A few changes that could be made to the short story would be adding more details to the story. For example, in the film version, they had explained what the town of old summit place was like. In the story they just said it was a flat as a pancake and never really got into a specific explanation of the towns situation and scenery was there. I’m a visual learner, so the movie itself was just easier to relate to and really understand the story. Another example of this was explaining the family’s situation. In the story version, they never really talked about their nanny, or the mom. If they had added more specific information about these things, maybe the story would be more relatable.
Another change I would have added to the story version of The Ransom of the Red Chief is by adding a much more interesting story plot. In the film there was a bunch of added conflicts and plots happening in the story at once. This made the film an interesting piece and made you want to watch to find out what happened next. In general it just had more backup information! For example why was Red chief such a trouble maker? In the story version, none of that was mention at all! But in the film, it explained that he didn’t get enough positive attention from his parent.
Lastly, another change I would add to the story Version of the Ransom of the Red Chief is by making it more humorous. In the film they added character like, the nanny and she made the story much more humorous! She had this outrageous laugh and these silly little mistakes she had done mad almost everyone in the class laugh! Unfortunately in the short story they never really mention their nanny. For excluding their nanny made the story not humorous and with a serious story plot which in my opinion made the story boring and NOT
