The Quiet Man The loudest quiet man around. Both in the movie and the story Shawn Thorton/Kelvin is a boxer from America who returns to his home town in Ireland, but thats about the only major similarity between the movie and the book. In the story and movie some of the differances are that Shawns home town is different, the people are different, in more way than one, all in all a different story …showed first 75 words of 481 total…

…showed last 75 words of 481 total…but a little is majorly altered by the changes. It is still Shawn marring a red headed spinster and not getting her rightful dowry untill he is ready to fight for it, in a huge climatic fight scean that made the movie well worth reading. So if you want to know more of the difference between the two, read the story and watch the movie, it's well worth the time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography** They Quiet Man
