Me Before You is a movie and a book. The book was written by Jojo Moyes. This is a great book and movie telling you that you should never take life for granted. When you can, go do as much as you can because you never know when something might happen to you that you can’t do what you used to be able to do. Something you have could be gone in the blink of an eye. Cherish everything you have while you still have it. Don’t ever take anything for granted.
The book and movie is based on this guy named William Traynor who used to be a very active guy that had everything he could ever dream of. One morning when he never even expected it, he lost everything. He pushed people away. In the book Will’s sister comes and visits him and gets really upset with how selfish Will is.
In the book Will’s sister shows up, but she is not in the movie. In the book Treena, Louisa’s sister, is way more selfish than she is in the book. In the movie Louisa and Patrick don’t have as long as a relationship than they do in the book. In the book Steven Traynor, Will’s dad, has an affair, but he doesn’t in the movie. In the book Louisa moves in with the Traynors. Louisa in the book tries to find the perfect holiday on the internet and she tries to find help from a few quadriplegic chat groups, which helps her understand where Will is coming from. In the movie the maze isn’t brought up. In the book Louisa gets lost in the castle’s maze; she avoids it but Will makes her go in and she gets a bunch of flashbacks and broke down telling Will how she was raped there when she was younger. In the book Louisa tells Will that she loves him, but she doesn’t in the movie. In the book Patrick plans on telling the press about Will’s plan to go through with an assisted suicide, but he doesn’t in the movie. In the book they go and get tattoos, but in the movie they don’t. The book takes place in the United Kingdom and the movie takes place in the United States.
The main characters are Louisa Clark, William Traynor, Camilla Traynor, Steven Traynor, Katrina Clark, Patrick, Nathan, Alicia Dewares, Georgina Traynor (only in the book), Rupert Freshwell, Frank, and Thomas.
This is one of my favorite books and movies. It has so much meaning to it. Always do your best and have fun because you never know when you can lose everything. You don’t know when something might come up or something might happen, so just keep living life happily and try to make the best of whatever it is. Try to be a good friend to someone who is in need and keep them and yourself always happy.
