PLEASE HELP!!!!
this assignment was comparing the book to the movie of the glass castle, can someone please tell me if I have any mistakes!!!!
The Glass Castle
The movie version of The Glass Castle did a very good job of portraying the book. But, there are many differences and similarities from the movie version and the book version.
In the movie version of the glass castle many details are left out. For example, in the book we are first are introduced to Jeannette as an adult in New York living in a high end apartment with her husband, but in the movie he was only her fiancé. Also, in the book we only see adult Jennette in the beginning and the end of the book but but in the movie we jump back and forth from adult Jennette to child Jannette.
Even though the movie was a little different from the book, there were many similarities. For example, in the book Jannette gets burned at three years old when she was cooking hot dogs all by her self, and that also happens in the movie. Another example is in both the movie and the book, Jannette’s mom Rosemary, finds a ugly tree in the dessert that she decides to paint a portrait of it. The major theme of both the book and the movie is forgiveness, “Everyone has something good about them,’ she said. ‘You have to find the redeeming quality and love the person for that.’ / ‘Oh yeah?” I said. ‘How about Hitler? What was he redeeming quality?’/ ‘Hitler loved dogs,’Mom said without hesitation” (Walls 144)
In my opinion the book is better because it describes more details about the family, where they live, how they act, and the sequence of events. In the movie the character of Jeannette and her older sister Lori differ from the book because in the book they are more anxious to escape their crazy family and move to New York. In the book the plot does not differ from the movie.
