This is a simple retelling of Jane Eyres arrival to Rochester, in the modern world. Taking the elegance and beauty from a famous love story with a beautiful setting, to the busy technology riddled society of today. It is told in a first person point of view through the eyes of Jen Reye.
Sixteen Candles
After Sam has her awful week and everyone forgets her birthday, she finally gets the boy of her dreams Jake Ryan. When the film ends he has a cake for her and a kiss, this is of the next day and a continuation of the love story from the eighties we all wanted to know about. It has a third person point of view. It works as it is a highschool sweethearts romance story.
Life after Loss (Harry Potter)
This is told in third person point of view it is a snippet from post Harry Potter, after the battle of Hogwarts and Fred was killed. This story works as it has humour, grief all tying up to the final Harry Potter book and the humour is inline with that of J K Rowlings. It also leaves suspense in the ending line and questions as to how who when with the mention of the knife. It engages the reader to explore and want to read more.
Malcolm In the Middle
This is in the future beyond the series of Malcom in the Middle where Malcom is off to harvard. It is a very emotional piece told though first person from Reeces' eyes. It takes too much away from the humour of Malcom in the Middle. To lighten it up they possible needed t add in another brother. However, the story did relate to the brothers well and you could get the sense of feeling from Malcom and Reece that they would react in a similar way had it been a show which aired.
Titanic
The only thing in this piece relevant to the titanic is Jack and Rose. Otherwise it is set in highschool in the eighties and Jack is an Orphan and Rose is his girlfriend. Jack still contains his cheeky naughty cabin boy humour and way and he still thinks Rose is beautiful and holds he on a pedestal. It is writen in third person point of view. It is a crossover of characters from the Titanic and a crossover of setting with Ferris Buellers Day off.
Matilda
This is in third person point of view however i feel that there is too much dialogue. through this it crams too much information and major points of the story Matilda into one chapter. I like the introduction of a friend for Matilda who is ballsy otherwise i am not a fan of this piece. Takes away the fear of Ms Trunchball, and the build up of love and hope we all have for Matilda.
Never Been Kissed
This story is quite interesting as it is in frist person point of view through Sams eyes. The majority of the film is Josie and her voicing her feelings, you can only sense his. Now you have his demons battling inside him on paper it is very relevant to the story and could have happened.I like how he refers back to the penguins alot to try and distract himself from thinking of Josie but then he just bounces back into something deeper about her and his want for her.
Cry Baby
This is a chapter from within the movie where Allison square falls for Cry Baby a Drape, so low trailer trash drape and upper middle class squares. It is told in first person point of view through Allisons eyes. It is a romantic segment and shows cry baby in an innocent vulnerable way that she has not, nor anyone seen him before. It works as Allison would have a fight with her over controlling Grandmother and Cry Baby would to alot for Allison in the first stage of lust in their relationship.
To Kill a Mockingbird
This is in first person point of view. Boo Radley was a simple man whom was always a mystery in the book. To have this piece written through his eyes is very interesting and touching the way he thinks children need help trouble. This being such a turning point and moot point in the story it is focused really well and is done effectively.
Noughts and Crosses
I like the way the piece is written in chapters under names of the characters and then written through their point of view. It is interesting to have Callum alive as it changes so many outcomes in the following books. However, the characters have been adapted well, the worrying Sephy, the evil sinister Jude and the lost boy Callum.
