English 12
- We started watching Stand by Me in class today--it's the film version of "The Body." You'll write about how effectively the film translates Stephen King's novella to film.
- Your homework tonight is to write a one-page reflection on what you've seen of the film so far. Some questions to consider:
- What do you think of the changes made from novella to film--we noticed some already!
- What do you think of the casting of the characters? Accurate?
- What are your thoughts regarding the "emotional core" of the film--is it capturing the "emotional core" of the novella?
