Journal Entry 61: Film v Book

Have you guys ever watch "A Cry In The Wild"? This is a movie based on a famous novel called "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen. Then, have you ever think about the similarities and differences between two version of Hatchet? I'm guess you do. The film actually contain the most important and important part of the book; unlike the book, the author describes the tiny part of the story. However, the basic part of the book is still the same as the part of the film. The characters, plot, or others. Although sometime, the film change the name of the character, and the events in the book. I suggest you to read the book first, then watch the movie, because the book describe more details that in the film. For example, in the book Brian land on the water, but in the film, Brian cannot control the steering wheel and land on the water like he's doing it on purpose. Each medium tells a story, but in different ways. The film is easier for the audience to remember most of the plot of the story; in the books, although it describe every detail of the story, but sometimes you'll get bored by reading the unexcited part of the story.
