This is the literacy work for the extra tasks for online learning, hope you enjoy my writing.
All famous books get movie adaptations. Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, basically all of the roald dahl books, twilight, etc. But all of these movie adaptations are not as good as the books that they originally came from. Let me explain.
First of all, books are better because you can process the information that they’re giving you a lot longer. For example there might be a detective book, and you need to process all of that information in order for it to make sense when they find the criminal. As for movies, you have a limited amount of time to get all of that information in your head as fast as you can. There's no time limit for books. But it is for movies. Unless there's a sequel or it is 3 hours long.
Secondly, books make you imagine what's going on. Books are a good way to help with your imagination. The Hunger Games is a great example of this. The hunger games uses such excruciating detail and it makes you want to read it more and more. All the amazing vocabulary and adjectives that they are using really made me imagine what it would be like if I were experiencing the person's point of view.
Finally, books are better than movie adaptations because the adaptations have NO correlation with the original book whatsoever. Take Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul for example. It is the WORST movie in the series so far. But I’m not going to go on a rant about how bad it is because I need to tell you that IT MAKES NO SENSE. The movie has no correlation with the book. In the book there is no gamer Mac Digby, and there is no Player Expo. The movie probably just added it so it could be up to date with our current generation of kids. The first three movies of Diary of A Wimpy Kid were amazing. Rodrick Rules is probably one of the best movies in the entire world. But this abomination just makes me cry.
So there you have it. This is why books are better than movie adaptations. This is my point of view and my opinion so you could have your own opinion too. I strongly believe that books are better than the adaptations and here are the reasons why.
I enjoyed this activity because it was fun doing persuasive writing of my choice.
What persuasive writing did you choose to do?
Excellent piece of writing Nicholas. I like how you used examples from movies to back up your point of view. I also liked how you added your own personal opinion as well. Keep up the great work.
