Field Of Dreams

.
             The out field wall was made out of the cornfield butting up against the outfield. The book gives a little more history on shoeless Joe Jackson then the movie. The book tells you that he was involved in throwing the 1919 World Series and that he had the best batting average of .375. There is more about how Ray's father talked statistics to his mothers belly while Ray was inside. That Ray's father would tell him story about Shoeless Joe Jackson and the Black Sox scandal. There is no trip that Ray takes to go found Terrence Mann and Moonlight Graham. The book is not based on Ray and his father fighting. Ray never got a chance to say he was sorry before he died. In the end Shoeless Joe Jackson asks Ray if he can fix up the field some so others form the 1919 World Series team can come back and play again. .
             Field of Dreams is a great film that takes Ray Kinsella on this great journey to find out more about himself and about his father. He and his father did not get along because Ray did not love baseball as much as his father. Ray Kinsella was called upon by forces left unknown to the viewers and him to go on both a physical journey as well as a journey of the heart. Ray continued to receive messages. After each new message, Ray was called upon to further his journey. This journey involved traveling to Boston and to the Midwest as well as facing issues within himself that he has successfully hidden from for years. Throughout his journey, Ray never once knew where the next piece to the puzzle was located. Only at the end of his journey was it at last made clear to him the purpose for his quest. When his father died Ray was overwhelmed with a sense of guilt and emptiness due to the fact that the horrible conflict with his father would never be resolved. Ray continuously felt that no one, including himself, knew what he was doing or where he was headed. At one point in the story Ray was going to give up his quest and go back home to Iowa.
