Describe a book based on which a film has been made. v. 1
Describe a book based on which a film has been made. You should say: what it is which one you prefer - the book or the film what the story of the book is and explain whether the story of the book is a good one or a bad one.   Model Answer 1: I am no movie critique – I just watch them. The same holds "true" when I read a book. Therefore, asking a complete layman person like me, with no movie or book reviewing skills, is like asking to find some treasures from underneath an ocean who can barely swim. Still, I will go ahead and try to do some justice to this topic without sounding utterly idiot. The name of the book is “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption”, written by Stephen King. By the way, Stephen king undoubtedly is one of the best American authors of horror, supernatural fiction, suspense, and fantasy novels who has sold more than 350 million copies of his books. Anyway, the book tells the story of banker Andy Dufresne (the role played by famous Hollywood actor Tim Robbins), who is sentenced to life in Shawshank State Penitentiary for the murders of his wife and her lover, despite his claims of innocence. Over the following two decades in the prison, he befriends a fellow prisoner, contraband smuggler Ellis "Red" Redding (played by Morgan Freeman) and then becomes instrumental in a money-laundering operation led by the prison warden. Andy escapes from the prison while Red gets released on parole. But, they both reunite in Zihuatanejo, Mexico, at the end of the story with a glimmer of hope to start a normal life. Anyway, even though, I like the storyline of the book, I prefer the movie version of it because it helps me visualize the events of the book in a more surreal manner. Now, talking about the story of the book, I think that it is certainly a good one because there are a lot of twists and turns in it, especially, like how the prison wardens become involved with the money laundering scheme. However, the best part of this book is that it actually teaches to hold onto our hopes, no matter how bad the situation really gets, because it is the hope which gives us purpose in our life. All in all, the book has a great and engaging story.
