faithfulness to What?
When books are translated into a different language a translator will face many problems in doing this. The translator has to tank in effect the slang language for that particular language and also abbreveations for words. Different languages in the world have different slang language and different short term words for example has'nt is a short term word for has not, and other languages do not use short term language a'lot they use the whole word. In the book of the great gatsby i think that the movie did a better job at showing the first big party at gatsbys house than the book did at showing the party. I say this because the book didn't describe the electric atmosphere that the movie did show and the book also did not show the whole party as a whole while the movie did. Overall i think that the movie is better than the book.

Stephen King the Shining sequel
In the article about Stephen Kings new book about the Shining sequel, Stephen king talks about being nervous on how the critics will critique his new book. The first part of the series was published when
he was 28, now he is 65. King is nervous about his new book because he is putting horror into his book and he has never really done that before. King said that he wants to make a more adult version of the book because over time as the book has gotten older so has the original audience of the previous book. King wants the audience to fall in love with the characters and be scared when the characters become scared. King has published over 50 novels over his time and admits the critics are kinder to him then we he started his career nearly 50 years ago.

Hi my name is keenan, i am a junior at Olathe Northwest highschool. This blog wiil be about my career in E-comm video. I learn about modern day film techniques and use software on macs to learn how to edit films we have made. There are five main strands in E-comm Video, Web Design, Graphic Design, and Animation. I chose video because video is part of our daily lives even if we dont even know it. I think video is very fun and it teaches me alot of interesting things.
Adaption or Translation
I think a book is usually better than a movie, but i have seen movies that are better than the book. I have seen more movies than books read but the book that i think is better than the movie is the hunger games. I think this because i think that the book was well written and that the movie was rushed and did not go in depth to the characters and rushed to the games. The hunger games itself i think was well filmed but the movie did not include enough background information. The book did include all the things the book did not, it included everything before the fighting and was well written. Another book that i think is better is the Hobbit. I read this about two years ago and i have read it twice since. I think that the movie was way better than the book because i think that it is hard for books to describe intense fighting scenes making the book sound confusing and sometimes the reader can get lost in the book. In the movie though the fighting scenes were a lot better and more intense and in to it than the book. However the book did go into the characters thought and feelings more than the movie. So overall i think that books are usually better than movies.
