Maloney's killing, is another big element which distinguishes between the book and film. In the original book, it is clear to the reader that Mrs. Maloney will not be recognized as the murder, and it is almost amusing when the police accept her offer to eat the leg of lamb which was the weapon. The author builds minimal suspense. And yet, in the movie, the audience feels great suspense.…
The whole scene in the beginning of the book with the two of them talking about Meg’s father also was not shown in the movie. Details like these in the book made the relationship between Meg and Charles more entertaining to read about as well as possibilities for the two of them later. This, of course, is only one of the many reasons why the book of A Wrinkle in Time was better than the movie’s…

The book that I am reading for this unit is called A Wrinkle in Time. It is about Meg, a girl who is often underestimated for her lack of understanding how to solve problems and questions in school. She can always get the correct answer, because she and her father found a way to simplify the ways that the school was teaching them, but the teachers count them all wrong because it wasn’t the way that they tried to teach her. She has three younger brothers, the ten year old twins, Denny and Sandy, and her five year old super genius brother Charles Wallace. Charles Wallace is also a main character in this book.…
One of the most important, yet seemingly small differences, is the name given to the narrator in the movie, Charlotte. She never names herself throughout the written story. The choice not to name a main character of a story was very well thought out by Gilman. A no-named character gives the readers the ability to relate because they could just as easily be this person as to anyone else. The writers of the film not only chose to name the narrator, but they chose the name of the author of the original story.…
Like many other movies derived from books, there are numerous differences. The book has many people who aren't named in the movie, and the movie shows scenes that the book does not.

There are also many similarities between the book and the movie. Both the book and movie contain the same main ideas in the plot, and have more or less the same storyline.…
How do we determine what's right or wrong? How do we determine what’s good from evil? Good decisions made by good people can help prevail against the bad decisions. In the book A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’engle the characters are forced into situations where they must be able to conceive what is good from evil to interpret how to move on throughout their journey. Well, there are multitudinous ways that everyone thinks of to distinguish these two major categories, but the biggest influences that people use to consider their right from wrongs are the people around them, science, government, laws, and past experiences.…

Since a movie and book cannot be exactly the same, the film version is bound to have things that differ from the text. One example of how the book develops the development of the story is with the setting.…
It seems an unfair view to expect a movie about a book to be exactly the same down to every single detail. Communities of fans will always find something wrong with a story, for it has “failed” to match expectation. Books are a place where someone can be dragged into the story and forget about everything else for a short while. Movies do the exact same thing, except it is seen as an easier way than books for a lot of people. Ignoring obvious differences (such as the fact that one is in picture form, and the other is in words), movies and books may not be so different after all.…
