Option 1: Textual AnalysisThis option exists for cases where you do not want to create a creative entry. You should make an informed claim about the overall Theme or Themes of the text, then support that claim using evidence from the text – including quotes and/or paraphrased details. This is much more in-line with a short answer essay that you might produce for a standardized test. It should be at least 500 words in length and include at least three pieces of evidence from the original text to support your claim/thesis.· Option 3: A Different Perspectiveo
Creative
Element: Write a page of the story we have read from a different perspective
than the one provided in the original text. For films, you could write a
different shooting script that shows the film from different angles and perspectives.
You might choose to re-center the story from the perspective of a minor
character (such as the café attendant in “Hills Like White Elephants†or the
mother in “Tenth of Decemberâ€). This new perspective should be around 250 words
in length and should focus around one of the core moments in the plot of the
original story, told from a perspective different from the original.
o
Analysis
Element: Explain your choice of perspective and how it re-shapes the story –
Who does the new point of view favor? How does it shift the way we view certain
characters? How does it change the way we experience the events of the
narrative? In a film, new cinematography might drastically change the tone of
the piece, so you can consider this too. Use this analysis space to think
critically about your own perspective decisions and how they differ from the
original text. (Approx. 250 words)·
