Discussion Topics

Adaptation

Discussion topics for 6/4/12:
1) Is the humor in the movie version of Bringing Up Baby different from the humor in the short story?
2) The story has one big cat (a panther) in it while the movie has two big cats (leopards). Do you see any significance to the different numbers? To the different species?
3) How would you describe the relationship between David and Suzan in the story? Between David and Susan in the movie?
4) Which version do you personally like better?

Continuing readings:
1) Bringing Up Baby: Find three passages in the story that stand out.
2) A Room With a View: Find three passages in the novel that tell us something important about a character or characters.
3) Stage to Lordsburg: Pay close attention to who the characters are.
