Peer-Editing Day: December 3
Due Date: December 10
1. Read the book "The Old Man and The Sea" by Ernest Hemingway.
2. We will have watched the corresponding film in class; if you missed it, get it & see it.
3. Then, you are to write an essay in which you explain whether you preferred the book or the film, defending your position with specific reasons.
4. Important: Work in (briefly) a discussion of ONE legitimate review into your essay, as a basis for comparison (pro/con, agree/disagree). On a separate bibliography page, cite the source of your review (online or print) with complete information.
***
Note: You are not just comparing for the sake of mentioning differences. Anyone could fill up a paper like this. Your job is to be selective, taking care to note differences in defense of your position/argument.
***
The basics:· This paper must be 3 complete pages (minimum) in length. Anything less, and I will drop a letter grade.· All papers must be typed, double-spaced, standard margins, and stapled.· Number all pages.· Name, date, English 101, and a TITLE must appear on your title page. The title page is never considered page 1.
