Q1- Do you think changing the characters make the adaptation better or worse?
Q2- How do you think the profit of the movie change after the adaptation?

1)Name an example where there is "a sense of superiority which is conceived in various ways via the Extended Identity" that the author didn't list.

2) Can you think of any examples where an adaptation was unfaithful to the essence or core values of the original?
In response to Leemor's first question: Some aspects of an Book can and will be changed in order for a movie to reach out to a broader audience, but the overall message must be maintained in order for the original audience to discover the continuity. Some aspects of a movie will subsequently be sacrificed when being adapted into a book, however, greater detail will be needed in order to make up for the lack of…
