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.

We
know that people will love to come to the park because of the great popularity
of the book and that many people will love to see the actual Main Building of
the erudite or the underground caves and caverns of dauntless. 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.
