Question

In a well-developed paragraph that includes a topic sentence, supporting details, and conclusion, respond to the following question: Which was more effective at telling the story of Jimmy Valentine, the text or the film version? Give your opinion, and then give details about each version to support your choice. Consider elements like characterization, setting, music, lighting, and emotional connection to the story.

Answer 1

Answer:

I personally believe that the film version better tells the story of Jimmy Valentine. In a film, the characters are much more tangible. We can see what they look like and don't have to imagine. The film version better exaggerates the dramatic story and enables us to really feel along with the characters rather than just read along. The emotional scenes in the story are better portrayed in the film. In conclusion, the film version is better at telling the story of Jimmy Valentine because it gives us a palpable picture of the story and allows the audience to better follow the story in the shoes of the main characters.
