Viewers who adhere to the “fidelity” model of adaptation (that is, that the movie must recreate the book exactly) sometimes dismiss a film adaptation as an inferior copy, but some film scholars encourage us to reject the fidelity model. Read Chris Van Allsburg’s Jumanji (a children’s classic) and watch Robin Williams’s Jumanji (an adaptation some dismiss as unfaithful to the original). Then, consider how Robin Williams’s version succeeds on its own terms. How does it enhance or reimagine the prior version in inventive ways? Please be specific, rather than thinking only in generalities.

The paper will give you the opportunity to examine the literature’s engagement with everyday life and or societal issues. Select a text that we have discussed in class (or another with my approval) and, in 4-5 pages, analyze what an assigned text “says about” a particular social issue or concern. You will focus on plot and thematic analysis, characters and historical context (if applicable) to prove your main point. The essay must present a central argument and provide persuasive textual evidence to support and highlight claims, should acknowledge the limits of the analysis and position your arguments in relation to alternative views, and should conclude with a discussion of the cultural significance of the argument. Your essay must include at least three research sources (in addition to the text you are analyzing) – Follow MLA or APA Format –
The ideal essay would include a little bit about the author, analyze the plot and characters and themes, and tie it in as to how it can be used in a specific career or be applied to a cultural or societal issue.
All written work should adhere to the following format guidelines:
All papers and written assignments must be typed and double-spaced on a computer in 12 point type and standard font.
Leave one-inch margins all around.
All papers should be creatively titled.  Compose a title that both reflects your thesis and makes your reader want to read further.
Cite at least three researched sources (in addition to your story(ies)

Your Essay must use Microsoft Word  (I can not open pages or other formats)  – if you need help saving  in word contact me. 

We are concluding our study of the novel. What do think of long fiction in general, of Gatsby in particular? How is it different from short fiction, poetry, and drama? What are some of its strengths? What are some of the elements of long fiction you enjoy? How do they work together to bring about its theme? Please discuss your understanding of Gatsby in terms of its theme, characters, and literary merits. You may compare it to the movie version shown.
You should not just list answers to these question in bullet points fashion. Instead, organize your thoughts into a short essay format of several paragraphs, with a thesis statement, topic sentences, and ample details to support your conclusions. Your personal observations and experiences are far more valuable than generic remarks. 
Your post need to be at least 500 words in 19 point font. Please post it in Assignment.
