Movie versions of the books I've read this semester

I wanted to compare the movie versions to the books I read this semester. I watched Jaws and The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Jaws was very similar to the book, but there were a few things they forgot. For example, Chief Brody's wife secretly datead Hooper in the book. ALso the shark died differently in the movie. In the book the shark died from wounds and in the movie it was blown up. Quinn died differently also. He was not eaten by the shark in the book. Hooper also didn't die in the book. He survived in the cage.

In The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the movie was very accurate and the storyline was pretty accurate, but the timeline was different. A few things in the movie never happened in the book. One character had 2 heads in the book, but only 1 head in the movie. Also different characters did things in the movie than who did it in the book. Also, Trillion was not Arthur's date in the book. She was Ford's date.

I liked the movie Jaws better than Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The comedy in the Hitchiker's book was much better and I liked imagining the characters in the book better than seeing them in the movie.
