The film version of “A Sound Of Thunder” that came out in 2005 has a similar plot; a group of hunters go back in time at Time Safari Inc. which causes an unknown change in the present that Travis Ryer and Sonya Rand try to find the cause and fix.
As it continues "A Sound of Thunder" carries on the describe the character and help the audience get to know him but "The Star" speaks of the scientific announcement that has just been made and what the announcement means.

I will tell how the Call of the Wild book is different than the movie and how the movie is different than the book.As well as contrasting I will also compare them.

One of the first reasons that the movie is better is the characters. There were only two main characters in the whole short story. Since there were only two characters, we only got to see how Walter interacted with his wife and nobody else. Walter Mitty’s wife also kept nagging at him, which added to his misery. In the short story, Mrs. Mitty said “You know I don’t like to go more than forty. You were up to fifty-five.” pg 1-2. The difference with the movie is that it introduced a lot more characters and got rid of his wife. That leads to the new character of Cheryll, his love interest. Cheryll was important because she gave Walter a happy ending and hope. In the movie, Walter even said, “And I started to imagine you… singing Major Tom. Anyway… it got me on the helicopter.” Another really important new

Books and movies can be sort of similar but they can not be exactly the same.

Everybody who joined Jack’s tribe you could tell that they were losing their humanity. In the movie you can visually
There are multiple differences between the movie and the short story. Some of the differences were pretty major such as were the antagonists Bill and Sam kept the little trouble maker. In the short story Red Chief is kept in the cliché of a cave but the antagonist decide camping in the woods would keep the child more situated. The Ransom of Red Chief also had a difference in which the ransom note was placed I personally see this as the biggest difference because the entire concept is based around the ransom note. They still managed to change up the story line in the movie by giving a child the ransom note to give to the parents in the story the old post office Did the trick.
