Examine a text that reinterprets an existing story, event, or visual object. Once you’ve sorted out the relationship between the original and the retelling, consider the context of the adaptation. When was it published? What were the author’s circumstances? What was going on in the world at that time? In short, why might this particular author have chosen to retell this particular tale at this particular time in this particular way? What might you argue about the culture in which your retelling emerged?
