- Find a fictional story that has been told in two different media. Media could include: Novels, Short Stories, Poems, Opera/Music, Theater, Film, Ballet/Dance, Television, Graphic Fiction/Comic Books, Digital Games
FORBIDDEN: Great Gatsby, any stories aimed primarily at children (e.g., Cinderella, Frozen, Lion King, Cat in the Hat, etc.).
- Watch/read/listen to both versions of the story and make notes regarding the ways that they are different.
- Write an essay of 5-7 double-spaced pages (1100-1300 words) that addresses the important differences in the two versions of the story and connects them to the characteristics of the particular medium in which they are told. For example, what things can a film do that a novel cannot and how does it apply to this particular case?
