1. What is the song "I DREAMED A DREAM" all about? What does it say based on your own understanding and interpretation?          - From the title itself, the song is all about a dream the person who wrote the song or the main character has dreamed. From what I've felt and understood, the person dreamed of somehow a nice, proper, near to perfect life. Everything the person wanted was there.  Due to different circumstances the person has experienced, the dream he dreamed will just be a dream. When you were dreaming while sleeping, once you wake up, the dream will end there. For him, when reality faces his wild imagination, everything stops and took the wrong turn.  2. What are the similarities and differences between the 2 adaptations (in terms of style, delivery, artistic expression, multimedia, etc.)          - For the similarity, I can say that both of the performers/actors gave a wonderful performance.

1.  What distinct characteristics does graphic fiction/novel have?          - Graphic fiction is full of different texts and images which make it more interesting for readers. Also, it covers the whole storyline in one book, unlike comics which usually come in volumes/issues. Some readers find it more engaging than having to read different writings. Also, with the different elements a graphic fiction has, it captivates reluctant readers more. It also has exciting and complex plots, characters, and conflicts.  2. If you are given a chance to create your own graphic fiction/novel, what will be your genre, story/theme all about, and why?          - I think it will be Humor or Historical Facts. Usually, when I'm bored, I tend to watch historical videos on youtube. I am also a very joyful guy which is why I think humor will do okay. Personally, I like stories or concepts that are real so fantasy is kind of a no for me. I just want m...
