Steps to Follow

1. Introduction

If you're not sure how to begin, you can start with one of the following:

• information on the author

• trivia on the time period in which the work originated

• a table of contents 

• a summary of the story your character is from

3. Modern Versions 

How has the character changed?

You could include some of the following:

• Modern movies trailers, TV shows, cartoons, commercials, comics, memes, etc.

• POSTMODERN ELEMENTS: parodies, pastiche, disrespect, etc. 

• Again, when possible, make some connections between the modern versions of the story and the time period.

Q. HOW CAN I MAKE CONNECTIONS TO OUR TIME PERIOD?

A. See if your modern versions make references to modern events such as terrorism, pandemics, political correctness, the Iraq War, modern inventions, current controversial issues, more diverse characters, more violence, stronger female characters, more sexualized female characters, less stereotypical male characters, villains with some action, explosions, glitz, and product placement—these are also elements you can look for.
