I have discovered that I actually do like to read somewhat. I like to read now more then I did at the beggining of the trimester. I still feel drawn to sports biographies I think that genre will always be my favorite genre. Action books also draw me in, before the end of the school year I want to read at least one action book, because I've always liked action movies so Im sure I would like a good action book. At the beggining of the trimester I felt like I didn't concentrate when I read so if i read 20 pages in a book back then I wouldn't know what would be going on in those 20 pages. But now I feel like I concentrate more so I understand what happening in the book. This is one of the reasons I enjoy reading more now that Im concentrating on whats going on in the book.

Where the Wild Things are:

I read and watched the film of Where the Wild Things are I dont think the story was adapted well into the film. I say this because first of all there were cuss words in the film and I thought Where the Wild Things are is supposed to be for children. Another reason I think it didnt adapt well is because I felt like the movie was very weird and some things that happened in the movie were really weird unlike the book I felt like it was more suitable/entertaining for children. I think I am right because you hear more about the book meaning poeple like it then the film meaning people didnt think much of the film, unless it's just me. Another reason I feel that I am right is because a lot of my classmates thought the movie was weird and not as good as the book. I think the book was more entertaining for kids because it was written for if children were to read it, because it had very big font and it was a very quick read. So for my conclusion I say the book to film adaptation was not a success.

Post 5

My book is Catching Fire and I saw the movie and read the book. I was very satisfied with the movie it had a great plot and conflict also had a great solution/resolution. It kept you on the edge of your seat. The ending of this movie is the prologue of Mocking Jay which is the third movie so you want to watch the third movie even more to see what happens. But overall the movie was very good.
There are very few minor changes between the book and the movie the plot of both stays the same which I think is the biggest thing to keep the same. I wouldn't have done anything differently to the movie if I was a director because it was such a good movie all the parts were included in the movie that were neccesary.
