Before I begin my theory about how movies are a THOUSAND TIMES better than books, for those of you who come up to me and try to complain to me their reason why it’s not, I personally couldn’t care less.<\/p>\n
Having gone to North Toronto this year, I’ve learned how to write a literary paragraph, how to calculate angles on a hexagon, how much the Nelvana version of Tintin (aka TANTAN) sucks, and how most of the students in my grade like spending their free time. Now, I do admit to be a bit of a slacker when it comes to almost 95% of everything I learn here, but I don’t need to constantly hear about it up and down the halls. Now North Toronto, please don’t be offended by truth and please don’t take this personally. I’m not talking about all of you necessarily. Besides, I don’t even know 97% of this school. And even I’ll admit I haven’t read some books to judge whether it’s movie was better than its book. Let’s be real. Not all movies were better than their books.

\nJust because I may not want to go into business like most of you doesn’t mean
\nthat my opinion suddenly differs from everything else. For example, if you
\nreally think you’re cool, you wouldn’t be reading a book in the middle of class
\nthinking you’re gonna get caught. If anything, you should be taking that time
\npossibly sneaking out your laptop or your iTouch (God forbid) and watch
\nsomething entertaining like a movie. It really surprises me how I am able to
\nsee tons and tons and tons of movies and not even a third of thosehave any of
\nyou even heard of. What annoys me the most is that most of you don’t give a
\nchance to be entertained and take (God forbid) 2\u00bd hours out of your miserable
\nhigh school lives and pay $16 to go to the silver screen and catch a flick.
\nEspecially when that movie is based on a popular book, most of you choose to
\nsuddenly start reading that book when in reality you could’ve had 3 years to do
\nthat. The book’s already made enough money if it IS that popular so now maybe
\ngive Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson a chance to show off their archery
\nskills. And for those of you who say you’ll watch the movie after you’re done
\nthe book while that movie’s still out, we all know that’s never gonna happen.
\nAnd I’m also pretty sure that you don’t know that most of the greatest movies
\nof all time were based off books? Take Hugo<\/span> or Jurassic Park<\/span> or The
\nShining<\/span> or Forrest Gump<\/span>… they were based off of books but most of
\nyou are probably going to lie through your teeth and say you’ve read those
\nbooks when in reality you’re probably learning this fact for the first time.<\/p>\n
\nTwilight<\/span> for example. Both its movies and books sucked!<\/p>\n
