Crazy rantings of a crazy girl

Last semester I took a literature and Film class at Pima community college. It was one of the best writing classes I have ever taken. We read The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the wardrobe, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s stone, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Frankenstein and Dracula and compared them to the movies. It was fun to look at the different ways directors turned the book into a movie. One of the fields I am looking at going into is the Film industry and when I read a good book I always think “how could this be turned into a movie?” It was a little annoying in the class because there were so many people saying “This was missing or different!” In some cases I could see it was important but for the most part a book can’t be translated directly into a movie. There are a lot of things that wouldn’t work. We had many debates in that class and I cherished crushing my opponents with my infallible logic! Anyways For the final we had to write a comparison and contrast essay about one book and a film adaptation. I chose to do Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. I chose to do the forbidden Forest Scene. I think I brought up a lot of good points and it was a fun essay to write.
