Johnny Tremain Movie Compare and Contrast Response
One similarity between the movie and the book is that, in both stories the Boston Tea Party is present. Another similarity is that Rab goes to Lexington to fight. Another similarity is that Cilla comes to court and tells her tale of Johnny showing her his cup. The last similarity I can think of is when Johnny meets Rab and eats cheese and bread. One difference between them is that in the book Johnny doesn’t go to fight with Rab, unlike the movie. Another difference is that Issanah, Dove, and Dusty haven’t been shown in the film. Another difference is that Rab is supposed to buy his gun from a farmer and get caught. Another thing is that when he goes to Mr. Lyte with his cup after the whole court incident, Johnny was supposed to go to him to sell his cup, not as an invitation by Mr. Lyte. Another difference is that he is supposed to make friends with a British general called Lieutenant Stranger and he was supposed to sell Goblin to this other general.
