More often than not a book is recreated into a movie and, it is a disappointment to most when it is changed. The short story, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", by Washington Irving is quite different from the movie Sleepy Hollow directed by Tim Burton. In this case it is a tale that was transformed into modern day Hollywood and the plot, characters, and setting are much more than a little diverse.
The characters of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" are significantly different in the movie. For example, Ichabod Crane was undeniably attractive with his innocent-but-caring smile. Even the beautiful blond haired Katrina, that every man wanted to love, loved Ichabod. Furthermore, the larger than life Brom Bones was not important to the story even though he was willing to give his life to save Katrina. He actually did when the Headless Horseman entered the town and Brom took a swing at him and breathed his last breath. Another example of difference is the Headless Horseman himself. Since he was controlled by Katrina's step-mother he killed innumerable amounts of people. There were many differences but also similarities, such as Brom Bones and Ichabod still loving Katrina. Also, the still caring Ichabod was almost as equally frightened from the living dead Headless Hessian Horseman to the tiniest of spiders.
In the movie and in the book there were differences in the plot from the very beginning. For one thing, we knew the conflict from the very beginning; it got right to the point and there wasn't a thirty minute introduction. In addition the plot was based around the entire Van Garret issue making anyone an heir to the money a target for death. Finally, at the end Ichabod at last won over Katrina Van Tassel and moved to New York City away from the lurking shadows. Even though the movie's plot and the book's plot were almost completely different there were a few similarities. One example, of a similarity is the autumn party at the Van Tassels.
In the movie Sleepy Hollow the setting is basically the same as the book with a few exceptions. One difference in particular the many other setting such as the church, the woods, and the archer hearth. Furthermore, with many additions to the setting they missed one trivial part; Terry Town. There are many more similarities than differences in the settings circumstances. For one thing, the story takes place in the dreary Sleepy Hollow in the same time period, the eighteenth century. Also, there is an important tree in both cases. The Tree of the Dead in the movie and in the book it is Major AndrÃ's tree. Another similarity is that he was chased by Brom Bones pretending to be the Headless Horseman and was hit by a pumpkin twice.
A tale that was transformed into a modern day Hollywood and the plot, characters, and setting are much more than a little diverse. Even with changes to the legend, the movie was still superior. After reading the short story and watching the movie I appreciated the film better. I enjoyed the plot more, and it was easier to understand. Even more so, I got to see what the characters looked like and got to experience their personality. In this natural place, a while ago, Ichabod crane, spent time in Sleepy Hollow.
the writers compare and contrast to analyze the strength and weakness of a book or article. as a critic the writer wants to bring some elements of improvements in that piece of writing.

yes it has become a movie
In literature, contrast between themes, character personalities (etc) creates a sense of the characters or, more commonly, the themes and settings disagreeing with each other and not creating a "harmonious" series of events throughout the book. As you might imagine, when people disagree, tension is created due to this and the same is applicable with literature and it's themes.

I don’t know
When comparing two things, you look for similarities and differences between them. For example, in a compare and contrast essay, you might discuss how two characters from a book are similar in their determination but differ in their approach to problem-solving. This type of analysis helps highlight both the commonalities and distinctions between the subjects being compared.

There are, inevitably difference between the movie and the book. There is no song or other component to a Rainbow in the book ( a cyclone would destroy its own rainbow by its own shock wave) while no science-fiction writer, Mr. Baum at least realized that fact. There are a number of different characters such as the Pumpkinhead which do not appear in the film, a good study for Compare and contrast.
There are some major differences in characters and development between the book and the movie. Gump is not as successful in the book, nor is Jenny as bad. Below I have included a link to a site that compare the book and movie.
Henrik is not in the movie, and neither is Phillip's father. The book begins in Curacao, whereas the movie begins on the ship. In the book, Timothy and Phillip stay on the cay for months, but in the movie, only fro days. In the book, Timothy attempts to get rid of stew cat, but not in the book. There are several more differences.
Their Eyes Were Watching God, a novel by Zora Neale Hurston, delves deeper into the inner thoughts and emotions of the protagonist, Janie, providing a more intricate character development. The movie adaptation, while visually capturing the essence of the story, may simplify certain plot points and character interactions to fit within a limited time frame. Both versions are powerful in their own ways, offering different experiences of the same story.
The movie is really bad, the book, sublime.
In the book "Monster" by Walter Dean Myers, one can compare and contrast the characters of Steve Harmon and James King. Both are accused of a crime, but Steve is perceived as innocent and struggles with his internal thoughts and conscience, while James appears more hardened and disconnected from the gravity of his situation. The contrast lies in their attitudes toward their roles in the crime and how they cope with being accused.
