An HBO Series

   

 The option I have chose is option number 4. Even though we were unable to complete the first episode, I thought that was one of the topics I could go off of the best. There were a couple "Easter eggs" and "callbacks" as our teacher mentioned but they are harder to point out since we are so early into the show. The comic book itself was interesting by the main theme of the book.  I unfortunately am not someone who particularly likes comic books, so I think it took me a little longer to actually enjoy what it was I was reading.

In the first couple of minutes into the show, I already started comparing it to the book. There was a lot of parts I found confusing. I do not like reading the book before the show for a couple different reasons. I find it easier to imagine the characters in my head from the show so I get a good visual. Since we had done it the opposite way, I am so focused on figuring out which character matches with character throughout the show. For me it is personally distracting and a little aggravating because I am still confused on some of the characters. On a positive note, I am excited to see how the show will play out since I did enjoy the book. I think a lot will end up being the same and everything will start to make sense.

Going along with not being able to figure out who a lot of the characters are, I thought I would add two pictures to help myself and anyone else who is confused. On the left, the picture is the comic version of the main characters in the book. On the right, the picture is showing the main characters from the show. Some characters are easier to put together than others, but it did help me visually see which characters from the comic went with the characters from the show.
