Day 2 in the life of Andy Dufresne and the Mind of Red

After reading my story for the second day I have noticed pretty recognizable differences in the movie and story of The Shawshank Redemption. Throughout the book the background characters or the non main characters often change throughout the story, but in the movie the characters are the same throughout the movie and are very important characters in the plot. This leaves me wondering why the director decided to keep these characters the same, and to change the way the plot works in the book. Otherwise to my surprise all the other events and characters are the exact same and are in the same order. I realize how much the director of the movie studied the story and wrote the screenplay to resemble the book, and I appreciate that. One thing that I am experiencing with reading the book is that something just doesn’t make sense. It's not the story that doesn't make sense but it's the way Stephen King worded it. This frustrates me because I feel as if I'm missing something and I don't like that. Also, Stephen King throughout the book has almost vulgar descriptions and I am left thinking, why? Why would you want to write that? Although, on the other hand I appreciate that because it's almost like his attitude is "it's my book, I can write it if I want, and if you don't like it then don't read it." This is one of the reasons I love Stephen King's work because he brings a sense of realness to his works and that's something else I appreciate. So far the book is great and I'm just about done. If the ending in the book is like the ending in the movie it's sure to be a win in my book.
