Pl 20 points in a short essay of 2-3 well-developed paragraphs, compare and contrast reading the story with watching the video.

first, evaluate the choice of costumes, set, and actors in the film compared with the text version. why did the director make the choices he did, and what effect did they have on the story, plot, theme, and/or viewing experience?

then, explain how the video changed or deepened your understanding of the story and its theme. use specific evidence from the text of the story, as well as the video, to support your ideas and observations. (make sure you explain specifically what the theme of the story is, too! )

(quick note: the story it is asking about is called "the lottery" by shirley jackson)

The difference between the film and the book is the setting and atmosphere the director presents in the film. The setting is made as simple and realistic as possible to make, the atmosphere suspenseful. The director used foreshadowing by filming Tess Hutchinson's nervous, smiling face. The movie’s more defined because we see the serious and nerves faces of the town’s folk.  

The film and the short story are very similar. Both are very bone chillingly suspenseful, and both moods are dark and morbid. The scene were the children were gathering rocks was foreshadowing the heart-stopping scene that has yet to occur. Both film and story stayed true to this moment. The film did an astonishing job of creating the feel of tradition for this morbid act.

hope this helps! :)
