Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 6 page comparison between the film The Bourne Identity (2002) and the 1980 novel of the same name by Robert Ludlum.

of the island. He is accompanied by his wife, Harriet, whose family ties were instrumental in Saul being hired for this project. Saul is also accompanied by his assistant researcher,

has lived on the island before, he doesnt act as a guide for the new arrivals. For this purpose, they turn to their landlady, Merle Kimbona, a talkative, middle-aged
descendant of a rich white planter and a black servant girl. Driving her beat-up auto and wearing an assortment of silver earrings shaped like Gothic saints, West African cloth and
