5 Key Missing Elements

As you watch the movie Blade Runner, think about everything it skips over from the book.
For a maximum of 20 points, choose 5 key elements from the book that are missing in the film. Write a paragraph or two about each element. Explain what's missing and how it changes the story. Observing that "the book goes into more depth" is both obvious and unnecessary to point out.

In total, you should have 2-3 pages, double-spaced. This is due on Wednesday April 22.
