Dive into the world of literature and film in this engaging elective that explores the timeless question: Is the book better than the movie? In Hollywood Book Club, students will read popular novels and then watch their movie adaptations to analyze how stories are transformed from page to screen.
Through lively discussions, students will compare character development, themes, plot changes, and artistic choices. You’ll develop critical thinking and analytical skills while debating the strengths and weaknesses of each medium. Whether you’re a bookworm, a movie buff, or both, this class offers a unique way to explore storytelling and creativity.
By the end of the course, students will have a deeper appreciation for the art of adaptation and the ways in which books and movies complement or challenge each other. Get ready to read, watch, and decide for yourself!
