  2. If you read a brief article is different if you see the movie, the main difference is about points of view.
    The Reading is based in the plot of a film, the book is more complex and deep and reading illustrates a number of key issues for the reader.
    The book contains their nature and melodrama, while the movie is about the spirit of the work.
    That is to say, the written message is different from the interpretation or performance of the character into the movie.

  3. One example is: the movie is often described as dark and passionate. Heathcliff as violent and cathy as selfish whereas the movie portrays cathy and Heathcliff in a more sympathetic light than the reading of the book.

  6. In the story the characters use the flashbacks to narrate or tell the events and they are also presented out of chronological order, for example Lockwood starts the story in the first chapter, in the fourth chapter when Lockwood requests information about his neighbours, Mrs. Dean says to him what happened when Mr. Earnshaw brought the gossip boy to Wuthering Heigths.

  7. In the movie Heathcliff is an orphan gentle an innocent, but in the book the author describes him like a bad boy who manipulates Mr Earnshaw, insensible, … conscious he had only to speak and all the house would be obliged to bend to his wishes. As an instance, I remember Mr. Earnshaw once bought a couple colts at the parish fair, and gave the lads each one. Heathcliff took the handsomest, but it soon fell lame, and when he discovered it, he said to Hindley - 'You must exchange horses with me: I don't like mine; and if you won't I shall tell your father of the three thrashings you've given me this week, and show him my arm, which is black to the shoulder.' Hindley put out his tongue, and cuffed him over the ears. 'You'd better do it at once,' he persisted, escaping to the porch (they were in the stable): 'you will have to: and if I speak of these blows, you'll get them again with interest.' 'Off, dog!' cried Hindley, ….

  8. In a book the author has to use different resources to keep the attention of the reader, making him/her to imagined true the descriptions, the narration and the literature terms step by step, giving the elements that will give life to the story or the conflicts presented in it. The movie is a form to know the novel of Wuthering Heigths too, is not to precise in descriptions like the novel, because is more expensive and short.

  9. I agree with Ana, because the author make that the readers imagine the narration where the reading illustrates an expensive conflict, description more complex presented it. Through the novel we can know a summary about the book where the characters show some interpretations that reflect the message of the book.

  10. Was Catherine and Heathcliff's love incestuous? Remember they were raised as siblings!

    ResponderEliminar
  11. your question regarding teacher; I think not, because even though they were raised as brothers so they never felt. always was present one more passionate feeling that love so a brother.

    ResponderEliminar
  12. The focus of this novel is always at the center almost obsessive relationship that existed between protagonistas.la attitude of the characters was cold, austere, with little room for emotions.
      The idea was to show how each other are affected by their actions by certain social determinism and to some extent by a stronger passion convention.

    1. The problem in the love story between Catherine and Heathcliff was that he did not belong to the same society class; everybody knew that they were not blood parents, that they were raised together as brother and sister.

  16. In the story we can deduce the conflict that Catherine felt when she returned to Wuthering Heights after her permanence in Thruscross Grange, but that internal conflict made her refuse the love that she had for Heathcliff, she discover the privileges of her society class and he was delighted with it.

  17. The benefits of reading the novel were that it helps the student to know new vocabulary, he/her have to use reading strategies to capture the conflict in it, also helps to infer the development of the drama presented. The movie helps to precise the events of the story in an easy form but it helps us to listen carefully to capture what the characters are expressing, it is use to stimulate the listening skill.

  20. I agree with Erylin her opinion is an interest point of view, as she said the novel provides us a variety an extended vocabulary, helps the student to make use of the different strategies of reading like: scanning, skimming, and reading for details; by the other hand the movie is useful because it request from the listener to pay more attention to it, helping to polish the skill of listening.

  21. In the novel we read and learn words, verbs, adjetives,new vocabulary, if we do not undestand we can stop the reading and start again, or stop and find the meaning of the word, in the movie we learn true the visual imagens or pictures, and it develops the listening skill.

  22. The new age requires the use of all the strategies, resources, approaches, knowledge and preparation that are available to improve the learning process, in the communicative approach the development of the skills of reading, listening, speaking, and writing are the priority to help the student to be able to communicate making use of real language.
