Question

Select two major differences between Part III of the short story and the film clip.

Only the film clip creates suspense with the dialogue between Mr. and Mrs. White.

Mrs. White accuses Mr. White of killing their son only in the film clip.

Only Part III of the story depicts Mr. White making his third and final wish.

Only the film clip repeats Sergeant-Major Morris’s warning, “If you must . . . wish for something sensible.”

Mrs. White’s behavior comes across as frantic only in Part III of the story.

Answer 1

Here are two major differences between Part III of the short story and the film clip:

1. Only the film clip creates suspense with the dialogue between Mr. and Mrs. White. - The film emphasizes the tension and emotional conflict between the characters through their dialogue, which may not be as vividly portrayed in the written text of Part III.

2. Only Part III of the story depicts Mr. White making his third and final wish. - In the short story, Mr. White’s third wish is a crucial moment that directly leads to the resolution of the plot, whereas this element may not be as clearly presented in the film adaptation.

These points highlight significant differences in how emotional tension and critical plot points are conveyed in the different mediums.
