For the Time row, this means actual chronological time. How is time manipulated in the novel? How is the passage of time handled? Many of your novels have
a Foreword; read it for additional ideas.
4
For the Film row, include a graphic and word/phrase that captures how the film captures this novel -- similarities or differences. You might highlight something
about the directors interpretation, the filming, the music, the camera work, etc.
