You will write a four to five page essay (excluding Works Cited) explaining which parts of the story would be easy to adapt and which would resist translation. You should also touch upon some of the social, economic, technical, or spectatorial challenges a filmmaker might encounter in adapting the text. Your submission will be a well-thought out and well-organized essay which is properly formatted. Be sure to include a thesis in the introduction and develop that thesis throughout the bulk of your essay. Use appropriate movie titles (including year) to support your thesis. Avoid all uses of Wikipedia (or any encyclopedia or dictionary) and reference guides like SparkNotes. Be careful that you do not cut and paste a paper of information from various sources. You may not use previously submitted material (i.e., self-plagiarism, also called double dipping); your ideas are to be new and freshly constructed. Also, take great care not to plagiarize; if in doubt, cite the source. Attachments should be in .doc or .rtf format. Please add a “Works Cited” page and include any sources you use to complete this assignment. Remember, this is not an expository essay (that is, not a plot summary, not a biography of the author, and so on).
