Introduction Reason/Reasons for writing about my research topic. I wanted to prove that books are most always better than the movie. Doing this paper helped me to understand this concept better. This paper helps improve my knowledge on understanding movies and books. Thesis Statement Why the first 4 books of a Series of Unfortunate Events are better than the movie version because the books give more detail about a certain at one time, while the movie spreads out thin information. Fact 1 The children, Violet, Clause,and Sunny, find out they have lost everything; their house and parents. In the movie the movie they find out about their parents at the beginning and their burned down house at the end. Evidence 2 When the children meet Count Olaf you are told that he is evil and of his evil intentions. While in the movie you are just told he is evil at the beginning and you find out his intentions at the end. Evidence 3 In the books you are told that the children's parents had spyglasses and tried to prevent mysterious fires that killed themselves and their family. The movie tells you that their aunt, Josephine, had a picture of their family and they all had spyglasses while later on you are told they tried to prevent the mysterious fires. Evidence 4 In the book Count Olaf does a play about a girl (Violet) who is going to get married to a count(Count Olaf) and at the end of the play he explains how he has their fortune. When you watch the wedding in the movie he does the play at the beginning of the movie and explains how he has the fortune at the end of the movie. Evidence 5 When they meet aunt Josephine in the book they tell you she is afraid of everything, especially the docks because he husband died at the docks. In the movie aunt Josephine only tell you she is afraid of the docks but when they have to go rescue her you are told why she is afraid of the docks. Evidence 6 When the children meet their Uncle Monty they find out about his love of snakes through his speech but in the movie you find out about his love of snakes when he shows the children his reptile room. Evidence 7 When you read the books you are told that their parents sent them a letter and the children read it together and it was sent when they were alive. It also had another spyglass. In the movie Violet and Clause talk about the letter but you never see it until the end. Evidence 8 My last evidence is in the book Count Olaf says he wanted supper done for him and his theater group by eight o clock. In the movie he tells the children that he wants supper done for him and his theater group. Once they are almost done he tells them that he wanted supper done by eight o clock. Conclusion In conclusion the books are better than the movie because the books give keep the information together while the movie spreads out the information.
