7 GRADE INGLISH PLS HELPPPP! I NEED HELP RLLY BAD ! ALSO WILL MARK BRAINLIEST .here is cathy's argument:
You walk out of a movie theater listening to your friends exclaim about how great the movie was. Not wanting to get into yet another pointless argument about how much better the book was than the movie, you say nothing. Your friends did not read the book so it would be a massive waste of time anyway. Nevertheless, you cannot help wondering why your friends prefer movies to books. While some people would rather see a movie than read a book, anyone with a brain should agree that a well-written book is always better than the movie.
First of all, when we read a book, the characters belong to us. Readers are smart: we use our vivid imaginations to interpret the author’s description of a character. As a result, we get to know the character on a much deeper level than is possible with a movie. Bestselling author Jahill Lehane says, “Interestingly, each reader uses the same exact details to develop his or her own unique perception of a character. That’s because when we read, we bring our own knowledge, emotions, and prior experiences to the table. When I have a chance to talk to my readers, I’m always amazed at how differently they feel about each of my characters.” She goes on to say, “In a movie, a casting director interprets an author’s words. Nothing about a character is left to the imagination. All we get to know about the character is what we see or hear on the screen.”
Another reason books are better is that in a book, all the events of the main plot and subplots are intertwined and make sense. The author has time to develop these plots because a book can be hundreds of pages long. The average movie is only 90 minutes long. Subplots are usually cut from the storyline. The main plot is simplified and often speeded up. All the beauty and nuances of language are sacrificed for the sake of a quick-moving film. Last year, 11 of 25 box office hits were made from popular books. In an informal survey of 100 movie-goers who had read the books and then seen the movies, 68 percent said that the movie plots were so chopped up, they almost did not recognize them.
