Comparison of the book and the movie

After we finished reading the book Pobby and Dingan, we watched the movie of it in English class. It takes two classes to finish it, it's not that long but still has everything in the book. As we all know, in general the movie for  the book is just a kind of more emotional summary of book, but in this movie is a little bit different. When we have finished the movie, we noticed there are something really different from the book. Actually, not only about some details are different, the whole style to tell the story is totally different. When we read the book, we can feel like this a kind of book with a sad story, everything is bad turns to hopeless in the end. But in the movie, we can feel more about the kindness in humanity. Every characters bring more good feeling from movie. Ashmol's father is a kind, polite and caring about family, he doesn't get drunk anymore in the movie, which is totally different from the book Pobby and Dingan. Our main character Ashmol, he's not noisy at all. Oppositely, he cares more about his family and his poor sister Kellyanne. He is a brave, confident boy. He is not afraid to talk in front of a lot of people. Everyone expect for the Old Sid has a really warm, kind inside. They bring their kindness to the Willamson's, and spread that kind of emotion to the whole society. About the ending, I think the director just wants to make it a kind of happier ending, and be more confused. He doesn't choose to tell us about Kellyanne directly, but for the people who hasn't read the book then watched the movie, they are not going to believe Kellyanne is going to die. According to these points, I like the movie more. The kindness and goodness in humanity are always the best topic and stuff that we need to find and discover.
