Critical Reflection At the beginning of the module my understanding of what adaptation meant was that you would take a work and recreate it in a different form. Adaptation, according to the traditional comparatitive model, is the process of adapting one original, culturally defined ‘standard whole’ in another medium,’ (Cardwell, 2002, p19). I believed the definition of adaptation to require a high level of fidelity to the source text. My opinion before the module was based on the adaptations in popular culture, mainly those of books being made into films. With Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films, there was definitely an expectation from the audience that the films would be like they imagined the books to be: that the director would be true to Tolkien’s novels. There is a commercial pressure for the director to stay as close to the original as possible, to ensure its success. Cardwell makes the distinction between genetic and cultural adaptation, saying that where genetic adaptation is linear, with each one being linked to the one before, whereas cultural adaptation always comes from the original source (2002). ‘Each subsequent adaptation is understood to hold a direct relationship with the culturally established original, (pg14). As I started to consider the source text I was going to use, several questions buzzed round my head. What did I want to adapt? What form would it take? How would I make it work in my chosen form? How could I please the audience? The Streets
3) You need to find a commonplace between you and your audience in order to begin trying to persuade the audience
Thus, I am worthy to aid others with their academic encounters (Walden University (2014c)). Similarly, in the second part of the test, I learned I have an aural learning style. Before week three, I never thought about this area. But it is true that when I listen to music while studying, I focus much better than studying in silence. The music also provides inspiration when I get tired or feel like I cannot finish an assignment (Walden University (2014 d)).Again, In the discussion this week, I learned, story’s, paintings, videos and music are all a kind of effective realism. And incorporating voices, video or descriptive words can alter how I envision a piece of work. Therefore, it is imperative to be eloquent with words. Hence, write so the reader can get the actual importance the author is trying to portray. Too, I learned that the plot of the story can be transformed exaggeratedly when technology is added.

When I read two essays, I honestly having a hard time consider to be the main thesis of each of the essays. The authors kept writing back and forth that lead me to confuse about the essays. In Maggie Paley's "Terry Southern: The Art of Screenwriting, by Interview", the author interviewed the screenwriter about his experiences. I believe the thesis will be: Terry Southern is a person who have an interesting past, wrote alot of plays, and had alot of experiences in the plays. I honestly can't find the right thesis because the author wrote everything unorganized, but I can see that he wrote alot of plays and told her that writing a book is different from writing a screenplay. He tolfd that he love movies and it is easy from him to write a screenplay.

When it comes to adapting an existing story, we must first look at what literary adaptation is. Literary adaptation, is the adapting of a storybook source, such as a novel, short story or poem, to another genre or medium such as a film, stage play, or video game. It can also involve adapting the same literary work in the same genre or medium, just for different purposes. For instance, maybe to work with a smaller cast, in a smaller setting, or even for a different demographic group, such as adjusting a story for children. This can also be appealing because it clearly works as a story and already has interesting characters, who are loved and known by many, and can be altered to fit culture, atmosphere, or complex issues. This is
