book or movie? which is the best?

Readers wonder, is the book or the movies better? As a student who has read and seen both, I prefer the book it has more of a realistic touch to it and describes the character more. If I had not read the book, I would not have known who was who. As an experiment, I have asked two people which they preferred. Christina Schaefer, another student at high tech middle stated that she prefers the book. Her reasoning? "It’s a true story, interesting, and not boring to read." that's an answer you would get out of any middle school student. When I asked another girl from the same class, I got a different answer. Caryl Velas, a 7Th grader said that the movie was better because "it told the story more thoroughly." after the first question, I asked another. "How was the movie and book different." again, I got two different opinions. Christina said that "the book had a lot more detail and a catch that kept her reading; something very rare for her and the movie didn’t have the same so it came off as boring." Caryl wasn’t sure how the two were different but she knew that it was. All in all, everyone has their own opinions; so make sure you get them out!
