THIRTEEN vs. ADRIAN MOLE

Thirteen it's a film that shows some problems that the teenagers can have if they go with bad companies.

Also, that it's very important for a family to be a unit, and that this teenager or the teenagers have to have their space, and the parents have to accept this. That their sons are not a child anymore, and are pre-adults.

The book of Adrian Mole in my opinion it's light if you compare it with the film. Maybe I have this impression because the film have visual scenes, and the book only have the text.

The book of Adrian Mole it's shorter, and he's not becoming a bad boy in the book. He is only having bad times, and bad house situation. And in the film of Thirteen the girl, has a bad house situation, but also she takes drugs, and her conscience become bad.

The film I think that it's better for a lot of things. Some of them are that the film has images and subtitles in spanish, and it's easier to understand, and the book only has the vocabulary, but the language is easier than the language of the film.

The film, had a profund impact in me, because it shows you the extrem puverty that the people can suffer, and a little of all the risks of the bad companies, and the book of Adrian Mole is more specific.
