White fang comparing book and movie

Movie
-Less information about White Fang's childhood
-Main character was a human, not the dog
-White Fang did not go to San Fransisco
-Shorter and less scenes
-Added some scenes
-Gets sold/taken to different owners by different ways
-Different ending
-Slight/totally different characters

Book
-More descriptive
-Longer
-Story line is different


Same
-Has a dog named White Fang
-Gets three different owners
-Born in the wild
-About dog and humans

If I were to compare the book and the movie, I would say they are two different stores. The main character is suppose to be a wolf-dog named White Fang. But in the movie, instead of the dog, the main character is a fat American guy that comes along looking the gold. I prefer the book over the movie. Some scenes in he movie was switched and added, making parts of the movie to be confusing and dull. But the book also have flaws, the author tends to get over descriptive. Just the fact that the main character is different in the movie than in the book, the story can be changed alot. Basically almost all of the story line and ending was affected by this. The history of the dog White Fang was changed as well. Instead of being born from a hole that suddenly appeared in the ground, White Fang was suppose to be born in a cave in the wold. Different characters appear and die which can make me sometimes think "What happened to ......"
