After comparing/contrasting the movie and the short story versions of "To Build a Fire", the story version is a more effective art form. If you take the story and the book, of course stories are more detailed. Movies are too, but not as much as stories. Stories are more understandable. Because you can go back and read it, if you don't understand. The difference between the story and the movie was the story was …showed first 75 words of 334 total…

…showed last 75 words of 334 total…just like he was explained, cold, harmless, and boring. Also in common they had tried to make a fire. After comparing/contrasting the movie and the short story versions of "To Build a Fire", the story version is a more effective art form. I think that because the story is more realistic. When the movie was on it seemed more fake. But overall I think that the story was a better way to understand it.
