** Total(40) 40 ** **example** ** Quote a prolific portfolio, contrasting two well-known stories with imaginative re-tellings. The //Paradise Lost// example mangles the original to a larger extent than the //Sleepy Hollow// example. This former appeals more to the imagination, while the latter more to the whimsy of a contemporary setting. I like the complete inversion of a story, although you seem to be racing to finish the story in the latter third, with the condensed narrative of Malcolm and Vevila. The modernizing of //Sleepy Hollow// had its own charm, but the basic plot was intact, so less food for the imagination. ****The User's Guide effectively described the genre, but not so much about the process of creating it. You made more references to that in the Reflection, but those details could be added to the User's Guide. I think the tension between the original and the new text are critical, and the writer has to make many decisions about how far to go, even in the writing of the new text. So loyalty to the original text is constantly tested in the writing of the new one.**
