Frankenstein: the films vs. the book

I’ve read Frankenstein by Mary Shalley and then I’ve seen the film based in the book. There are some differences and now I’m going to tell some of them to you.

- In the film Justin’s mother appears and in the book she doesn’t.

- In the book Victor’s mother dies of an illness, in the film she dies guing birth to William.

- In the film Victor receives a diary form her mother but not in the book.

- In the book appears Ernest, the youngest brother of the family but in the film he doesn’t.


- In the film Victor meets Henry from University but in the book they met during childhood.

- In the book, Victor’s laboratory is in one island in the lake, and in the film it’s near the University.

- In the film the experiment is not totally secret because Victor’s teacher and Henry know about it, but in the book nobody knows anything.

- In the film there is an epidemic.

-In the film, Felix’s grandchild is a boy and in the book is a girl.

- In the film one man asks Felix for money and then he hits him. After the monster saves Felix and they go into the house. This doesn’t happen in the book. In the book the monster saves a girl from the river and this doesn’t happen in the film.

Description of a place

Today I’m going to describe a very beautiful part of United States where I stayed during my last vacations. I’m talking about Hawaii. Hawaii is one archipelago and it has some different islands.

My description is about only one of them, Oahu. Oahu is a very beautiful island and is the biggest of the archipelago. It has very beautiful beaches with very clean and blue water. But not only are the beaches beautiful, all the island is covered for wonderful green mountains that seems like a saw. The climate always helps to do more beautiful the island. This is very hot and sometimes you can see that it’s raining while you are very hot. The buildings and the houses are very nice and some of them are made of wood so it makes them very different.

I think that this is the most wonderful place I’ve ever been and I would go there again if I ever can.
