Mixed Blood

9: Literature Project

A week passed by with no significant events. Their Fatumics and Vampirology subjects were still not scheduling any classes yet after the first ones. Currently, Section Rose Quartz was having their Literature class.

"So, in conclusion, film adaptations use many works as inspiration. It could be a novel, an autobiography, comic books, religious texts such as the Bible, a news article or even musicals and other films. There are so many options to choose from," the Literature teacher summed everything up. "Now, for your project, I will group you into groups of either two or three."

"Do we choose our partners?" Donghyuck asked.

"No. I will be the one to choose," the teacher declared. "Listen carefully."

"Okay," the class obeyed.

"Zico and Jieun, Jisung and Chenle, Donghyuck and Mark, Soonyoung and Jihoon, Minghao and Junhui, Chan and Seokmin, Vernon and Seungkwan, Wonwoo and Mingyu," the teacher announced. "Now, for the three-membered groups, Sunmi, Jessi and Chungha; Renjun, Jeamin and Jeno; and finally, Seungcheol, Jeonghan and Joshua."

"What will be the project, ma'am?" Chenle inquired.

"In line with our current topic, I want you to report a compare and contrast review of a novel and its film adaptation. Any novel will do. You can choose those we have in the library or the books or even e-books that you personally have."

"Ma'am, how about those book series? Do we need to compare all the books and films?" Vernon questioned.

"No. If the novel you chose is a series, just do it for one of the books, preferably the first. Also, since a book might have multiple film adaptations, I want you to emphasize what year the book was published and the year of the film's release."

"Okay, ma'am. Understood."

"Now, I will give you time to have a meeting with your groupmates. By the way, no two groups must review the same novel or film."

The class scurried and met their groupmates. The room was slowly being filled with hushed conversations. Each of them were trying to find a film that they have interest in that was adapted from a book. Minutes later, the teacher called for the meetings to end.

"Now, please tell me what books or film are you going to review so that I could keep track of them," the teacher instructed.

"Our group will be doing 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'," Jessi said.

"Jieun and I decided on 'The Fault in our Stars'," Zico stated.

"Ours will be The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe," Donghyuck claimed.

"Chenle wants to do 'Crazy Rich Asians'," Jisung chuckled.

"Jeno and Jaemin agreed that we will be doing the first book of the 'Twilight' series," Renjun told the teacher.

"We will be doing the 'Phantom of the Opera'," Jihoon giggled while Soonyoung pouted.

"We decided on 'Maze Runner'," Jun declared.

"It will be 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring' for our group," Seokmin revealed.

"Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief," Wonwoo simply answered.

"The book and film that we will be reviewing is 'Paper Towns'," Seungcheol mentioned.

"It will be 'Harry Potter' for us but we haven't decided what book yet," Vernon excitedly stated.
