Paper Instructions:

Read:  You should be at least halfway through Stephen King's novel, The Shining, and you will need to finish that novel by tomorrow.
View:   Go to the Readings, Images, Media section and click on the "Media Clips" folder.  There's a link there to a short scene near the beginning of Stanley Kubrick's 1980 movie adaptation of The Shining.  (Or you can just click on the link below.) 
Write:  Here's today's discussion question:
Compare the clip from Kubrick's movie to the novel. What do you see that is similar or different? What themes do you think are developed in the beginning of the novel, and how are these themes adapted in this scene from the movie?
As always, please be specific in your examples.  Quote from the novel and/or refer to specific elements of the clip--visuals, characters, dialog, whatever you think is significant.  
When you're ready to post, go to the new forum on the Discussion Board.  As always, you must write at least 300 words in response, and you must make your post by 11:59P.M..  Late or short posts will not receive credit.
