    1. Freak the Mighty has many similarities. Differences too. The book and movie have many similarities including the main characters. One difference is that Max and Freak meet in their 7th grade year in the movie. In the book, they met in the summer going into 8th grade. This is important because it means the timing of the story is different. Another difference is in the movie Max gets upset about his similarities to Killer Kane. Gram comes in and comforts him. This is right before he gets kidnapped by his father. This does not happen in the book. This is important because it shows the view that he does not want to be like his dad. These are some of the similarities and differneces.

    1. Revised Version of The Pearl comparisons The Pearl book and movie have many similarities and differences. The book and movie both have Kino as their main character and they both have the same characters. Kino’s son Coyotito is named Coyote in the movie, then after Coyote gets baptized by the priest Coyote becomes Juan Coyote. Another difference between the book and movie is at the beginning of the movie we get a background of Kino’s life as a child, this helps explain why his nightmares explain the origin of the songs he hears throughout the movie. There are also many similarities that happen throughout both the novel and the movie. For example the doctor on both the novel and the movie still won’t help the people of the town because they are poor and can’t pay the doctor. This is true even when Kino’s child, Coyotito gets stung by a scorpion. -Matt Rohlfs

      This is my reviewed piece. Allison.

    3. The Dr. in the book and novel is still unwilling to help the people of the town.

      Does anybody else think that we should add reasoning to this to explain the doctor's selfishness? -Reero

      Suggestion time: i think that we should change this also to something like "similarities that occur in these works. -Reero

      This whole part about coyotito's name is very jumbled and needs to be better organized------Allison

    7. This does not happen in the book.

      I simply do not like this sentence, for, it just does not seem long enough. Instead, to fix it, we should add more to describe the difference between these two sections of the movie and the book. If you agree with me, please edit this paragraph and add a smiley face. -Rotsching Boy

    1. Another difference between the book and movie is the beginning of the novel. In the movie, the viewer meets Kino as a young boy and sees he has nightmares that help explain the origin of the Song of the Family.

      It should be, "Another difference between the book and the movie is the beginning, and in the movie the viewer meets Kino when he was young. The viewer also sees that Kino had nightmares when he was young, and those nightmares had helped with describing the origin of the "Song of the Family.

    2. Kino and Juana have a son named Coyotito in the book. In the movie version, Coyotito is named Coyote.

    1. In the movie, the viewer meets Kino as a young boy and sees he has nightmares that help explain the origin of the Song of the Family

      The nightmares started the song of evil, not family and the song of the family comes from either his dad or Juan Tomas.... i couldn't tell. -Sam

    2. This is true even when Kino’s child, Coyotito gets stung. 

      This sentence should not be the last sentence. There should be a conclusion sentence that sums everything up. -Sam

      This should instead be These nightmares. or Add this sentence to the previous sentence and make it become ... Song of the Family, and this does not happen in the book.<br> -Dean

    1. In the movie version, Coyotito is named Coyote. The priest baptizes Coyote with a new name, Juan Coyote.

      there is no reason to why this is important/why is this significant-Zach

    2. but the change the name of Kino’s baby. Kino and Juana have a son named Coyotito in the book. In the movie version, Coyotito is named Coyote. The priest baptizes Coyote with a new name, Juan Coyote.

      Make all of this one sentence.-Zach

    1. The priest baptizes Coyote with a new name, Juan Coyote.

      This sentence is unclear. I would change it to say When the priest baptizes Coyote he gives him a new name: Juan Coyote. -alyssa

      In the book Coyotito is never even baptized it is one of the things that Kino wants to do with the money from the pearl. -Callie Jacobs

    2. but the change the name of Kino’s baby. Kino and Juana have a son named Coyotito in the book. In the movie version, Coyotito is named Coyote. The priest baptizes Coyote with a new name, Juan Coyote.

      The information in this statement is incorrect. their child's name is still Coyotito but they only said his name once before his baptism were they change his name Juan Coyote, from then on they call him Coyote to show respect for his baptism.- BERG

    3. In the movie version, Coyotito is named Coyote

      I don't see how this is relevant, if this does make a difference to the story please give an explanation- Mary Wilkens

    1. the novel.

      The nightmares are not in the beginning of the book. They are in the beginning of the movie. This is unclear. I think you should say that it happens in the movie. Anna Heilers

    2. that help explain the origin of the Song of the Family

      I don't believe they explain the origin of the song of the family. I think his nightmares foreshadow the end of the book. Anna Heilers ;)

    3. The priest baptizes Coyote with a new name, Juan Coyote.

      Why is this significant? You need to say why him being baptized is important. I think you should also say how this is different from the book. What happens in the book that is different from the movie? Anna Heilers

    4. Kino and Juana have a son named Coyotito in the book. In the movie version, Coyotito is named Coyote.

      You need to say why this change is significant. I don't know if it is significant at all. Anna Heilers

    5. Coyotito

      If you referred to him as Coyote in the movie before, it might make more sense to call him Coyote again, or put both in so it is clearer. Anna Heilers

This is true even when Kino’s child, Coyotito gets stung. 

      You should explain WHY they change these things from the book to the movie and why they kept some things the same.- Emma Perera

    7. , Coyotito

      You either need to take out the comma before Coyotito or add one after. It should say, "Kino's son, Coyotito," or "Kino's son Coyotito..." Anna Heilers

    8. This is true even when Kino’s child, Coyotito gets stung.

      Put a comma in between Coyotito and gets. You are naming something that is not exactly part of the actual sentence.- Emma Perera
