There is no Twilight play, but there are the movies. The books are much different from the movies because in a book, you are alone reading and experiencing it by yourself much better I think as in a movie you are usually watching it with someone.

Reading a book puts ideas, pictures, people in your head that you have no context except for the description of the book.
By the end of a really good book, you have such a clear picture of what the characters looked like, what their movements looked like, what they were feeling at various points, and so much more. Watching a movie gives you the images and you fill in with the plot lines. I love reading a book, having a picture in my head of how that book would play out if I were observing it, and then watching a movie and seeing how similar or different my picture was.
Most of the time it is so incredibly different than what the movie portrays. On the flip side, watching a movie first, then reading the book opens a whole new world that the movie barely scratched the surface of. I think I just like both for the rich experience that they both give. First of all, they have no limits on time constraints. If it takes you a couple of weeks or even a month to finish a book, you can put a bookmark in it and keep it nearby until next time.
You can enjoy a book that is one hundred pages by reading it in a night. You can also enjoy a 1, plus page book just as much, although you are only able to read a few of those pages at a time. You can still pick up that book and instantly be thrown back into life with those characters. This is especially true when the book spends a good amount of time building up the plot and characters. You can definitely feel the character and plot development in a movie, but books have the ability to make you a part of them.
Books, on the other hand, can have a very make-it-or-break-it lifespan. Movies can have the same effect. But generally, the reader can make it all the way through a bad movie as well as a good movie. This is true especially if they have forked out a significant amount of money to see it in the movie theater.
Another example of making it all the way through a bad movie is simple peer pressure. A good friend tells you how inspiring a certain movie is. So you hold out to the end, hoping to get a glimpse of what they saw. So, which do I think is better—a great book or a great movie?
My answer is both! You pretty much need both to get a well rounded experience. They both have value that they bring to the table. And doing both gives you much more than just one or the other—more inspiration, more entertainment, more imagination, more brain development. There are so many ways to enrich your life by confirming how much you enjoyed a book by watching the movie and vice versa.
Or read a book that you greatly enjoyed watching a movie about. While you do that, think about how reading books is different from watching movies. But also think about how they are the same and how similarities and differences make for a better overall experience. And for you literature teachers: have a movie day for the books that you teach that have movies.
Your kids will love you for it. And they may just tell their own kids what an awesome lit teacher they had back in the day! To learn about more ways to reach your students in ways they will embrace besides movies and reading , click here. Both have played such an important role in my life.
If a movie is based on a book, I say, read the book, watch the movie, then read the book again to fill in the blanks from the movie. They are more engaging. Rich and exciting. I much prefer to read a book!
I find it relaxing. I love reading! It allows me to imagine the scenes in my head rather than having them fed to me. Often I find that when reading the book I come up with much better imagery than is portrayed in the movie. Harry Potter III is a prime example. I agree. I love reading the book and forming my own pictures, then comparing it to how the movie portrays it. I love reading books first before watching the movie.
I always make my kids spend 20 minutes before bed reading as I think it does calm them and helps them to shut their brain down. I almost always get angry when they adapt a movie from a book — the book is almost always better.
Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us! I need to get back into reading with my boys. They seem to not enjoy reading like I did as a kid. Great points. I agree on both! Like most things, pros and cons. I am an avid reader! While I love movies, I think I enjoy books more. I like creating the scene in my head and getting completely drawn into a new world.
I love reading and watching movies both. I think reading stimulates our imagination so much more since we form our own scenes in our brain. I prefer reading books simply books movies tend to spoil that special thing called the imagination. I also prefer practical books with great lessons for life that I can apply straight away.
I feel like reading has definitely improved my productivity and memory! When it comes to modern technology, we live in a world of instant gratification.
They help me remember to slow down and breathe when my life becomes busy. What a great blog post topic! You did a great job of sharing the differences! I love reading the books and watching the films. I totally agree. With both we can have a better experience. I read the Harry Potter books and then I watched the movies and I loved them both.
Reading the books first also helps to comprehend more each character. I feel like books a lot of time give more in depth background info more than movies. However I guess it depends on the person that is hired to play those roles too. The books describe everything so I am not trying to figure things out like with a movie. Sometimes I miss the expressions or other subtle hints as to what is going on. But when I read the book first, I do get all the subtle cues that are in the movies!
I always read book before going to sleep. This is my way of relieving my whole day of stress in work. And that is really awesome. I prefer watching movies but reading books is something else.
Netflix predominantly, it is with me every night. This is an interesting post. We are big book and movie buffs! One thing we love to do is to compare the movies to the books, but generally, the book is always better! Reading books and watching movies are both favorites of mine. I feel like they tap into different parts of my brain and can both entertain and educate me.
I always manage to build a more vivid picture of things from reading. Haha, I am very similar. I always find that the picture in my head ends up being very different than what the movie produces! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I happened to see films taken from my favorite books and although I liked them I missed everything that the book gave me in the descriptions of the places, characters and emotions … the books are completely different.
They allow you to immerse yourself in that particular story in a different way. That is true, Cristina. I always have a way different picture in my head in the book than what the movies show. I like both, reading and watching as well.
So both context for me is applicable. And the movies will always fall short of my imagination, and so I get a bit disappointed. So, the movies are still enjoyable, most especially when I watch them again. I love to compare the movies to the pictures that the books put in my head. It is usually very different.
I pick the movie. Or an audio book haha. Haha, I am the exact opposite. The words help me to focus. I always prefer books over movies. That is exactly my perspective, Lovely! Or nothing, I suppose if someone decided to take out the window to spackle a wall. But I think it really comes down to being able to construct a play in your head through reading.
Suddenly, you become the director, you have them move and caress in the ways you interpret the dialogue. Nothing gets by you. You're the alpha rooster in this coop. I don't hear King Lear shouting the words "Howl! I hear a meek old man finding everything inside of him spent and his cry echoing from his emptiness. Just cause they took the line literally doesn't make it right or wrong. I'm keeping my screaming old man! I also think it's fun to remove words out of scripts, though to be fair, I do this with books too.
Sometimes, whether it's translation inadequacies or something else, I can't help but feel the need to clip some of the sentences I read in Chekhov. Dude was a master, but I like to imagine how I would say the lines, as a 21st century Tennessean, not a 19th century Russian. Rather than saying "You must! It brings it home for me. I guess you could see this as just spinning my wheels about reading books.
I mean, you do all of the above when you read a novel or short story. Why bring it into another medium? And to that I say, the greatest cop-out answer there ever was, why not?
Dissecting different mediums from the perspective of other forms' rules and benefits, is how you get fresh ideas. You can start a new idea by looking for missing things in the present or go backwards, find the missing pieces, and follow it all the way back to the present and see if it's still missing. I think what I'm getting at is this: limitations should be interrogated not ruinously accepted. So, change the edits of a movie, marks words out of a book, write poems backwards, switch the dialect of a character, take out all the description in a book and just read the dialogue and action.
Find something new in established things. Nowadays, many working adults, high school graduates, and retired lifelong learners are choosing to advance their careers, lives, and personal knowledge by completing school at home. The rising popularity of online college and graduate school degrees has completely changed the face of education and student life.
It's no longer necessary to pack up all your belongings and head off to a distant locale in order to earn a diploma.
If you feel the temptation to cut costs, save time, and take advantage of the incredible benefits of online learning and convenience of at-home study, it's essential to know the key facts about online degrees before signing up for a course of study.
Many people still worry about the legitimacy of tele-study, while others wonder how to finance the coursework. So, if you're ready to become a distance learner, review all the relevant issues related to financing, checking credentials of schools, work-life balance, expenses, and what it takes to earn good grades.
Here are more details about each point. Non-traditional methods of earning degrees, primarily via computer-based courses, are fully legitimate. In fact, many of the world's top universities and colleges offer both in-person and distance curricula. However, it is still imperative to check the credentials of any institution before making any payments. Check accreditation status, read reviews from former students, and call the admissions office to inquire about how to apply.
If your educational goals include an advanced degree, it's worth looking into private graduate student loans. Working through a private lender, most prospective pupils can obtain enough money to pay for all degree-related expenses, take advantage of competitive rates, and get access to suitable repayment terms. This is especially helpful for current college grads who want to get their MBA, JD, or other specialty degrees to qualify for high-paying jobs.
If you struggle to define balance in your life , this will surely help you. There's no question about one fact in that e-degrees offer the best work-life balance situation possible. That's primarily because class scheduling is highly flexible, most programs are self-paced, and you can do homework whenever it fits into your work week, assuming you hold a job while you're in school. Universities and colleges can earn high profit margins on e-courses because a vast majority of the classroom sessions are taped and can be viewed at any time.
In short, schools spend much less on e-students than on those who live and matriculate on campus. In general, expect to pay about half the cost of a traditional diploma when you are a remote learner. One thing that's often overlooked when comparing all the differences between traditional and computer-based curricula is the discipline factor.
If you intend to opt for an e-degree, make sure you have the self-control to watch every video lesson, take part in live discussions, study for exams, and write papers. For some, it's far too easy to give in to the temptations of TV, social media, and other distractions when earning a degree from the comfort of home. I am saying one thing that I am thankful each day for until Thanksgiving. You try it to it will bring you joy.
November 1st, I am thankful for God and Jesus. I put my faith in them, they protect and help me through the happy and the sad in life. I could not imagine a world without them. November 2nd, I am thankful for sweets. I love them. Sweets can make me joyful when I am upset. They make my sweet tooth go at ease. Especially Lava Cakes. November 3rd, I love my family.
They push me to be the best I can be. My family supports me and always cheers me up when I am down. My family cares so much about me and will do anything for me if it is legal. I really couldn't imagine a world without them. November 4th, I am thankful for my teachers.
They might give me a lot of hassle and work to do.
