The Lovely Bones Movie And Book Comparison Essay

In the movie you get the sense of wanting to yell ”NO TURN AROUND STOP!“ or ”SHE’S SO OBLIVIOUS WHY DOES SHE THINK THIS IS SAFE.“ You feel the same way while watching Smooth Talk. Even as the viewer you feel this responsibility to warn them. Both movies did well in capturing the audience in that way. They lacked in other areas, but normally book to movies don’t resonate the same. In the Lovely bones movie, they dive right into Susies death. The viewer who reads the book prior would know what would happen next, you get that feeling that was discussed before, the sense of responsibility. The viewer who hasn’t read the book before is in for a disgusting shock. The viewers red flags are heightened and confused at her death scene. See to understand this movie you really needed to read the book beforehand due to how they directed some of. In Susie’s death scene you think ”yes she got free“, but if you read the book you would know she was already dead. Smooth talk had the same viewing experience.

Many people assume that conversion of a novel into a film is an easy task, as they would argue that it is a matter of the lines in the books into dialogue in the movies (Baines 615). However, those who do the work to make it happen understand the challenge well. Some of the fans of movies at times have problems with an adaptation of the film depending on how they have read the book, and some of the elements that people are keen on including the plot, characters, and the theme. Therefore, for a film to have a successful build up, then the directors have to stick to every detail as indicated in the book. Baines was that the work of translating books to the film should not only be about reproducing the content of the book, but it should be about changing the medium through which to present to the audience. Therefore, in this essay, the focus will be on a comparison between the two different versions (book and film) of To Kill a Mockingbird. The comparison will be based on comparing the plot, characters and the theme of the story presented in different media.

In To kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and To kill a Mockingbird by Barbara kopple although the movie is enjoyable the book brings more detail and characters. The three main differences between the book and movie are narration change, character absence , and scene absences. In the book the story is told in scout's eyes while in the movie due to a visual purpose isn't stressed as much as in the movie. In the duration of the book due to scout telling the story it has a child perspective “But he’s gone drowned his dinner in syrup” ( 32) said scout which brings a presence of immaturity.

To Kill a Mockingbird, according to many people, is the best American novel of all time. This story tells the story of the young Scout and Jem Finch, and his father Atticus, as they go through the ordeals to live in a small town in Alabama. In 1962, when the film version of this novel came out, we could see that they had many similarities and differences, like all the books turned into movies. In this essay I will explain the similarities and the differences between the two. To compare the film with the novel, we will first examine the similarities.

The committee included school librarians from McDevitt and one other middle school and high school. It also included a public librarian, a teacher from McDevitt and a middle school principal from the area. Two of the committee members are parents of middle school students therefor parents were not included in the committee.

The book was moved to the faculty section because, “The content is too frightening for middle school

Both The Lovely Bones and Hamlet go on a search to find their meaning in life. In both the story and the play, the protagonists produce a thought of the meaning through events they experience. Alice Sebold expresses Susie Salmon, the protagonist of The Lovely Bones, meaning of life through dying and going to heaven while watching over her family. In the beginning of Hamlet, King Claudius kills his father and throughout the play, Hamlet is contemplating the meaning of life and death. The meaning of life for Hamlet and Susie are rather different.

Susie got the privilege to come back to Earth and forget the events that caused her to be in heaven in the first

Like in most movie adaptations of books, there were consistent similarities between the book To Kill a Mockingbird and its movie counterpart. For example, the death of Tom Robinson is in both book and movie. Tom's death was incredibly important to the story. The movie would have been way too emotional and ooey-googey if he would have lived. However, the differences always outweigh the similarities.

In the movie it says that he was trying to stop the urges to kill Susie by killing cats and dogs. The theory that best connects to the plot of the movie is The Rational Choice Theory. The Rational Choice Theory is the opportunity to commit a crime, it pays close attention to the casual role of the situation that is about to happen, and it removes family, background and everything else. Some cases the crime is created with the opportunity while you did nothing to affect it. I think the Rational Choice Theory is one to have a connection

The sole antagonist of The Lovely Bones is Mr. George Harvey, one of the Salmon’s fellow neighbours. Mr. George Harvey is a rapist and a serial killer who raped and murdered Susie Salmon and several other women. On a cold and snowy afternoon, Susie was travelling on her way home from school through a local cornfield. Mr. Harvey greats Susie and welcomes her into his underground shelter, that’s he’s built for the kids. Piquing Susie's curiosity, as she was lured her into the hole, she quickly realizes that it is a trap however, she was unable to escape and Mr. Harvey rapes and then kills her.

Have you ever read a book that you absolutely loved? Then the movie came out, and you hated it because it had nothing to do with the book. Well, that is true in some cases, but not in this case. The movie/book The Hound of the Baskervilles is a story about the fearless detective Sherlock Holmes, and his clever sidekick Dr. Watson. They have taken on a case that is entirely out of this world, perhaps supernatural. The sudden violent death of Sir Charles Baskerville leads to the inquiry of an ancient family curse that haunts the Baskerville men, and Holmes is determined to not let another Baskerville man die on the moor. I believe that the movie adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles truly helped the readers understand the story, because

First of all, Susie talks about how when a soul leaves a body on Earth the soul will run by a living person and touch them. When Susie’s soul leaves her body on Earth, she accidentally touches Ruth. From this moment on into the rest of the novel Ruth always thinks about Susie, even when she moves to New York. Later on in the book, Ruth and Ray start to meet up before and after school on the shot put concrete to talk about Susie. While Ruth and Ray discuss how much they think about and miss Susie, Susie eavesdrops into their conversation and listens to everything. She describes hearing her name from Ruth’s mouth and getting chills down her spine. This moment in the book makes Susie enriched throughout the story by staying connected. It is almost like all three of the friends are sitting side by side on the concrete altogether, but in reality Susie is just Ray and Ruth’s friend from the In Between. Another example of Susie being completely enriched in the story is when Jack Salamon looks down at his six year old son

The film is really showing the audience how a young girl gets murder gruesomely by a man that she thought she could trust. Once the neighbor murders Susie he tries to go on with his life as of nothing happens and no one grows suspicious of him. Susie was stuck in a universe where she could watch over her family and also the man who brought pain to her family by taking her life. She then has to decide to continue to get revenge on the man who took her life or let her family heal from her disappearance. Some audience will try and say the film is over played, but the film has a deeper meaning to it that should be noticed and acknowledge.
