Oranges are not the only fruit movie and book response

             I feel that the movie Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit kind of confused me. For starters the had changed Jeanette's name to Jess. That made me have to think about who they were first talking about. The beginning of the movie also confused me with the whole everyone in the church was wearing masks and then you had Jess with no mask just screaming. The movie mainly focused on showing the realism while the book left certain things to the imagination. I feel that the whole taking the demon out of Jess part with them tying her up was pretty disturbing. It bothered me that they could not accept her choice in gender to have as a partner. I would prefer to stick to the book. But in a way the movie did help me understand certain concepts of what the author wanted the readers to know.
