The Iron Giant

I'm writing this blog on the story The Iron Giant because it teaches you about friendship and sacrifice. First I saw the movie then I read the book. When I was reading the book and watching The Iron Giant I felt like I was actually there in the movie and the story as a small boy named Hogarth. I felt like Hogarth because he reads science-fiction books, watches science-fiction movies, and is curiouse like me.



Iron Giant - the movie
In the movie The Iron Giant a robot crash lands on earth and makes friends with a boy named Hogarth Hughes. They become friends after Hogarth saves the giant from getting electricuted at the power plant. A government officer wants him captured and destroyed. He also wants to find out who sent the giant to earth. Hogarth after being friends with the Iron Giant thinks he is the luckiest kid in America. He protects the giant from anyone who wants to capture him by hiding him at a scrap yard.

The Iron Giant sacrifices himself to save the people of the town.

The book is diffrent from the movie. In the book Hogarth lures him in a trap because he was afraid of the Iron Giant. After he lures him in the trap he feels guilty because he feels sorry for the giant. The biggest difference between the movie and the book is that there is a monster in the book and the Iron Giant challenges him to a contest of strenth.
