when a movie based on a book comes out, do you like to
A) read the book before you see the movie
B) see the movie before reading the book

I usually like to read the book because if the movie is based on it, it only seems natural to take in what came first. I like to think what the characters would look like before I see the person playing the character and I'm stuck with that image.
but, I read Eragon way before the movie came out, and I was very diapointed with the movie because of how outstanding the book was and I just wanted to know what order everyone else likes to do it in.

I was digging through my old backback earlier and I came across an English assignment from a couple of years ago and I'm extremely bored so I thought I might as well ask them again and see if anyone got close to the same answers as me. If you get the answers right, you get an extra ten points!!!! Oh, and on the paper it said that these questions were from the beginning to page 39, if that has anything to do with anything. Okay, here it goes:

1.List 3 examples showing the power of Hemingway's prose,
2.Describe the relationship between santiago and Manolin, the boy.
3. Describe Santiago's dreams and what they might symbolize.
4.Choose 2 elements of nature that Santiago reacts to and summarize his feelings about them.

That's it! Enjoy!

I like fiction, mostly mystery and horror. I've read almost all of King and Koontz books. No science fiction or Harry Potter, or fantasy books.
