Mini Reading Journal: comaprison between the Movie and Novella(Rita Hayworth and the SHawshank Redemption)

Although I saw the movie before I read the original novel, watching the movie didn’t make the novel boring and reading the novel didn’t make me regret watching the movie. Both works had distinct values of their own. The novel concentrates on lengthy and detailed description of the characters and their personalities. It was impressive in the sense that it was long enough to make me feel the difference of class between Shawshank and other novels of it’s like. Meanwhile, the movie was also one of its kind. It was fair on all categories of casting, surrounding, and directing. It helped me enjoy the story more comfortably while at the same time not deviating too much from the novel.
