The Ring of all Ages
Growing up having an older sister and a mom that loved horror movies, I frequently watched them. It started with Gothica but I preferred The Ring over that. I was very interested in the fact they watched a video and then had seven days left to live. The fear those teenagers had after viewing the film and getting the call was thrilling. Just imagaining getting that call is very scary. Even though I was interested in that, I think it would be even more interesting changing it up. In my research I’ve really focused on the video and the teenagers getting the call saying they have seven days to live. My adaptation I’m going to change the video and the call they get. I’m going to make the video into an old book and I’m going to make the call into a letter. To make the letter a little more thrilling I’m going to have the letter not get sent right away. When the teenagers get the mysterious letter they won’t know what it’s from. There is going to have to be much more investigating to figure out the death of the teenagers. In doing this I’m going to make things more complicated to find out. It’s going to make the reader that is reading my short story more interested in knowing when things will happen and how it happens.
