ASSIGNED WRITER – Can you let me know what a few movies and scenes you like and will choose. I would like to choose a movie scene
This type of writing shows that you can closely observe and form an opinion in writing based on your experiences and observations.
Think about your favorite book or movie, or an episode of your favorite TV show. What makes this book, movie, or show so good? Imagine you have been asked to write a review of this book, movie, or TV show episode for an online publication. The publication’s editor has asked you to summarize a brief scene from the book, movie, or TV show and explain how this scene illustrates what makes it work so well.
Then, complete the following:
Select a scene from the book, movie, or TV show.
Write a 3-paragraph review of the scene you selected.
In paragraph 1, provide a summary of the scene.
In paragraph 2, use analysis to closely examine the scene and explore how and why it is so compelling.
Make a claim about what makes this scene great (e.g., Is it the descriptive language? The skillful acting? The realistic dialogue? The exquisite set design? Or something else?).
In paragraph 3, include a response section in which you defend your love of the book, show, or movie, explaining how the element you selected to analyze illustrates the appeal of the work for you.
Make sure your submission does the following:
Incorporates a quotation or paraphrase in the summary.
NOTE: Quote must be at least 1 solid sentence. Short quotes, such as “I believe!” or “That’s great!” or “I love you!” or “That is certainly a possibility!” will count for little or no credit.
Cites the quote or paraphrase in accurate APA style
Includes a properly formatted APA-style References page
