As y'all know, Hurricane Issac gave us a week off school. In that time, my power went out. So I read The Princess Bride. Overall it was a lot like the movie, although some scenes were not in the movie that seemed like little extras that were in the book. I liked the book better than the movie because the book gave more plot detail and described the characters feelings and emotions in words that the movie couldn't have. I liked how William Goldman, the author, tells the readers about Buttercup's nightmares before she was married to Prince Humperdink. Although I don't like how he interrupts the book with his own thoughts as part of the chapter. I still very much liked the book.
One of the scenes in the book that was not in the movie was when Inigo and Fezzik needed to find Wesley to get into the castle. hey go to the Zoo of Death and ask the albino. He tells Inogo and Fezzik to go through the entrance and go down the stairs to level five. hey start to go down to the fifth level, but run into many dangerous creatures such as poisonous spiders and giant bats. Most of the book was in the movie- the main parts at least. The book was very good and the movie is good too. Both are hilarious!
I read pages 1 - 423 in 210 minutes over the past week. From August 22- September 1.
Make sure to include your reading times, please!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you that the book was better than the movie, although that was awesome as well:) I also didnt like the author interrupting in the middle of the chapter but what can I say. Great minds think alike:)
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to read that book for a long time!! I have found that in most cases, the book is always better than the movie because you can imagine it in your own way, and there are no limits to what you can make happen in your mind. When the movie producers make a movie, there is only so much that they can do. Your paper was well written, and I liked it.
