FRANKENSTEIN: the film vs the book

I'm going to tell you some of the differences I saw between the book and the film. I'm afraid I won't be able to put them all in the perfect order 'cause I don't remeber it very well.

- At the begining, the monster appears on a sledge in the book, while he is going by foot in the film.
- Justine's mother (whose name we don't know) just appears in the film, while Ernest (Vicor's youngest brother) just appears in the book.
- Victor's mother dies because of an illness in the book, and giving birth to Victor in the film.
- In the film the guardians hang a man who thinks that the doctors who are vaccuning everyone because there's an epidemic are liars. This don't happen in the book.
- In the film, they have a party when Victor goes to the university.
- While in the book Victor meets Henry during the infancy, in the film they meet in the university.
- Victor's teacher dies in the film, but he doesn't in the book.
- The experiment is not completly secret in the book, Henry and the teacher know about it.
- In the film the laboratory it's not in a far island like in the book.
- Victor doesn't go to the prison in the film.
- What does not happen in the book is that, the monster saves Felix from another man who hit him and then they enter to the house.
- In the film the monster doesn't save a girl from a river.
- There's no trial before hanging Justine in the film.
- While in the book the photo of William's chain is from Victor's mother, in the film is from Victor.
- Victor's father dies of sadness because of Elizabeth's death in the book, but he's killed by the monster in the film.
- In the film Victor finally cannot continue with the female monster because it was the Justine's body.
- In the book, the monster drown Elizabeth, while he pulls out her heart in the film.
- In the film, Victor wants to give life to Elizabeth again 'cause he can't stand beeing without her. Then she wakes up and realises that is like the monster, although she recognizes Victor. After she commites suicide.
- The monster burns himself near the Victor's dead body in the film.
- Henry doesn't die in the film.

Beeing a celebrity is a great thing.

When somebody asks you who would you like to be, you usually anwer giving the name of a celebrity. So, looking at this fact, we generally think that be a celebrity would be great.
Of course, there are lots of greats things on beeing a famous person. You have got a lot of money, you can go shopping at the fifth avenue every day and you can travel around the world in the best hotels. Moreover, you know lots of famous ppersons and you are invited to chic parties or events like the past Oscar Awards.
Nevertheless, there are some disadvantatges on beeing known around the world. You haven't got any private life even if you want to because you have got the paparzzies behind you durind the whole day.
So I think that, despite of having a lot of money, it has to be horrible to be followed by someone who you don't know and asks you for your life.

A year later he gives a lung lobe to his brother Ben, a tax collector of the IRS. After that he starts to search people who needed help. He donates part of his liver to Holly, who works in the child services. Then he gives a kidney to a sixty-yeard-old man called George and he donates bone marrow to Nicholas, a young boy ho has leukaemia.
After that he contacts Holly and asks her for anyone who deserves help. She suggests him a woman called Connie who lives with an abusive boyfriend and two sons. One night Connie is really afraid of her boyfriend and calls Tim asking for help. He gives her the keys of the beach house and she moves there with her children. Before that Tim had moved into a local motel, where he had a jellyfish.
To check out his lasts candidates Tim stoles his brother's credentials and makes him know with his brother's name Ben.
