Essay About Movie Cujo And Small Little Things

Comparsen Between the Book and Movie Cujo
Comparsen Between the Book and Movie Cujo
Watching the movie is so much more interesting, and it grabs your

he?s a little nervous because he thinks there is a monster under his bed. His
father tucks him into bed and says good night. About 10 minutes later Tad
wakes up screaming his head off saying he sees a monster in his closet. The
author doesn?t even describe what the ?monster? looks like. In the movie it
shows what the closet monster looks like, and some scary sounds to really get

auto shop to get his car worked on. Tad plays with Cujo for the first time. I
mean there are only small little things that are different in the book and movie.

of his closet door (in the movie). Another comparison would be when Vic?s
wife cheats on him with Steve Kemp. Book talks about Steven a little, doesn?t?

Cujo attacks Vic?s wife and his son Tad, while they are still stuck in the car.
The book talks about how Cujo does run into the car and how he transfers
rabies into the mother but what it doesn?t talk about is how violent Cujo is. He
