Adaptation in writing means rewriting the work of others. Adaptation could be beneficial in the way that new details and description are added to the original work. Such additional work could involve more elaboration in the description of the scenes that put the reader in a richer environment and various moods. For example, is the rich description of Charles Perrault of the scene of the castle when the prince entered it. The writer gave the reader an image which describes the deep silence and the echo of death that was everywhere in the castle. Also, he pictured all the sleeping figures in the castle weather standing, lying on a couch or on a bed . The reader could not feel this comprehensive description in neither of the two versions of the same story by the Grimm brothers.
Another benefit of rewriting is adding logic and explanation to the way incidents happen. The reduction of the death wish to a sleep for hundred years is clearly described in the sixth edition version of the Grimm brothers than in the earlier version of the same writers. This is caused by the act of rewriting.
Also, the addition could involve a major impact to the original story. This is true in the case of the story written by Charles P. who extended the story beyond the awaken of the princes after the prince kissed her. Charles extended the talk about the life of the married couple after marriage, having two kids and the story of the wicked queen who wanted to eat both kids. This is a completely new addition to the story by the Grimm brothers. Although I felt that this addition is worthless, the story looks better with the original marriage end. Nevertheless, I believe addition could be more beneficial in other stories.
Rewriting is a progression where better quality writing is added to the original work to enhance and add wealth to it.
