Expository Writing for 10/9/14


The main thing to remember this week is that your second paper is due at class time. That's the one about Young Frankenstein and Frankenstein. Bring it with you to class. (If you have to miss class, email it to me by class time and you will get full credit.)

This week, there is no movie so we'll have plenty of time to get a lot done. If you haven't done your oral report (movie review) yet, be prepared to do that. We'll be finishing those up this week. And remember: It's not cheating to bring notes with you.

Remember to read pages 116-149 in your text.

We will also be discussing Young Frankenstein and Frankenstein. Here are some Talking Points:
  1) Which of these two films do you prefer? Why?
  2) Which scenes and other elements are common to both films?
  3) Is it significant that the original Frankenstein novel was written by a woman?
  4) What is Frankenstein really about? What is Young Frankenstein really about?
  5) What are some repeated jokes (or "running gags") in Young Frankenstein?
