Today Mr. Rivers was absent (rest his soul), We were aware of this so we were told to work on our essays. For some people that meant different things than it meant for others.  Depending on progress some people finished their books, if it was not yet done, others started their movie others finished their movie in class. If we finished that we were supposed to start brainstorming ideas for our essay comparing the novel to its film. I personally didn't watch my movie The Godfather recently enough to remember much of it so at the start of class I began to watch my movie. When the period had about 10 minutes left I stopped watching the movie because there was something I wanted to compare in the book to how it was in the movie.

In my book the beginning took place in a courthouse , but in the movie the first scene is anything but a court house. However even though the setting wasn't the same or similar it gave the same information as the court room in the book. The man explain the events that lead up to his daughter being beat up to the point where she had to be sent to the hospital. By making this the opening scene this does two things gives a more emotional take on the event where as a judge’s deliverance of information would seem sort of cool and unfeeling. So one it adds emotion, but two is this scene may even give more information about the event the the courthouse scene in the book did. Her father is more likely to know what happened leading up to the event then a judge just reading the claims of a paper. So just from the start of the movie i can see big differences but the differences might work well.
