It seems as if Stephen King is having more and more of his stuff getting adaptations. We first saw the new trailer for IT a few weeks ago, but it's the trailer for The Dark Tower that fans have been itching for. It's on the list books that will be too difficult to produce since the entire series of books is over 4,000 pages long, but Hollywood managed to realize that people want a huge franchise again.

How far is too far? Tom Sawyer felt lonely, unwanted, and irrelevant. Because of his feelings he persuaded his friends, Joe and Huck, to join him in running away to become sailors for a few days, without telling any authorities. Tom's mischievous plan started as a light-hearted joke, but as time wore on the whole town was consumed with fear. The boys received praise from the kids in town when they finally returned, but caused their guardians a great amount of heat ache. Everyone agrees that Tom constantly performed naughty actions and rebelled against any rules that were set before him. But some believe running away without telling anyone was perfectly unacceptable. I feel that Tom should not have run away to become a sailor because

Some might argue that there is no reason to retell such horrors that took place during the Holocaust to children, or that the Holocaust did not take place, so what is the point in teaching it? The Holocaust did in fact happen, and it happened not long ago. Some people can not see this as fathomable, but it is possible that if we do not tell posterity of these horrors, they could very well happen again. The book Night written by Elie Wiesel paints a dark and very real depiction of the Holocaust. It recounts the time the author spent in Auschwitz and how the experience affected him. There are a number of reasons why the Holocaust should be studied in schools, including how recently the Holocaust took place, the possibility that something similar
Holden Caulfield had finally decided to leave Pencey after being expelled for three days. When taking an interview with him, he said, “When I was all set to go, when I had my bags and all, I stood for a while next to the stairs and took a last look down the goddam corridor. I was sort of crying. I don’t know why” (52). Before Holden actually left, Holden yelled at the top of his lungs, “Sleep tight, ya morons” (52). Holden left Pencey sometime after curfew.

When you see yourself living out your dream, the thought of what you're most passionate about pulls you in. Passions in one's life change based on what had affected that person. Dreams are defined to change. However, the benefits of these thoughts is that they belong to you and only you. Not one person's opinions matter but your own. Chris McCandless simply was living out his own ideal life, the way he wanted; not to the idea of his parents, his friends or of society. McCandless wanted to escape society and civilization which he felt was tying him down, while also trying to discover himself. McCandless is not by any means a wacko. He was simply defying society and its ideal expectation it holds upon us as a whole.

The Arabian Nights is renowned for its multiple uses of enframed narratives. The layering of stories adds new meaning to the various tales of The Arabian Nights by bringing up new questions. In every story one reads, one finds themselves asking why Shahrazad would tell such a story, what kind of message is this tale giving Shahriar, and why bother telling another story within an already enframed story. However, The Arabian Nights is not alone in its use of the enframed story. Works inspired by The Arabian Nights use their own enframing devices in order to alter how one perceives and understands the stories these offshoots have taken from The Arabian Nights. The adaptations this paper will look at include Disney’s Aladdin film, Pasolini’s Arabian
