A change in Media II

Often times people have completely different feelings about the movie rather then the book. Is that true for you? Once again I recommend reading the book and then watching the movie, because the movie often ruins the book for me. After reading the book and then watching the movie I noticed many changes such as, No one fails out of Dauntless on the first day. While it's still clear that Dauntless is a tough faction, there are no recruits who become factionless. Additionally, there is no recruit who misses the building and falls to there death. Although in the book many do. Peter is less vicious in the movie and adds a tinge of humor. In the book, he is a monster, who cheated and used violence to get his high ranking in Dauntless. At one point, he even stabs another trainee in the eye to keep his place in the rankings. In the movie he has humor and an attitude. Also there is less fighting in the pits. While the Divergent movie does a good job of explaining how new faction members will live and die by their rankings, we don’t get to see what most of Tris’ friends, and companions are capable of in the ring. In the book, we know that Al felt protective of Tris and even had a desire to date her. In the movie, we know Al and Tris hang around with one another. The two aren't as close in the movie, which makes his betrayal not as big of a deal. Plus Peter never feels Tris up, or made comments about her body and toying with the possibility of a rape along with the murder. It makes it easier to see Peter and Al as human beings

instead of monsters. As you can see, there were many changes from the novel to the movie, drastic changes actually. Changes that make you think a completely different way. 

A change in Media

Media is the way the story is got out, in the case Divergent was a book .. Now a major motion picture. In other words known as a movie. Of course every book even turned into a movie go's through changes. There must be changes made and on top of that directors always change things around, because they think it will make the movie better. Although many readers often dislike the changes. In Divergent , I loved both the book and the movie. Although I enjoy them in different ways. I feel the characters have a completely different feel to them in the movie rather then the book. In the book I feel the reader gets many more small details that are often over looked in the process of creating the movie. Those small details often lead to something bigger and aren't just there to make you read more. So I feel when those details are left out, we don't get the whole feel of the book. Which is why I always recommend reading the book before watch the movie, not only for Divergent. 

Figurative Language

Figurative language, it like a total different language of it own. In Divergent there are many examples of figurative language. This book is also filled with many different forms. Some examples being metaphor’s, similes, alliteration, and symbolism. You may also notice some hyperbole and personification as well. A metaphor can be found in chapter one. "When she lets her hair down at night, it hangs in waves over her shoulders" This is a metaphor because it is comparing to unlike things without using like or as. Similes compare to unlike things using like or as as a transition. A simile is also found in chapter one. As you can tell Veronica started off early with figurative language. Figurative language gets apart of the story and details across to you that couldn’t happen without it. Alliteration is important because it is often seen as a way to add detail to a piece. Veronica use alliteration to emphasize the color of this characters face in this example of alliteration. "He is plaster-pale. He pushes his pains along his legs like I do when I wipe off sweat..." We cant forget about hyperbole, we often use it in out daily life while talking or telling a story. Hyperbole is an extream stretching of the truth. Chapter five had many good examples like, "...my heart will burst out of my chest any minute now.”
