Eragon: Beginnings

I just started reading Eragon and I can't say much about it but so far so good. The thing is even though I just started I am already started comparing it to the movie. When my brother was saying that in the movie they got all wrong , he wasn't joking. They totally got it wrong in the movie. Like I said though I haven't gotten that far in the book. I have noticed some things about Eragon's family and life situation too.
          Some of the things that the movie messed up was picking the right actors for some of the parts. Sloan who owns the meat shop was described as a short, small man. In the movie the guy was tall and fat. Eragon's family seems to really be poor based on what he ate for dinner and breakfast. He ate bread and cheese for dinner and porridge for dinner. He can't afford his own meat from the meat shop so he has to go hunt for it. He also said that if they didn't get meat for the winter they would starve.
       Usually when I hear about getting something before something these days, It usually is you have to get food before a big storm comes. In the book They have to get meat before winter. When I hear that, I usually hear it from farmers so I am guessing that they are farmers. Eragon didn't catch  any meat so I think he would do anything so that his family doesn't starve to death. I wonder what he will do?
