SUGGESTED CHOICES:
CHOICE ONE: PRINT VS. FILM VERSION OF A LITERARY WORK The research
paper may provide an analysis of a print and film version of a literary work. Take a position
(argument) that substantiates the point of view about how one version is superior to the other in
any aspect(s) of the analysis of literature. For example: “The print version of Shakespeare’s
Othello presents a more complete treatment of the theme of the play.” While comparing and
contrasting the print and film versions of the play the paper will be supporting a thesis. Students
are responsible to find a print and film version of a literary work of their choice (if they choose
the option).
