Rylee V's Book Posts
Scotty - you will receive a first post prize from me. The first person who gets the discussion started will also receive a prize......who is ready to get started?
I read the book, Holes. Most people read this book, it's about a boy named Stanley Yelnats who goes to a camp in Texas. He starts to dig holes he begins to know that they are digging holes for a reason, and I won't spoil the book.
Rylee - have you seen the movie and read the book? Which did you think was better and why? If you haven't seen the movie I recommend you seeing it, so you can compare your visualizations with what the director saw as well.
I liked the book better. I think that is because I enjoy to read the book first and then watch the movie. When reading the book you find more information and that is what I enjoy figuring out the most.
I have never seen the movie before and I only knew there was until last December. answer to NJAM!(nelson) is there was only boys in the camp execpt for the warden
I was waiting for that question. I personally liked the book. I enjoyed the movie - I love ALL movies but I think that often with movies, parts of the book that painted vivid pictures for me get left out or created differently than my opinion so it can be hard for me to see their scene as accurate.
Sometimes and sometimes not. My visualization of Stanley was quite different than what was casted as Stanley. Also, how I personally saw Green Lake looking like, wasn't what it turned out to be in the movie. So I was a touch disappointed.
In tyhr movie, I imagined that Stanley would look different also. I imagined him looking like he was tired more of the time and I expected them to look dirtier because they only get short showers. In my mind I also thought the warden would look different. I expected a rougher look for her.
Hi Rylee. After talking with you, Riley, Isiah further after speaking with the class, I went with your suggestion and got the Toshiba. I have one problem, it's bilingual so my slash is an e with an accent for the french language. I'm not sure how to use the slash. If I bring it to school tomorrow, would you kindly help?
i have read the book of revelations. i think that the seven seals were broke a whie back. i dont think they will ever be broken again because no one knows where all seven seals are. riley.c

ReplyDeleteI agree, it is like I don't get what I want from the movie and I become disappointed
ReplyDeleteDid you think the movie acuratly portrayed the book
ReplyDeleteSometimes and sometimes not. My visualization of Stanley was quite different than what was casted as Stanley. Also, how I personally saw Green Lake looking like, wasn't what it turned out to be in the movie. So I was a touch disappointed.
ReplyDeleteMost people have watched the movie Jurassic park has anyone read the book exept me?

ReplyDeleteRylee...I have never read Jurassic Park but you are right I have seen the movie. I believe I saw it the year it came out....wonder when that was?
ReplyDeleteJurrasic Park came out 1993 and I have never seen the movie in a very long time so I started to read the book to refresh my mind about the storyline
ReplyDeleteThat means I saw that movie when I was in Grade 11....yes Rylee I am that old! :)
ReplyDeleteCan anyone think of a movie that was actually better the book?
ReplyDeleteI'm told that the Star Wars series are better as movies; but I wouldn't know seeing as I haven't read the books!
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is one!!
ReplyDeleteThere are books for the movies and I would want to read them but they would have to be pretty good to top the movies
ReplyDeleteI've seen all the movies, and they're all REALLY good; so I'd have to agree with you on that one Rylee.
ReplyDeletei have all the star wars books and seen all the movies at least twice
ReplyDeleteWhich do you think is better though, the books or the movies?
ReplyDeletewho read the book of revelations?
ReplyDeleteif you have what do you think of the seven seals part. Or the trumpets being blown.
Thoughts????
