In comparison to the film, I felt like the book and the film took completely different directions with the story line. His initial goal in the book is to earn enough money to buy an animal to take care for as suggested since animals are going extinct. Through his hardships feeling bad for killing the androids, he eventually learns to love the toad even if it wasn’t real, because it still has a conscious. However, the movie and the book are similar in the fact that in the film, Deckard never kills Rachael, and in the book, Deckard chooses to accept the fact that the frog was not real. It was the fact that Deckard accepted the way things are made things real.
