2des - Breakfast at Tiffany's

Post your response to the film version of Breakfast at Tiffany's, comparing/contrasting it with the novella. I'm looking for insight and analytical thinking about the effects of the changes made to the story, characters, point of view, setting, themes, etc. You may also respond to any of your classmates' posts.

What to do:

When you're assigned a blog post I'm looking for insight, analysis and engagement with the text or whatever topic we're exploring.

You should be delving beneath the surface, making connections, asking good questions, and pulling pieces (quotes and examples) from the text to support your ideas.

Please read and respond to your classmates' posts. Think of it as a collaboration; try not to simply repeat what others say but to reinforce, question, and expand on ideas.

Do your best with spelling and grammar, but don't stress about it. Blogs are by nature less formal; what's important is to let the ideas to flow!
