Aaron Hiles We read the story “ Klondike Fever, the Famous Gold Rush of 1898”, by Michael Cooper and watched a movie, “ Klondike Fever”, based on Jack London’s adventures. There, were many differences with the characters,the plot,the climax,and resolution. There were a few similarities in the settings. The movie was more entertaining than the informational text. Most of the characters were different when we compared the movie and the text, however, the setting was similar. The setting of the movie is mostly outside of Dawson, while the text, the setting takes place in the Klondike region. While the only character that was the same in both was the head of the North West Mounted Police, Samuel B Steel. The characters in both the text and the movie went to the Klondike region to get rich. In both, some people went to the area to mine gold, and in the meantime, some went to profit from the miners by selling the miners goods. In the text, the characters seemed to share food, cabins and gold strike locations; however, the characters seemed greedy and …show more content…
violent in the movie, which was a major difference between both book and movie. In summary , the movie and the text were not much alike and only shared a few characters and the same setting. The plot of the movie was different then the text.
In the movie, there was a scene with a man brutally training sled dogs, however in the text the author only mentioned the price of the dogs rocketing up from fifty dollars to several hundred dollars. In the movie, prospectors were gambling, but in the text the author mentioned them buying food and supplies in Dawson, nothing about gambling. In the movie, characters built the boat from the trees they cut down in the forest, so they could travel on the river. However, in the text, the only boats mentioned, were the steamboats that travelers used to get to the Klondike gold town. In the movie, Jack London’s friend, Sloper was shot and killed; meanwhile in the text, none of the characters were killed. In conclusion, the movie and the text were very different probably because the movie was somewhat fictional to make it more entertaining, while the text was
informational. The resolution of both is similar but there was only a climax in the movie. In both, people went to Dawson thinking they would become rich but they left poor. In the movie, the climax was Jack London had to race to keep the dog and he had won. The climax is different in both the book and movie and seems to match the pattern of the movie and book only having faint similarities and having major differences. In conclusion, the book and movie were both very interesting. The book was of course more informational and the movie was more entertaining. They had a few similarities between all of the categories mentioned, but had many more differences than they did similarities.
With both the movie and the book there were similarities and differences involving the names of the characters. Justice Wargrave was known as Author Cannon in the movie. Also, Vera Claythorne was Ann Clyde. Another difference is Philip Lombard was Charles Morman in the movie. However, there were some similar names, Mr. Blores’ name continued to stay the same as well as Dr. Armstrong.
The thrilling book The Summer of the Monkeys by Wilson Rawls and the movie by Walt Disney are alike in some ways but drastically different in other ways. There were different characters, endings and beginnings, and even different plot organization.
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
The story of Rikki-tikki by Rudyard Kipling is a great one, so great that there is a movie made after the book. The Movie follows the story of the book, but there are differences. The differences are very small, and don’t change the story’s theme. There are more similarities between the story and the movie them there are differences, however.
In the movie dwayne plays a good part. Dwayne was the guys that stuck up for them even though people did not like their documentary. Dwayne did get shot although that did not happen in the book. Another difference most of the characters that were in the book looked way younger that what the picture said that they looked like in the book. The book did not tell us that Lloyd liked to gamble. Lloyd gambled and almost got shot in the movie. In the movie Lloyd was like the bad guy in the movie, the movie told only bad things about Lloyd and only good things about LeAlan. Another difference in the movie is that the boys who threw Eric Morse out the window were sentenced to Juvenile Detention Center till the age of twenty-one. This is a big part because they never told what the verdict was which made it seem like they were let free from what they did. The last difference is in the movie the vacant apartment that in the book said that it looked creepy and run down it looked really nice in the apartment and I did not really understand why no one lived there.
While watching the movie, I could see that the main characters in the book, both their names and traits, were the same in both the movie and book. However, aside from that there were many different as...
The movie and the story had some of the same characters but some weren't exactly the same. The movie introduced many different characters and changed some of the others. For example, the movie had the plant lady and had the mentor of Anderton as the founders of Precrime while in the book, Anderton was the only founder of Precrime. Also, Witwer wasn't blond he had black hair and Kapler wasn't named Kapler he was named Crow. In the story they had the red head Fleming who did not exist
Some of the characters in the novel, like Lennie, are portrayed differently in the movie. In the novel, Lennie is said to be “a huge man” (2), but in the movie he isn’t very big, although he is bigger than George and some of the other characters. In the movie he is stronger and bigger than the others, but not to the extreme amount that the book portrays him to be. Also, Lennie is depicted as very mentally challenged, which is shown by the way he speaks. Whereas in the book, Lennie is said to have a mind of a young child instead of being disabled. As well as Lennie, Curley’s wife is represented a little bit differently. In the movie,...
Overall, the movie and book have many differences and similarities, some more important than others. The story still is clear without many scenes from the book, but the movie would have more thought in it.
To Kill a Mockingbird is a phenomenal book that portrays life in the South during the 1930’s. This poverty stricken time, in which many struggled to get through, seemed to never grow dull by the means of the Finch family. Harper Lee’s award winning book was captured in a film containing the same title. Although the movie was in black and white and average in length, it lived up to the vivid story depicted within many pages. This worldwide hit reached many minds, but it is up to the people to decide which one is better: the book or the movie.
The similarities are quite apparent, the movie plot mainly follows the basic plot that the book took, leaving the viewer’s with a sense of accomplishment, as this is sometimes not achieved in the highest degree. Scout still has a brother, Jem. They both still meet Dill and have a few adventures with him throughout the film. Jem and Scout still have a single father, Atticus, having lost their mother many years ago. Calpunia is still their cook. And the whole story still has an overpowering sense of focusing on two main stories, Boo Radley (Arthur Radley) and Tom Robinson’s trial.
There are very few differences between the Book and the Film of To Kill A Mockingbird. But one of the few differences that you can’t miss is in the film there are several characters that were never introduced such as Mr.Dolphus Raymond, Aunt Alexandria, Uncle Jack, Miss Caroline, Cousin Francis, Miss Gates, and Aunt Rachel. Also in the film they left out some scenes such as the scene where it snows in Maycomb and Miss Maudie 's house burns down. A few similarities in both the novel and the film, first similarity is that Scout Finch is the narrator in both. Another key similarity is the story takes place in Maycomb, Alabama.
It was the perfect rags to riches story that would drive miners through the tough climate and circumstances, including Alex McDonald. It was heartening to the future Klondikers to find men stepping off the ship, suddenly rich, because of the gold in shoes, hats, scarves, and anywhere else the miners could find to stuff the gold. Alex McDonald was poor before he became rich, and desperate to find cash. He saw the gold as a mean to an end, and was carrying on his family’s traditions. The cold temperatures, blizzards, and avalanches drove away - and sometimes killed- three-fourths of the competition.
The novel “The Sign of the Four”, written by Arthur Conan Doyle is about Sherlock Holmes and his partner, Watson. The book follows them throughout their adventures, however, only the beginning will be discussed. What could possibly have sparked much interest in Doyle’s works that film adaptations from 1954-2010 by various movie directors? Was it the resolute mindset of Sherlock Holmes? Was it his uncanny detective work? His professional use of drugs? Or perhaps was it his ideology? Such beginnings are what writers like K.M. Weiland excels in; to craft an irresistible lure for their audience of fish. Doyle’s book introduces us to a multitude of questions and concerns, which according to Tim O’Brien is meant to “not explain or to resolve, but
To begin, there are many similarities and differences in the characters personalities. One similarity would be Aunt polly not having the hear Tom when he was being naughty in both the book and the movie. Another similarity would be Huck and Tom always acting michiviouse they’re always going on adventures and causing trouble for adults. One difference would be Huck in the movie seemed a little self centered, he seemed that way because when he had the chance to help Muff he didn’t want to because he was scared he would be killed by Injun Joe. Another difference would be Muff seemed more caring in the movie like when he was telling stories to the kids and he took them in the cave which made you feel a little sorry ...
