Journal Entry 61: Film V Book :)

Have you ever thought how films and books are alike and different? Well films and books can be alike for example films still have the same main idea (by that I meant plot) as books and also films also have the same characters as in the book. Although films and books can be different too because films mostly include the more important events but not the teeny tiny events. So, I think that it is best to read the book first then watch the film since the book contains more details than the film. Also when you are reading you can also imagine the characters and places. Not like it is already shown to you like in the film. Today in class we watch the movie of the book the Hatchet. The movie was sort of different from the book. Like when the plane was about to crash Brian decided to land on the water in the book but in the movie Brian landed on the water by accident not like he planed it. There was also a part where in the movie Brian ate worms although in the book Brian did not eat worms. In the book Brian saw a bear but Brian knew the bear would not harm him, so he was not scared although in the movie Brian was scared of the bear.
