In my "Methods" post I explicated that I would be considering four criteria when reading and the examining the novel. I chose to summarize and analyzed the overall plot, consider the Timelessness, examine the text features, and research adaptations.
Here is an overview:
Numbers have been procured based on inquiry posts. See individual posts for clarity.
Scales:
Overall Plot/ Summary: 1- Disjointed, boring, not engaging, 5- Strong writing, clear focus, engaging
Timelessness: 1- Book is dated, many references of the past, 5- Extends across time
Text Features: 1-Limited or negative features, 5- Many and positive cognitive text features
Adaptation: 1-Limited Adaptation, popular culture understanding, 5- very prevalent
Example: Title: Overall Plot, Timelessness, Text Features, Adaptation
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: 3, 3, 5, 5
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: 3, 5, 5, 5
Peter Pan: 3, 4,4, 5
