I saw the first part of the film in class. (Mosquito...something) We have been reading the Poisonwood Bible (PWB) in class which is similar to the plot of the film we watched.
The two stories had a few things in common. One was that the family took off and lived in some "in the middle of nowhere" African country. They didn't have much resources, and lived harshly. Although what I noticed was that in the film, the family worked and pretty much built their own little town. Their house was almost like a log cabin while in PWB they haven't upgraded from their mud-hut. Something different I noticed between the two was that the moral and attitudes toward the whole thing was exactly opposite. In PWB, they really lived harshly and dreaded everything, when it seemed like the family in mosquito ridge made the best out of the situation. I think that the story lines veer off in different directions as the two stories continue on, but the general idea is quite similar.
