Zathura vs. "Zathura"

A story about two boys who's relationships were about change forever. The difference between books and movies are most people like books better than movies. Movies have more detail. You also get know characters better. But this time the movie was better than the book. Zathura the book and "Zathura" the movie have the same basic plot, but the characterization is different; there is more action in the movie than the book.

Zathura the book and "Zathura" the movie have some similarities. Both book and movie have the same characters. Such as Danny and Walter. Also in the beginning they are both fighting. At the end they're getting along and respect is shown for each other. The game is also the same. They must finish it. Both of them have to play. Both games are dangerous in movie and book. They also get to go back home at the end of the game. In the same way both show some of the neighborhood. The setting of this movie and book is that the house is in outer space. It still takes place in a neighborhood, but the house goes into outer space. All of this takes place in a house.

The book and movie also have some differences. In the movie Walter and Danny fight for their dad's attention. The characterization is much deeper in the book. Also in the movie it shows how much Walter is irritated by Danny. The reason why Walter is so irritated it's because Danny cheats when playing board games. He also messes up stuff that does not belong to him. The movie also has a lot more action then the book. What I mean by action is, when the zorgons attack the house and when Lisa pushes the piano down the stairs and knocks down the zorgon. This movie can be funny when Lisa tells the astronaut about his gorgeous eyes, but the astronaut is really Walter in the future.

Now that you have read my essay, you should now have a sense on what the movie and book sound and look like. You also know how they are different. So to wrap it up which one do you like best? Zathura or "Zathura"? It's your choice.
