CWRU Tales for a Contemporary Audience Essay
I’m working on a writing report and need a sample draft to help me learn.
Follow the steps below using the essay, “Did They Live Happily Ever After? Rewriting Tales for a Contemporary Audience” (found in the textbook on page 432).
For the critical essay, read and mark comments or sections you agree with and disagree with or have a serious question about. Then, choose the one quote/section that most interests you or emotionally engages you, and work through the steps below.
- Include the quote, exactly as it appears in the essay.
- Write a one sentence statement about why you agreed or disagreed with the quote or why you question it (or want to know more).
- Look at how the original statement was supported—what proof was presented? (see step four for list)
- What could you use to support your idea (either additional proof or something that would disprove the author’s ideas)?
