Book or Movie?

 Is the book always better than the movie? False. Seeing a story on a screen, is always a different experience than forming the images that you get from the book in your head. Some people may actually rather not have to go to the trouble of making the images themselves, and will prefer the movie. Even though the movie doesn't always get everything out of the book that the author originally had, it can still have certain elements that make it entertaining. Its hard to transfer some of the subtle nuances and meaning that parts of texts has into film.
           I feel like watching a movie and witnessing a dramatic moment or an emotional scene, is more effective than reading it. When you actually see what happens, and get to piece together the imagery and experience whats happening, its different than reading it and making up whats happening in your head. Thats what I like about reading though. You can read a book and make the scenes up in your mine, and form your own idea of what characters look like. When it comes down to reading the book or watching the movie. Do both!

  1. This is a good start. Your posts should be stand alone. What is false? You are also missing evidence. You need specific examples to support your claims.
