Your essay should explore how one aspect of Rock’s novel is (1) transformed (2) slightly altered (3) enhanced by visual medium (4) or omitted entirely in Granik’s film. Your claim, or thesis statement, should suggest the larger impact this choice in adaptation has in comparison with that of the novel. How does this change the themes or meaning of the narrative? How does it enhance or complicate the meaning of the novel? What effect do the changes have on the audience experience?

You should support your thesis statement through textual evidence from both the film and the novel and interpret the significance of each piece of textual evidence (much like we did in class) as it relates to your argument.

The essay should also include commentary on how the themes or ideas you explore relate to the world beyond the text(s) and may apply to human experience in general.
