Your Citizen Kane essays are explained below. Remember, you must complete one required essay (of either option.) The second essay is optional, but likely will benefit your grade. Both essays must be submitted to Turnitin and will not be accepted after Friday, May 20th.
Kane Device Essay:
Please write a 2 page minimum (typed, double-spaced) reflection paper on the use of a minimum of 3 film techniques in Citizen Kane. Please describe the specific technique and analyze its effect and how its use contributes to the meaning of the film. There are no structural requirements for the paper, but the paper should be written in formal voice.
Kane Character Analysis:
You are writing a character analysis paper focusing on Charles Foster Kane. Again, it will be in formal voice, 2 pages, double-spaced, but no structure requirements. Consider discussing Kane's influences, motivations, desires, fears, relationships with others, etc. Do your best to use some quotations from the movie.
