Movie vs Book

Ever read the books like Twilight written by Stephenie Meyer, The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien, or Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton? Maybe you haven’t read them, but I’m pretty sure you’ve watched them right? People say reading a book is better, others say it isn’t because they understand things easily visually. But, what are the differences and similarities between a Movie and a Book?
 
For similarities, both Movies and Books relate to art. They both project reality as well as fiction. They both offer and encourage creativity. They can both provide good information about history and culture, and they can both provide enjoyment.
 
But for differences, movies are in electronic format while books can be printed or can be in electronic format as well. Movies give us visual as well as mental pleasure while books provide us mental pleasure. Movies provide us real life scenes while books can only describe them. Movies have a greater number of audiences while books have limited readers. Movies become the collective output of different artists and technicians while books are output of knowledge and creativity of one or maximum two persons.
 
In my opinion, watching movies may seem to help you visually understand the story, but reading the book of that story first is what I would suggest. In a book, every detail of a character/scene is included and not a single information is left out while in a movie, directors have difficulty managing the movie time, since the book is too long, so the only option they really have is to cut out chapters/scenes. Don’t worry the necessary information will still be included in the movie. For people out there in the world who do not enjoy reading… I suggest you start now. Although watching a movie compared to reading a book may seem easier, reading helps grow your vocabulary.

​And if you don’t like reading just remember:
“Everyone is a reader… some just haven’t found their favorite book yet.” (Stephen King)
And if you say you don’t have time, also remember:
“If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time or the tools to write. Simple as that.” (Stephen King)
Some examples of the books which have been turned into famous movies are in the slideshow at the top.

Ella, I totally agree. Read the book first, use your own imagination to create and colour the characters, then watch the movie.

Hi Ella,
I prefer to read the books first because if the movie might be a let down or the story line of the movie might not be interesting. The book would be a better idea since the books storyline or the whole book itself would be more descriptive.

Hi Ella!
I am Naho, and I attend Hongwanji Mission School in Hawaii. Just like some others, I like books better than movies. I love books because I can grab a book and read it whenever/wherever I want. I like movies because they help me understand the more action packed moments of the book/movie such as the fight scene. I also have read TWilight, any book recommendations? Come check out my blog: http://hongwanjimissionschool.edublogs.org
Aloha,
Naho

I've always been into fairytales, and if i were to recommend a book to you, it would be "The Land Of Stories" written by Chris Colfer!
I don't know if you will like it, but if you do I'm glad!

Hi Ella,
Great job. I totally agree with you. I think books are better because After reading The Harry Potter series, I wanted to watch the movies. After the first part, I turned it off because It was very different. I finally want to say goob job.

Give yourself a decent screen name that implies something to you. Lets say you are Bounce and you like games. Use something like Transports or Sports Bob. Try not to utilize while you could mean you like golf or baseball to others it could take on something else entirely.
