Adaptation

The goal of this lesson was to describe how beneficial variations called adaptations influence an organism’s survival. I learned that animals adapt to survive an specific environment. I know this because, we did an activity where we had a spoon, a binder clip, tweezers, and a scissor to represent a bird’s peak and to see how each of these materials help to pick up paper clips, rubber bands, toothpicks, and macaronis which represented food. Each material was good at picking up food. For example,…

The adaptation of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge done by Twlight zone is more thrilling than from the original source by Ambrose. The very first difference was the way to tell you about the order by the union army that caused our protagonist, Peyton Farquhar, to be captured and hanged. In the text we are briefly told about the order not to destroy any of the Union's train tracks but in the film it is clearly shown in the first scene. This little alteration already takes away from the thrill…

The Adaptation of the Middle East, Asia, and Africa to the Divided World of the Cold War From 1945 to 1962 the number of nations on Earth quadrupled to around 200.

18/17 Lord of the Flies 1963 Film Adaptation vs 1990 Film Adaptation Lord of the Flies, with its important moral, that there is a beast inside everyone, has received two film adaptations; one in 1964 and one in 1990. Although the 1963 film adaptation does not stray away from the original plot, the 1990 film adaptation does a better job at portraying the novel’s moral. For instance, the way in which the characters are represented and develop in the 1990 film adaptation is more closely tied with…

of slavery, “Gone with the wind” gives a questionable opinion on slavery presenting a society “of Master[s] and of slave[s]” as a wonderland, and even adds a nostalgic tone while describing the fall of this civilization. Of course the movie is an adaptation of the novel written by Margaret Mitchell who understood and shared to some extent the vision of the confederacy: she was told by a family that witnessed the civil war from the confederate side how “amazing” the old South used to be. We could…

The television program I would like to see an adaptation of is New Girl, which airs on Fox. New Girl is an America situation comedy series that first aired in September of 2011, where Zooey Deschanel starts as Jess Day. Jess is an offbeat and adorable girl in her late 20s who, after a bad breakup, moves in with three single guys. She is dorky and awkward; and she is comfortable in her own skin. More prone to friendships with women, she's not used to hanging with the boys. Of the three male…

The purpose of these systems is to contribute to nursing knowledge for research and practice (Kearney-Nunnery 2016).
