1045: Senior Seminar CP ��� From Literature to Film: The Art of Adaptation* 5 credits per semester Prerequisite: Successful completion of CP English III Grade level: 12th ENGLISH We���ve all heard the same clich�� ��� that the ���book was better than the film.��� Why is this so? What makes literature so much more compelling on the printed page? Why do so many film adaptations fail? In this class, students will examine various forms of literature and decide how well each has been adapted ��� as well as look at the adaptation process itself. When an adaptation succeeds, students will be able to decide where and how it is successful. Also, students will be able to understand how, in comparing original works to their adaptations, they can learn to view films as literary texts, and to look at literature with a cinematic eye. 9 WWW.FAIRMONTSCHOOLS.COM
