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)
