Writing Assignment #2: ANALYSIS PAPER Analysis paper is your exploration into writing an analysis of a literary adaptation. You must choose one
text and its film or television adaptation; it may be a text and a film that we read and viewed in class.
This 3-4-page essay should be an analysis of how that particular text has been adapted for new,
contemporary audiences. You should not focus on which is better, the film or the book. Instead, your
analysis should capture the changes that take place from page to screen. Consider these following
questions as your starting point:
o Is the adaptation a straight or a loose interpretation of the text?
o Can the adaptation stand alone, or is it necessary to have read the text to understand the film?
o Does the adaptation capture the text’s formal elements: the theme, characterization, style, tone, and
plot of the text? o Is the adaptation a quality film in its own right?
o When the screenwriter and/or director changes any of the formal elements of the text, is the overall
message retained?
Follow general guidelines for written assignments found in the syllabus.
To be eligible to receive a passing grade on this assignment, you are expected to:
1. write an essay that is 3-4 pages in length
2. integrate your analysis of the adaptation
3. incorporate evidence (i.e., quotations, specific examples) from the text/film
4. have a Works Cited page using MLA format
5. follow general guidelines for written assignments
