Choose one of the following films – The Princess Bride, Star Wars: A New Hope, or Disney’s Moana.
Watch the film, and answer the following three questions –
Who is the protagonist of the film and why?
What is the Major Dramatic Question of the film?
What specific moment in the film is the Climax, and why?
With these answer in hand, write a 1-2 page paper describing these elements, and how each element is connected to one another. Write your paper in MLA format and submit it in a .doc or .dox format ONLY. If you submit a PDF or a Google Doc (that has not been saved in .doc or .docx format) you will not get credit for this assignment. Your entire assignment must be a minimum of 150 words. Follow this link (Links to an external site.) for a full MLA style guide.
Finally, check your writing for spelling, make sure the paper is grammatically cogent, and that you’re thoughts are well-organized. Base your answers to the questions in the terms we have gone over in class. If you have any questions about those terms, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I want to make sure you can demonstrate an understanding of these terms.
