A study of how fiction is adapted to film. The class focuses on developing clear thinking, organization, and reasoning in response to something about which we rarely analyze extensively: the movies. More importantly, we will examine also just as thoroughly the original sources of these films-short fiction, novels, and plays. As a foundation for analysis, students will develop a vocabulary for discussing film and integrate it into their discussion of how the two genres are related. Some use of library research materials is required.
