moved into cities and lived wonderful lives. However life was dreadful for the majority who were poor and could not afford basic necessities such as food and shelter. This inequality could have been rectified if money had been distributed in a more virtuous and an uncorrupted way. For this reason, Charles Dickens attempts to show this in the form of literature in his critically acclaimed novel A Christmas Carol.
