Compare And Contrast Ransom Of Red Chief

In the Movie, “Ransom of Red Chief”, and in the book, there are some similarities and some differences. The first difference was Red Chief, or better known as Johnny. In the movie he was a small, blonde headed little boy, but in the story he was a small, red headed little boy with a bunch of freckles. In addition to that in the movie the kidnappers, bill and Sam, took red chief to the woods and set up camp, but in the book it states that they, bill, Sam, and red chief, slept in a cave and camped there. Last but not least was red chief. In the movie red chief also stole bill and Sam’s car and he also put a snake in bill’s bed, but in the story he did neither of those things.
A few things that the story and the movie had in common was the fact their names were all the same. Bill’s nickname was still old hank. Sam’s was still snake eyes, and red chief was still red chief. In addition to that red chief also tried and or did scalp bill, in both the movie and the

story. Also when Sam went to go into town bill was left to play with red chief and the same thing happened, red chief rode bill 90 miles to stockyard and also fed him oats, as if he was a real life horse. One last similarity is that when Sam and bill sent that letter to Mr. Dorset stating that if they don’t get 2,000 dollars then he won’t get to see his son ever again. Bill and Sam then got a letter in return saying that if he got 1,500 that he then would take red chief off their hands. Those two notes were the same in the story and in the movie. Last but not least, the neighbors. They were not happy in the movie or the story when red chief came home.
When red chief came home nobody was happy for his return.

Why, because that boy is a nuisance. He is destructive, mean, rude, and worst off all cruel. Today was going to be a happy day, at least it was supposed to. Like what could go wrong, the sun was out and being all bright and sunny. Everyone was all happy and playing marbles and minding their own business. I was sitting there like a bird on a sunny, spring day, whistling my own toon when I heard “it”. Red Chief has returned. After 3 days of being missing he decides to show up, and just when I was happy too. That boy is something else, I swear when he showed up my heart sunk down to my stomach like a stone in a pond. I then just flipped, I ran home packed up as much stuff as I can and stuffed it into my car. I then grabbed my cat and put him in the car and drove as far as my little, black car could take. Anywhere but there with that

boy.
