Well, there you have it: the last class of the summer semester. And what a great class it was! We went around the room and each student talked about his or her final paper for a few minutes. Either they'd given the matter a lot of thought or they were amazingly adept at improvising. It was so interesting to hear what they had to say about the films and books they'd chosen as their topics, about what they'd learned in the course of writing their papers, and about what they'd learned concerning the adaptation process specifically. More than one student said that he or she had begun the semester assuming that the literary source is always better than the film adapted from it and now realized that sometimes the movie is better. I'm going to miss these students.
