Literature Works on the Silver Screen

 I want to mention about one of the most discussed topics in cinema world. Adopting the novels into the films. Nearly, everybody has something to say about this adoptations. In my opinion it is both good and bad idea. It is good because it gives us the chance to see our favourite ones on the silver screen. By seeing them as films, we can get different tastes which we can't catch while reading. It is also big opportunity for people who don't like reading. Thus, they can take an advantage of being aware of many beautiful literature works. And also we can regard these adoptations as a way for unknown novels to be heard. We become familiar with them in a very short time, although we haven't even heard about them before. On the other hand, I see these adoptations as limitation to our imagination. I mean, while reading one dialogue from book, we can create many images in our mind. We dont confine ourselves to only one description. The images we create according to the what author described vary person to person. But when we see it as film, we are only bound to see how it was imagined in the director's mind. Seeing it in the director's perspective is a big contrast to the subjective characteristic of a literature work. Another problem of adaptations is the poor quality of them. Sometimes just to attract the public attention, many scenarist aren't faithful to the original work. Consequently, only those ones which reflect the real value of work and which give little chance to imagination can be regarded as good adoptations.

Hi I'm Petek!
 I'm eighteen and i am a teacher candidate. I'm studying English Language Teaching at METU right now. My hometown is Bursa but i have been living in Ankara for almost 2 months. I am getting used to living here day by day. However, typical cold weather of this city makes me feel a bit worried. Everything have gone well so far and i hope it will continue to go on like this.
 I graduated from Atatürk Anatolian High School at which i had studied for three years before i came here. I used to want to be a teacher when i am in primary school . But now I actually want to be a translator, At the same time i have no bad and strict opinions about being teacher. I just can't see the soul of a teacher when i tihnk about myself. But i hope i will have gained this soul by the time i finish the university. And also in future i think i am going to work as translator as well as being teacher.
I love astrology so much tat i even regard people according to their horoscopes. I am really into it and really trust that horoscopes have a strong effect on people's character. I am  a typical libra woman and  i really have many characteristic of my horoscope.
My last regret is to have my hair cut. My hair used to be long but now I have shorter straight dark brown hair. Neverthless, i feel quite comfortable with them.
My life has changed a lot since i came here. I have learned to live on my own. Recently I have been taking my first exams at university. They were a lot different from what i had expected like many other things about university. What i am trying to do is just to get used to this life and feel happy. That's all for now :)
