FUN ASSIGNMENT Due Tuesday, JULY 11, 2023:

You choose a book that has been made into a movie so that we can talk about them. Jot down differences between the book and movie. Choose your favorite story or a new inspiring one. Here are some examples to consider but don't be limited by this list:  

WAR ROOM, PRAYER IS A POWERFUL WEAPON by Chris Fabry
& movie -- WAR ROOM
 
THE BOOK THIEF by Markus Zusak
& movie --THE BOOK THIEF

THE ULTIMATE GIFT by Jim Stoval
& movie -- THE ULTIMATE GIFT

FATHER CHRISTMAS series by Robin Jones Gunn
& movie -- FATHER CHRISTMAS (Hallmark movie)

THE CHRISTMAS CANDLE by Max Lucado
& -- THE CHRISTMAS CANDLE

LEFT BEHIND series by Jerry Jenkins &
& movie -- LEFT BEHIND, RISE OF THE ANTICHRIST with Kevin Sorbo

LITTLE WOMEN by Louisa May Alcott
& movie -- LITTLE WOMEN  (Many choices.)

BEN HUR by Lew Wallace
& movie -- BEN HUR

SHERLOCK HOLMES by Arthur Conan Doyle (series)
& movies -- SHERLOCK HOLMES movies

THE QUIET MAN And Other Stories by Maurice Walsh
& movie -- THE QUIET MAN

ANNE OF GREEN GABLES by L.M. Montgomery  (series)
& movies -- ANNE OF GREEN GABLES movies

MURDER SHE WROTE by Donald Bain, Jon Land, &  Terry Farley Moran
& movies -- MURDER SHE WROTE (many)

There may be non-fiction book/movie combos, and if there are you can do that genre also. Wouldn't it be nice to see just what movie produces trim out of books to make fabulous movies out of the same idea. Would you like your novel made into a movie? Maybe this assignment will help you to write an attractive-to-movie-producer story or book!

Spring is in the air, and we are hoping for warmer weather so that we can enjoy flowers like this! But in the meantime--let's write!
