Books vs Movies, Tuesday first period

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

"Today's film is a bit long, so I'll, um, keep the chatter down and get to it," Jon announced.

He would absolutely be sleeping through it. Or zoning out at the least.

"Just remember to think about the differences from the book, how things translate - occasionally literally - and be prepared to discuss it after."


Before he lost track of things, he wrote the next week's assignment on the board: The Shawshank Redemption.

"I quite liked the changes," Jo replied "I found it a lot easier to follow along with the movie than the book," she admitted.

"Some people do find Tolkien's writing style more trouble than it's worth," Jon acknowledged. "There's certainly less of that to contend with in the movie."
