Regardless of which you prefer, today we’re going to to be comparing the well known, 2005, book Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close to its 2011 movie adaptation. Often when you compare how long it takes to read a book versus a movie, the times are vastly different. The movie ends up having a happier ending than the book. But, by the end of the movie, Oskar finds the end of a riddle his father left for him. We don’t really see much of the grandma in the movie, though. Also, his mom knew about this plan the whole time and had a book and map and planned out and called everywhere Oskar went. He has a talk with this owner but, by the end, ends up flipping out and missing his dad more than ever.
By the end of this book, Oskar find who the key belongs to and realizes it has nothing to do with him. He doesn’t really get close to anyone in his search, though. Once Oskar finds the envelope, he asks his grandpa, who he still doesn’t know is his grandpa, to come with him to figure out who, with the last name Black, that this key belongs to. He instead thinks he’s “the renter” at his grandma’s apartment. Like the book, Oskar meets his grandpa and doesn’t know he’s his grandpa. During this movie, Oskar dad also dies in 9/11. The movie Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close is a less detailed movie, that would probably be confusing for people if they hadn’t read the book. Oskar was thinking about how they would all be safe if he just never left the house that day. At the end of this book, it goes backwards from the moment the dad was in the Twin Towers to when he was safe at home. Oskar also figures out his mother knew what he was doing the whole time and just let him go. Lastly, this book ended with Oskar finding who the key belonged to and learning that the key was completely irrelevant to his dad. Oskar is also close to the grandma in the book. They all used to live in Dresden and there is a lot of history there. Nevertheless, we learn a lot of background information about the grandparents and the grandma’s sister, Anna. Unfortunately, his grandpa doesn’t really do much with him. However, he at first doesn’t know that he is his grandpa. During this book Oskar also meets his grandpa. He meets many people with the last name Black throughout this book and he gets very close to them. He goes from door to door to everyone with the last name Black in New York City trying to figure out whose key it is. This book is about how Oskar finds a key in an envelope with the last name “Black” written on it. The book Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close is a very detailed book about a boy named Oskar whose father died in 9/11. Attention: Contains Spoilers Book – Summary
