Annabelle is directing a film version of a book she checked out from the library. What can she change without changing the meaning of the story?

Question

The story’s ending
The characters’ names
The characters’ hairstyles
The story’s location

Answer 1

Annabelle can change the characters' hairstyles and the locations without changing the meaning of the story. Changing the characters' names may also be possible as long as the essence of the characters remain intact. Changing the story's ending, however, would most likely alter the overall message or theme of the story.
