Well all in all, the movie and the book were well different from each other. The book was detailed much more than the movie. The movie sometimes even changed some of the major events that the book states clearly. For example, when Johnny burns his hand in the book, he slips on the beeswax and his hand comes on the molten silver. In the movie, Ms. Lapham throws water on him or the furnace (because a constable was coming, which it should be a seafaring man) and he slips and his hand comes on some molten silver on the ground. In the book, Rab was supposed to be a dark young man, while in the movie he is white. Goblin, the horse, was supposed to be white, but he was black. Johnny never came to the war in Lexington, but in the movie he got a British musket and started fighting with Rab. There was no Dove, Isannah, Dusty, or Mr. Tweedie. Yeah, that’s the main idea… there are big differences between the book and the movie.
There are so many differences between the movie and the book, as I said before, but there are a few similarities. Here are some of the ones that I remember. Obviously just like the book sys, Johnny appears to like Cilla, who looks just about Johnny’s age. He gets a job in The Boston Observer with Rab. There are also some meetings in the attic of the Observer’s office. Johnny goes to prison because of Mr. Lyte and the cups problem. The first time Johnny meets with Rab, they eat what looked like cheese and bread in the movie just like what it says in the book. The Americans win the Lexington war. That’s it for similarities I think, there are more, but I am not going to state all of them.
