Adapting WWZ
by grant davis

in the book wwz the story is made up of several dozen non inter connecting storys or intervies is what the author calls them.three specific sceens that should be kept in the movie are the battle of yonkers becasue it was the first time that they had a huge full on battel with all of there advanced weapons and still could not take of all of the zacks (zombies). the next would be when the chinese nuclear submarien went awol and defected with there familys trying to save them and the last would be the blind japanes man who was one of the very few people left in japan after the evacuation. the reason that these may seem like they are strange thing to keep are because my book has no storyline only a un employe going around interviewing people.

i would not need to pick specific sceens to cut because in retrospect you could cut every other short interview because all the book is, is a UN employe going around getting a large amount of peoples storys about how they survived the zombie apocalpys. the characters, the only character you would need would be the main character and then all of the other people he has interviewed. but by the trailers you can see hollywood has added a family, a love intrest and changed the fact that the zombies couldnt run but now of course they can run. i still do think that there will be a good adaption but im do not know how they would format the movie.

Book 1 Project: Divergent Amusement Park!


         Come one and all to the Divergent  Amusement Park set in a dystopian Chicago with all the fun you can imagine. The park has all five factions put into separate parks around the huge area of the rebuilt “Chicago”( please note this is prewar with all factions intact.). The park will make sure you are treated just like you would be as if you were in the real faction in the book. The factions all feature signature rides dauntless has the most the larges roller coaster in the park is located in the dauntless faction we call it the cave coaster. The erudite features large simulation rooms that you can use for fun just think of something and if you’re lucky and your Divergent  then you can control the simulation. And the other factions feature many other fun rides and shows. The park features over five hundred knowledgeable employees per faction and keep in mind the Divergent  Amusement Park is a scale replica of the on in the book the staff will treat you like it would be in the book so watch out in dauntless. Only because of Veronica Roth and her support were we able to achieve such a feat for all of you Divergent  book lovers out there.
2.         We decided to create the Divergent  Amusement Park because of the huge popularity the book series. The idea of the Divergent  Amusement park also comes from the author veronica roth who contacted us to build it. The park correlates to the book by having all of the landmarks and buildings from the book. “The train passes the erudite compound, which is dark now. It looks peaceful from a distance, and inside those walls, it probably is peaceful.”(456 Roth) we feature a totally functioning erudite compound. “How do you survive in the dauntless compound”(144 Roth). The fact is like four from the dauntless faction if your scared of heights make sure you have control over your self or you might have to take a detour around the dauntless faction. The fact is that the size of the undertaking to build the faction less safe houses to the time needed to create the faction headquarters. Beware if you venter in to the factionlesses territory we may never see you again.  “To live faction less is not just to live in poverty and discomfort; it is to live divorced from society, separated from the most important thing in life: community"(20 Roth) The faction less portion of the park features shows depicting the book with stage actors.

But don’t forget the rides I recommend the dauntless cave coaster or feel free to go see where they make the serum for the populous in erudite. This well help the book and help the park it’s self by making everyone who visits want to read the book to experience the park even more and readers  of the book will come from far and close to see the setting of the story in its accurate form. This park will give Divergent  such a huge amount of media attention just because of the sheer size of the undertaking to build this amazing amusement park. This will encourage many “super fans” the chance to make a pilgrimage to see the setting in Divergent  just like many fans of other books do.
