Libby Morrell's EPQ

I have completed my Little Women case study, following the guidelines I set out. I was able to learn about how accurate the casting was to the original characters, how famous dialogues from the novel were included in the movie, and other relevant comparative factors. This case study was very useful into seeing how some film adaptations don't ruin literature as Little Women has been very successful. Particularly the 2019 adaptation by Greta Gerwig which received extremely high ratings.  I have started discussing which series I want to evaluate for my second case study. The top choice so far is The Handmaid's Tale as there is so many things I can discuss, including its impact on contemporary society. I want to finish this by the middle of November so I can start my Harry Potter case study which I plan to spend a bit more time on due to the size of the franchise.  My time management has remained good up to now, I have stuck to most of my deadlines and managed to update on a regul...

One interesting alternative way companies sometimes choose to turn literature into video is by creating a series. Often, TV series are able to have more detail and not cut out things that wouldn't be able to fit into a two hour film. It allows more time for character development, extended tension and dramatization and also for other side characters to have their plots alongside the protagonists.  4 Books to Series that I have thought about reviewing:  Bridgerton - Netflix Series released in 2020 Originated from a set of 9 books written by Julia Quinn The Handmaid's Tale - Series released in 2017 The Handmaid's Tale novel was originally written by Margaret Atwood, published in 1985 Shadow and Bone - Netflix Series released in 2021 Came from 3 books making up the Grisha Triology written by Leigh Bardugo    Normal People - Series released on BBC 3 in 2020 Came from the Normal People Novel written by Sally Rooney published in 2018 Turning books into TV shows seems to be ...

 Resources used in my Little Women research:  https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2019/12/greta-gerwigs-little-women-finally-gives-amy-her-due/603886/ What I learned from it: I learned about Gerwig's opinions of the characters and how she wanted them to be portrayed on screen. I gaged her interpretation of the original novel and how she would replicate this as a modern day film piece.  Why was it published?: It was published to tell the public about what happened in an interview between the director of Little Women - Greta Gerwig - and an Atlantic newspaper interviewer. It was used to make comparisons between other interpretations of Little Women films and how Gerwig diverted from those previous films.  How reliable is it?: The Atlantic newspaper is an American magazine originally based on literature and culture. I would say it is reliable because its purpose is to inform the reader of the intentions of the director. It is unlikely they would try to mi...
