Many popular books are often translated from words on a page into actions that play out on a screen. This transformation from book to film can provide readers and watchers with two different perspectives of the same story. For instance, when I read the Harry Potter books, I pictured certain things in my mind that didn’t match up to the images on the screen. I therefore could compare my ideas to that of the director. I think this strategy is useful when analyzing literature. This opportunity is present to us after having read Everything in this Country Must. I discovered that a short film of a meager 20 minutes has been produced with the assistance of the author, Colum McCann. I think it is beneficial to watch the film. Here is a link to a video of it:
