  11. SUMMARY OF GODFATHER • Late in 1945, army veteran Michael Corleone brings his finance Kay Adams to meet his family on his sister's wedding day. His family, however, is a little different from most families. His father is Don Vito Corleone, a powerful Mafia boss known as "the Godfather." His brothers Sonny and Fredo are soldiers in the organization and Sonny is the most feared enforcer in New York. His adopted brother Tom Hagen is the lawyer who handles the financial details of the family business. Scattered around the wedding reception are such luminaries as legendary hit man Luca Brasi, world-famous singer Johnny Fontane, and Mafia captain Dominic Clemenza.

  12. In the midst of the resultant gang-war, "college-boy" Michael volunteers to kill Sollozzo and Captain McCluskey, his police protection. Meeting with the two in a small restaurant, Michael slays them both with a hidden pistol. While Michael heads to exile in Sicily, Sonny continues the gang-war, now battling both the other five New York families and the police.

  13. When the Don is finally felled by a heart attack and Fredo is sent to consolidate the family's power in Las Vegas, Michael is called upon to take control of the family business and take revenge on his enemies." When Sonny dies in a hail of gunfire, Don Vito returns from his convalescence to forge a new peace with the other families and even manages to arrange for someone else to be convicted of the murders Michael committed, allowing his youngest son to come home.

  14. SIMILLARIES THINGS • Movie and book include same subject,time,place and charactersanalysises. • A similar example between the book and movie versions of the scene in which Michael's slaves gather around him in obeisance, a tribute to his new status as Corleone family head.

  15. DIFFERENCES The book features long and boring sections on singer Johnny Fontaine, a more minor character in the films. In the book, and in a deleted scene from II, Michael has the Sicilian bodyguard whose betrayal led to the death of his Italian bride, Apollonia, tracked down in America and killed.

  16. Mama Corleone, a minor presence in the films, gets a bit more attention in the book, though not much. However, one interesting aspect is that she has disrespects behaviors to Vito when he's not around.

  17. Albert Neri,Michael's number one henchman and a shadowy figure in both I and II, is fleshed out in the book.

  18. The Godfather has always been accused of romanticizing the Mafia,but in this area the film doesn't even come close to the novel.
