It also asks for examples of common storylines that have been retold as well as texts that have been adapted to different mediums. The respondent is asked to evaluate whether an adaptation was better than the original and discuss what makes adaptations successful or not. It concludes by asking how values may change over time and how appropriating an image into a new context can influence its meaning.
