Adaptation

@Even though Jean Anouilh has the same plot and characters as the original Antigone, he has written the story for his time with a different meaning. Anouilh’s adaptation does not follow the same fate or religion shown in Sophocles’ version. I will be discussing the differences between these two stories starting with the chorus, the dialogue between characters, and the personalities of the characters themselves. @The first major difference a reader can see right away between Sophocles and…

in 1939, the general adaptation syndrome represents a three-stage reaction to stress. Selye explained his choice of terminology as follows: "I call this syndrome general because it is produced only by agents which have a general effect upon large portions of the body. I call it adaptive because it stimulates defense…. I call it a syndrome because its individual manifestations are coordinated and even partly dependent upon each other." Selye thought that the general adaptation syndrome involved…

Red Panda or the scientific name of Ailurus fulgens a member of the Ailuridae family. They have the appearance being slightly large then a domestic house cat having a bear-like body with thick red fur. There belly and limbs are black, and there are white markings on the side of the head and above its small eyes. People should care about this beautiful animal for the reason it has a vulnerable status on the endangered species list. The studies that have done on red pandas genetic variation, the…

Consequently, the birth order one claims for oneself – taking into account all of Leman’s variables noted earlier – may enhance one’s natural cognitive strengths or weaknesses. Referencing the earlier adaption-innovation (A-I) theory of Kirton, one study founded its premise on his assertion “that people differ characteristically in cognitive style, that is, in their preferred approaches to change and problem solution. Adaptors thrive on structure (procedures, rules, guidelines), which enables…

This classic film is particularly notable today for combining suspense and humor, and many of Hitchcock’s other trademarks as it inspired many remakes and adaptations. The thriller starring Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll and Peggy Ashcroft is loosely based on the 1915 novel of the same title written by John Buchan. This quickly paced adaptation follows Richard Hannay (Robert Donat) as he goes through one dangerous adventure after another in the charming company of his romantic counterpart,…

Growing up, I had never heard of individuals who have passed essentially giving living human beings their organs. It was not until I saw the film adaptation, Seven Pounds, starring Will Smith that I finally grasped just what donating organs was all about. Following the release of that movie, I immediately wanted to become an organ and tissue donor. I believe that everyone should desire to be one because organs of those who have passed help save lives each and every day. Upon receiving this essay…

General Adaptation Syndrome The body has its way of responding to external reactions. It can be through adapting or preparing to respond to a situation effectively. General adaption syndrome refers to a collection of these responses. In the event of a dangerous situation, the body is altered by the side effects of stress; therefore, responding to restore balance. Han Selye was the first scientist to discover these side effects and identified them as stress (Cooper, 2017). He further…

The five modes of adaptation form Merton Classical Strain Theory are conformity, innovation, ritualism, retreatism and rebellion. Conformity means the person is accepting their means and goals. This is the most common of adaptation, the system is set up for your success. Only the person fault if they fail to succeed. Innovation accepts goals but find new means. They are the most likely to be criminals. Wants the same success and rewards as the conformist but uses illegal activities to obtain it.…

say in any matter, but he was a fair ‘judge’ in the play and gave Hermia options when he was told to decide her death or force her to marry. Theseus had some incredible insight that was brushed over and not given the proper importance in the film adaptation, such as when explaining to Hermia her limited choices at the beginning of the play: “Therefore, fair Hermia, question your desires; Know of your youth, examine well your blood, Whether, if you yield not to your father's choice, You can…

Our class adaptation of Crime and Punishment was to be set during the 1800s in Russia - a time and setting which the writers of the play wanted to come through to the audience. Yet, relying solely on the script was not enough to give the desired effect. In professional theatre, sound is usually a good signifier for not the surrounding, but when it comes to a specific location background music will not do it - accents are necessary. Thankfully, as a class we silently agreed to not have a group…
