Film v Print

There are several difference between a film and a book. In books, you would have to imagine the things in your mind with words. In movies, you don't, all you need to do is to use your eyes to watch it. So as the characters, you would have to imagine how the characters look like with words instead of just looking at in on a screen. In movies, they SHOW you the details in the story. In stories, you would have to use the words that the author wrote down to IMAGINE the details. Reading a book takes more time then watching a movie. I could probably watch ten or more movies by the time you finish one single novel. To me, watching a movie is a lot more relaxing then reading a book. In books, you would have to memorize all those words and descriptions in order to tell what happened. In movies, all you have to do is to watch the movie and see what's happening. Here is one thing that books are better at. It is to show specific details. In a movie, it is very easy to miss a little part of the film. This can cause you to miss a small detain of the story. In stories, you won't jump around pages when you read, so this means that you won't skip details.
