What is your reaction to the text you just read?
The general feeling the text leaves me with so far is confused. Whether that is because I haven't read that far or not would be seen if I read on but as of where I'm at in the text, I'm not really interested in reading more. They're establishing a small society structure in Disney with one girl which is an interesting enough premise but it isn't well explained on what that means in general. Are there more like her? It is mentioned that she is only in charge of so much so who is in charge of the rest? They also mention that their are still guests, so clearly this isn't what all of society is like. If so, what is the rest of the world like at this point in time that is being created? While I'm sure these questions will be answered later, I don't think they should be my main thoughts as I initially read, I should have a general understanding of they two main character's world (even if it isn't a complete understanding) but the characters themselves have phones in their ears and can transfer data to each other which I feel has no relevance to the fact that the girl lives in a society in Disney world.
What connection did you make with the story? Discuss the elements of the story with which you were able to connect.
As a Disney fan, I could relate with the idea of enjoying the park after hours. Getting to see the rides without guests and the behind the scenes aspects of the park is cool to me, so I could relate to the girl enjoying that aspect of her job. The haunted mansion is also my favorite ride so I related to that as well. Otherwise I didn't have any connection to the male character.
What changes would you make to adopt this story into another medium? What medium would you use? What changes would you make?
I would establish setting first, all the questions I mentioned in the first question would need to be addressed in some way, even if it was just to minimize peoples need to ask them by revealing the whole setting later. I wouldn't start with the prologue. I have no idea what medium I'd use, I'd want to read more to make a definitive decision, but as of now I'd say movie. Something where you can see the setting without having to say so many things to make people too confused onto what the society that is happening is.
