A Start on the Essay

Those scheduled to do a presentation can wait to complete this HW until section 12.2.

Write one or two paragraphs offering close analysis of a particular scene from your book or movie. Don’t fuss to much with orienting us at the start; don’t give a summary of the story or anything like that. Open the first ¶ with “In one particularly _______ scene, ….,” characterizing the scene in a way that focuses attention on the issue or mood that you plan to discuss in your essay.

Your analysis should aim in the first ¶ to characterize the scene (the what), and then in the second ¶ to deepen our understanding of that mood or issue (the why or how).

Turn in this HW assignment using the Comment feature, below.

There will be no draft for this final essay, though you’re welcome to visit me during office hours to discuss your work.
