Differences and Likenesses'' Because of Winn-Dixie''

There are many Likenesses between the Movie and the Book but there also differences. Winn-Dixie catches a mouse in the Church, but he does not kill it. Otis let animals out of the cages then he played his guitar to keep them from running around the pet store. Although the Dewberry boys called Gloria Dump a witch, they discovered she was a very kind person. Glori Dump was a blind women but, she say with her heart.

There was neither a police man or a Landlord. They thought Winn-Dixie was lost but he was under Gloria Dumps bed. Winn-Dixie didn't bite, but he bite the policemen in the movie. Winn-Dixie had bald patches in his hair.

In the Movie, the Policemen were in the store and everywhere. His Character in the book. In addition, the Landlord character wasn't in the book either. In the movie Winn-Dixie walked in the door after he was lost but in the book he never left Gloria Dumps bed.

I really enjoyed both the Book and the Movie.
