Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit Film

The film adaptation of the novel had some similarities and differences. The characters mainly are presented how they are in the novel but the film did have certain aspects that the novel did not employ. In the adaptation, Jeannette's name is changed to Jess and compared to the novel, the adaptation focuses more on realism and details that are not as sugar-coated. The novel mainly summarizes what happened in the film which may make the story a little more complicated to get information from. But overall, the film and novel were a lot less complicated than other novels read this semester such as "The Bluest Eye" and "Carpenter's Gothic."
