Write an essay that compares the book The Hate U Give to the movie following this prompt: As movies become more technologically enhanced, people are forgetting about the stories and books they are based on. More people should be reading the books the movies came from instead of waiting for the movie to be released in a local theatre. Not only are books more substantial, but they can also become more entertaining than the movies themselves. Do you agree with this statement?
Your essay should answer the following questions:
What is the title and author of the book, as well as the title and director of the film (and year released)? Briefly summarize the plot of each. Was the plot/character/s/setting/era of the film true to the book (for example, were some characters eliminated from the film that were in the book?) Focus on discussing 2-3 key aspects/scenes rather than merely listing all the similarities and differences. Did the plotline change from book to movie? If so, how? Were there aspects of the film that were improved upon by the artistic license of the director compared to the book? What were they, and how did they improve the film? Overall, do you believe books are more substantial and entertaining than their movie adaptations? Why/why not? Which do you recommend more? The book? The movie? Both? Neither? Please explain!
