post 4.... adapting the Da Vinvi Code

   If you ever wanted to adapt The Da Vinci Code, it should be fairly easy. There is one huge plot and 3 sepreate stories. There is Robert and Sophie, Silas, and the Bishop. Robert and Sophie meet after Jacques, the curator of the Louvre, is murdered by Silas. That would be a very major scene you would have to put in. Silas shoots Jacques and Jacques dies slowly but before he dies he leaves a secret message. Sophie is the granddaughter of Jacques and Robert was supposed to have a meeting with him. They are brought together and they have to Uncover the true meaning of the Priory of Sion. Silas wants to find it to and is using the Bishop to help him. Another scene you would have to incorpperate is the escape scene. Robert and Sophie must escape several times but a major one is their escape from the Louvre. They find a tracking device in Robert's coat pocket, stick it in a bar of soap, throw it out the window onto a truck bed, and must try to escape in a SmartCar. It's very thrilling. The thrid scene you would have to throw in is the scene where they find out who the bad guy is. The bad guy ends up being Teabing but it's so unexpected it was a shock! I thought the whole time the bad guy was Fache, the policeman in charge of this. I thought when Robert and Sophie were trapped in the room with Teabing when he had the gun. Robert was able to act quick on his feet and was able to save them while at the same time being able to keep the secret hidden.
   Two things that could be left out are actually two minor characters. One character is Remy. He is Teabing's helper but doesn't do much. All he really does is just die. He is a waste of a thought for Dan Brown. The book would be better off if Teabing was able to walk on his own but Teabing has crutches and needs help. So in my opinion Remy should be left out and Teabing should be able to walk on his own. Another character that would make the book better if he wasn't in the book is the Bishop. The Bishop is used because he needs to help control the Vatican while this takes place. The Bsihop must also get money to help pay Silas for the job but The Bishop never gets the money to him and Silas ends up dying while The Bishop must recover from a shot wound. Both of these characters are so insignificant that the book would be better without them.
