Wednesday, November 17

Greetings.
As you know, there will be our second in class essay happening on Friday.
Remember to bring a blue book and any notes you wish.
You will have the full 50 minutes to complete the essay.
Review your notes on how to write an in class essay that we discussed before our Daughter from Danang in class essay.
You will have three prompts to select from--and you will write on ONE.
The prompts will focus on these three things:
1. how would you complete the sentence...The film, Frozen River, is less about_______________and more about___________.
Explain thoroughly and specifically why you would fill in the blanks in that way.
2. is the film, Frozen River, a genuine, authentic film? Do Lila and Ray, the main characters, strike you as real and believable? Why or why not? Explain specifically.
3. write about a few of the symbols that appear in the film and seem to represent some of the possible themes in the film. One example might be the frozen St. Lawrence River. Another might be Lila's eye glasses. And...?

Also, if you wish to submit a rough draft for essay 3, I will accept them via email until 9 pm tomorrow evening.
