At the heart of this piece, which was written specifically for reluctant readers, is an interesting discussion about what happens to an art piece (in this instance, a book) when it is translated into another medium (a movie). Asking students who read this piece to wrestle with the pros and cons of this kind of translation may lead to a great philosophic discussion about art in culture, the film production business in general, or the merits or reading something as opposed to trying to experience it in the theater.
