Assignments over break!

Please finish reading Hamlet over break!

Also, please write your Citizen Kane analysis essay and submit through Turnitin!

Assignment:

Please spend a few paragraphs analyzing Kane as a character.  What drives him?  What helps to explain him?  What are some ironies or larger themes that he embodies?  How do minor characters and their relationships help to define him?

Please spend a paragraph analyzing at least one specific short story technique:  symbolism, point of view, narrative chronology, tone, setting, irony, etc.  Make sure to provide evidence of your technique and analyze the specific effects this creates.

Please spend a few paragraphs analyzing at least two specific applications of film techniques:  camera shot, camera angles, lighting, editing, mis-en-scene, music, sound, movement, etc.  Make sure to identify and describe the technique and explain the effects this creates.

You finished assignment should be 3-5 pages double spaced.  If you refer to ANY outside resources, please be sure to cite them appropriately and include a works cited.  You may organize this in any way, but please be sure to use an academic voice.

An approximate screen play is available here if you would find it helpful for identifying quotations or scenes.
