turn on the television, find a channel that I like, and watch what's on. It doesn't take as much mental concentration as it does to read a novel then it does to watch a movie. Does that possibly mean that you learn more when you read?
             I have two examples to try and find out if that question is true or not. The two examples are the relations between the book and the movie of "Snow Falling on Cedars", and the other is "The Perfect Storm".

WWII is most definitely when we move the Japanese Americans out of their homes and into concentration camps. A white local boy named Ishmael and a Japanese girl named Hatsue to fall in love without letting either of their family's know about their relationship. But when the Americans take Hatsue and her family from home Ishmael can't stand being away from his love, and he writes a letter to Hatsue and her mother finds it. When Hatsue's mother finds out she bands Hatsue from seeing Ishmael, and Hatsue begins to realize that it their relationship would never work out. Even though their relationship ends, they still always think about each other, especially Ishmael who will always love Hatsue.
             Ishmael and Hatsue's relationship is explained in a good portion of the book. And whenever their relationship is...
