You also need to write at least 2 differences between the book and the movie.

Similar:Mr.Foster said to sell the
farm. Grandpa is sick.

Different:The dogs name is Morgan
in the movie. Willy is 12 in the
movie but 10 in the book.

I like the movie better because it has more scenes and Willy gets a new dog.

B4 said...

I liked the movie more because Stone fox gave little Willy a puppy.

The doctor is still doc.Smith.
His mom and dad both died.
It is not a patato farm.
And the dogs name is morgan.
I like the movie better because at the end they get a new puppy.

The 2 differences are in the movie the dogs name was Morgan and in the book her name was Searchlight. the other one is in the book they didn't get a new puppy but in the movie they did.The 2 similarities are in both the movie and the book theylived in Wyoming. The other one is the dog dies in both. My favorite is the movie because at the end they get a new puppy.

The same things are that willy had probloms with his grandfather,the other one is morgon and searchlight died at the same time. The differents is that Stone Fox brought a baby to doc. Smith, and the next one is that willy fell through the ice. I like better is the movie because it had a happy ending not a sad one.

Two things that are the same is that there's taxt leter's and not much mony in the box, and that in both the people that they know are telling them to sell the farm. Two differentces,are that in the book, Little Willy was 10 and in the movie, he was 12. Another one is that in the book, it was $50 to get in the race, and in the movie, it was $10 to get in.

They are the same becuse Doc Smith gives him cinomon cake and he picks up his dead dog and walks to the finish line.They are dinfferent becuse the tax man dosn't come in the movie and the dogs name is Morgan in the movie.I like the moovie better becuse I think its way more funny.
