Purpose: To show how the changes made affect the story’s
plot, characters, and theme in significant ways

To begin the research process by preparing a bibliography
in Modern Language Association citation and
documentation format that consists of at least six
sources
■ 2 primary sources: the book and the film
■ 4 secondary sources: book and film reviews, critiques,
articles about the book and film, profiles of
the author and/or the director and actors that focus
on the content of the work.

Read the book and watch the film you’ve chosen to write
about.

Develop the content for your outline/graphic organizer
by freewriting about the changes you’ve noticed.

a. Are there scenes omitted or added? How does this
affect the sequence of events?

b. What is the central conflict of the book? The film?
How do the author and the director present the conflict?
Are the stakes higher in one or the other?

c. Is the main character’s personality different in the
film? How is it different? How does it affect the way
we understand his/her character?

d. Is the narrator of the story the same? Does any
element of the story change because we can’t be in
the narrator’s head at all times? How does this
change our understanding of the characters or the
story?

e. How is theme revealed throughout the book and the
film?

Now that you’ve compared and contrasted the book and
the film, freewrite on what the significance of these
changes are to help you develop your ideas for the thesis
statement.

The book and the film are your primary sources and
count as two sources in your bibliography and toward
the research requirement for your essay. Be sure that
you have carefully noted where you found them, either
online or in a physical copy/in print.

You’ll need a minimum of four other sources. These
sources can be reviews, articles, and interviews related
to the book and film.
