Different mediums and the tone of the text | Reading | Khan Academy

How does a text change when it goes from one medium to another, when it changes from a written work to a visual or audio one? That feeling it gives off can change-this might be why you were disappointed by the film adaptation of a favorite book, or why you love the adaptational changes someone made to a book you didn’t especially like.
Khan Academy is a nonprofit organization with the mission of providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. We offer quizzes, questions, instructional videos, and articles on a range of academic subjects, including math, biology, chemistry, physics, history, economics, finance, grammar, preschool learning, and more.
