wilight: Breaking Dawn
Sarah Lewis Many people know about the Twilight sage Breaking Dawn. Many have seen the movie and loved it. Others have only read the book. Even though this movie was definitely my favorite out of all four, it still doesn't even come close to the book. One of the reasons I liked the book over the movie would be that when you read the book, its easy for you to feel how the characters felt. It's a lot more detailed in their emotions, rather than in the movie you only feel how you think they would. The book makes you almost feel like you are apart of it and that you know exactly what they're going through. Another reason would be that in the book there are many things that were left out or changed in the movie. In the beginning of the book, it tells the part where Bella and Edward tell Charley about their engagement. It tells about how Edward gave Bella a new car for their engagement present, and about all the strange looks everyone in Forks have been giving her for getting married so young. It also has the wedding take place in a different setting. In the movie they have it outside under the huge oak tree, but in the book it takes place in the Cullen's house. In conclusion, I think that the books are much better than the movies. I would recommend that people who have only seen the movies should read the books. I think people who even don't like the movies would like the

    The settings I imagined while reading the book were very different from what I saw in the movie. Some of the characters such as Kenny and Byron were shorter than I imagined, but Joetta was taller than I imagined her and Grandma Sands looked very different than I imagined. I thought she would be tiny, really old looking, and very mean. She wasn’t really any of those. The settings were very different such as the church and the Watsons house. I thought they would be more dated. Their house wasn’t modern, but wasn’t as old as I imagined from the context clues in the book. Overall I liked the movie better because it had more information about racism and I felt I learned more about it. I think I would like the movie even better if it had Rufus as a character, but it was still a great…

    I liked the movie better. I personally did not really like the ending of the book. A. Square got to see the 3rd dimension, something no one except the council knew about. I thought there was going to be a big revelation at the end of the book, but instead he gets thrown into jail and basically forgotten. It was like nothing happened. Not even his grandson found out.…

    Ever read a book, and then seen the movie? The book is usually better right? That’s most likely because of the differences. The book is more descriptive most of the time. Events in the book are missing from the movie. Or the movie adds some in.…

    The novel is much better than the movie. The novel is more interesting than the movie as there was a lot of description, which was used in the right places. It was easier to read the novel. The description in the novel was very detailed which was gross but it is not as bad as seeing pigs getting slaughtered visually in the movie. It was cruel and horrendous when they killed the pig so badly. Although the novel and the movie had the same plot there were many differences in-between. A few major differences seen in the movie was the shattering of the conch, the captain/pilots presence and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. The movie had many things missing in it such as personality traits and some characters. Even though they had to make the movie shorter but they have taken out some of the most important things stated in the novel. These reasons made the novel more enjoyable than the movie. In the novel the author had stated various times that there were no adults at all, therefore the boys were alone and had to fend for themselves. Though in the movie there was an adult, the captain/pilot which didn’t really make sense as it was totally different in the novel. The way the movie presents the characters, meaning the way they look and talk has basically no resemblance to the novels apart from piggy, ralph and the twins. The hunters were more vicious and cruel in the movie than the novel which was very bad to watch. In the novel it looked like that piggy and Ralph had not known each other at all and Ralph mocked Piggy a lot although in the movie they were best friends and confided in each other. There were many similarities to the novel but they were approached in a completely different aspect. The novel is much better than the movie due to all these reasons said above.…

    I like the book more than the movie. Audience reaction has to be taken into consideration in a way that books don't have to. The audience, cannot, even for a moment, be confused as to who the "bad guy" is. Otherwise, you can have a teenage Scarface.…

    First of all, one of the biggest reasons the movie is better than the book is because of the quality of the flashbacks. In the book the flashbacks were more set in the past and much longer, sometimes too drawn out and a little boring for how much background story there is for just one day dream, whereas in the movie the daydreams are a bit shorter but more set in the present and more affect by what he does in that moment with little background because of how short they are and how close to the present they may be. The daydreams are usually much more exciting in the movie as well, whereas in the book it's set back to just a boring doctor surgery, that was…

    One thing in particular that the book does much better is making use of complex metaphors and themes, such as: the river for life, and oneness with nature, that string themselves together as you turn each page of the book, while in the movie the metaphors and symbolism are represented in a much different way through picture. In the book, both themes regarding the river are very vivid and clear, as they use strong imagery of nature to draw pictures in the minds of the readers. In the movie both themes are represented and referred to much less because of the lack of narration.…

    Over 6 million dollars in sales, the Twilight franchise is nothing short of successful. But what makes this series any different from the millions of romance novels you can buy at the dollar store? Author, Stephanie Meyers, developed a highly layered plot that dipped its fingers into multiple genres. By doing this, she broadened the spectrum for her projected audiences ten-fold. She includes elements of mystery, thriller, romance and fantasy into her novel. Twilight is the analogous love child of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire and Nicholas Spark’s The Notebook. However, Meyers does not just place a single conventional vampire at the center of her novel, instead, she placed an entire family of unconventional vampires. Although, like…

    What I enjoyed most about reading this book was the way the author introduced and described all of the characters. I had a great picture in my mind about each and every character and I felt myself thinking about some of them even when they were absent from a page or two. It became so interesting that before I could finish the book, I had to turn to the internet to look up the characters of the movie. I just had to see them in the flesh!…

    Another important difference is how Bella finds out that Edward is a vampire. In the book, the school they are going in is having a dance and because Bella is not really that in to dancing she and Edward decide to go to Seattle, but the don’t even go to Seattle instead Edward takes Bella to the meadow and tells her what he is and he reveals himself in the sunlight so that she can see that he is sparkling in the sunlight.

    When I compare the book with the film of Charlie and the chocolate factory it`s just small details that are different between the book and the film. For examples in the book the kids have two parents with them at the factory, but in the film they just have one with them. The book is much more detailed. I think I was more” in the story” when I read the book. But I like the film, when you see all the colours and peoples. You got a face on the characters, and you can see the places. But I like the book more than the…

    I admit I'd seen the 2002 movie before I read the book, so I already knew the story, but I knew the saying 'the book is always better than the film', so of course I had to read it too! I can't think of much to write for this review, because it's hard to criticise a book I enjoyed so much. It's such an easy book to get caught up in, and I didn't want to put it down until I'd found out what happened between Landon and Jamie.…
