Compare the book Pobby and Dingan with the Movie called Opal Dream

Both the book “Pobby and Dingan” and the movie “Opal Dream” were very good. I read the book and watched the movie two times. Between the two, I liked the book better.

             The story in the movie moved faster than it did in the book. It was too fast.  When I was watching the first part of the movie and saw Kellyanne playing with Pobby and Dingan, I would think about when I was reading the book and how the book talked about her friends. When I was reading the book, Kellyanne playing with her imaginary friends seemed different, but not crazy. It seemed like when some people play with their stuffed animal friends. In the movie, she looked a little crazy playing with her friends. The book did not make her seem crazy like she seemed in the movie.

              Also, in the book, Ashmol changing how he felt about Pobby and Dingan was slower. He started to worry about his sister and how he felt about Pobby and Dingan started to change. In the book, the change seemed to happen very fast. I liked the way that it happened in the book better.

              I liked it how in the book, Ashmol went around planning the funeral for Pobby and Dingan. I liked that the book talked about how he went to see Mr. Dan Dunkley about having a funeral, then he went to talk to the preacher, and then he talked to Humph about making invitations to the funeral. Ashmol put the invitations all over the town. In the movie, Ashmol invited people to the funeral at the end of his father’s trial and the man on the radio was talking about the funeral.

              The end of the book was better than the end of the movie too. In the movie, Ashmol was nice to say good things about Pobby and Dingan, but I thought that what the preacher said in the book was better. I liked that in the movie, we did not know that Kellyanne died and was buried with Pobby and Dingan, but both the book and the movie were sad at the end.
