An adaptation is a version of an original source, such as a diary, autobiography, or story, that is modified for presentation in another form. This could be a film, musical, play, or even a novel.
Here are some examples:
* Film adaptation: The movie "The Lord of the Rings" is an adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's novels.
* Musical adaptation: "The Lion King" is a musical adaptation of the Disney animated film of the same name.
* Play adaptation: "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a play adaptation of Harper Lee's novel.
Adaptations often involve changes to the original story, such as:
* Changing the setting or time period: A story set in the Victorian era might be adapted to a modern setting.
* Adding or removing characters: A minor character might be expanded upon or removed entirely.
* Changing the ending: The ending of an adaptation may differ from the original source.
Adaptations aim to capture the essence of the original source while presenting it in a new and exciting way for a different audience.
