  5. Attractive assets of the book Great Books!!! It could give motivations to the readers to read more. I think this will help the reader to understand Charlie more in depth.

  10. Shared Parts • Deals with real issues of teens (SAT, Homosexuality(Gay), Violence, Drug, Death of relative, Dating, Friendship) • It is easy for teens to relate to • Both leave reader and viewers to think deeper about these issues

  11. Yes, in Book. No, in the Movie • Relationship of Charlie and his family -His Father, how Charlie feels about him -His Sister, how Charlie helped her through her hard times -His Aunt Helen, what happened between him and her • Relationship of Charlie and Mr.Anderson(English teacher) • Charlie’s insight about the books and the songs

  12. Yes, in Movie. No, in the Book • Awesome Combination of the actors • Emotional scenes -For example, the last scene of the movie, where they ride through the tunnel, listening to Heroes by David Bowie • Fabulous Editing • The power of actually watching and hearing

  13. In my opinion.. • The movie deals with 70 percent of the book. • The story line is the same. • The book develops Charlie more in depth, in the aspects of his relationship with his family members. • Other than that, the movie tried to get everything inside, and yet it made it not confusing at all. What the movie was telling was very clear, and it was same as the book. • Actually, the characters in the movie surprised me, because they matched so well. The actors did a great job. I felt like I found new land.

  14. Supplement to each other • I read this book when I was in Korea, and also watched the movie while I was reading the book. • Both have own strengths. • The Movie made me feel more into the book, because it was easy to imagine the characters. • The Book helped me get more details, and also made me have interest in teenage problems. • Also the letter format of the book made it easier for me to put my emotion into the book, because it sounded like Charlie was talking to me.

  15. Read and Watch • I recommend students to read book and also watch the movie version. Both of them are really good. • It does not matter which one goes first. • They supplement each other in different ways. • So, Read and Watch. Watch and Read!
