Mr.Rivers was not in class today, so the class worked independently to finish the Summer Reading Essay. Which will be due tomorrow, Wednesday the 23rd, at 11:59 pm. Some thing to note is that the essay is to be 1,000 to 1,2000 words long. It all has to be in MLA format, with a citation page in the end. For your book citation remember to use (Author.Title source.Title of container, other contributors, version, number publisher) as the format. Then (Dir. First name Last name. Film Title. Container. Distribute, Year of Release.) or (Film Title. Director. First Name Last name. Container, Distributor, Year Of Release.) for the film. When citing a quote from the film, the citation you use to cite the movie dictates how you cite the quote. Another option is to paraphrase, where you shorten and put the quote in your own words.
If you are stuck writing the essay, here are some questions to ask?
1. Is there a significant difference in objective quality across the two texts?
2. What narrative examples from the film/novel are best for comparative analysis?
3. How can you shape these observations into clear claims?
4. How can you unify these claims under a logical thesis statement?
There are more questions and other tools to use for the essay on the Adaptation: An Exploration/Argument doc. You can go check there to make sure your essay follows what is asked. Make sure to submit the essay on time so it doesn't come as a zero. As they are not accepting late work.
