Compare and Contrast: Movies vs. Books

The purpose of my paper is to argue that books are better than movies. This is going to be a compare and contrast essay and is going to fit in the argumentative category. I choose to compare these two because I hear a lot of people complain about how the movies are never as good as the books they are based of off. I Also agree with that statement and I wanted to compare and contrast the aspects that make that statement true.
