DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE (2003)

Bilingual fourth formers, it's time to start reading the book. You can watch the whole film here in case it can give some extra motivation.

Wikipedia information about the novella

Sparknotes, extremely helpful and a bit swindling, to be honest.

OLIVER TWIST IS OVER. I'M GLAD YOU LIKED IT

It is a true tale of grief and trial, and sorrow, young man," returned Mr. Brownlow, "and such tales usually are; if it were one of unmixed joy and happiness, it would be very brief.” 

Brilliant project by Ángela Bonilla

Differences between the book and the film by Polanski (Esther Bravo)

I have just read a book called Oliver Twist. Also I have watched the film based on the book and I have noticed that there are some differences between the book and the film. I'm going to say some of them. When Oliver scapes from the undertaker's house and he goes to London, in the film there is a good woman that helps and gives him food. In the book, he doesn't receive help from anyone. Also, in the film Mr. Grimwig says that he will eat his head if Oliver doesn't come. In the book, he doesn't say this. In the film, Oliver robs Mr. Brownlow's house and in the book he robs Mrs. Maylie's house (it doesn't appear in the film). When Oliver robs the house, in the film, he goes with Fagin but, in the book, the men leave him in a field. And the last difference I noticed is when Bill is killed, in the book, he dies alone on a roof, and in the film, he brings Oliver with him (of course, Oliver doesn't die). Teacher this was a difficult essay. I have done my best. Hope you like it.
