YOU MUST WATCH THE FILM AND READ THE BOOK
The novel and moive script will be attatched. This was an essay that I have submitted before on this platform, but the writier failed to follow instrusctions givivng me a fialing grade in the process. I will also attacth what that writer wrote so you have an example of what NOT to do.
Select a few characters or situations from the novel and the film to compare. How do each of the
texts treat these objects, and what conclusions can you draw from these similarities or differences?
How do these objects reflect on the strategies, politics, or goals of the texts? Your argument should
be thesis-driven, and you should have textual evidence with parenthetical citation from the novel.
The film you may paraphrase; you do not need to have word-perfect accuracy in rendering dialogue.
Here is a partial list of objects that one might compare, but you are free to develop your own:
Mary Ann / Kurtz
O’Brien as narrator / Willard as narrator
Representations of women in each
Articulations of courage in each
War as game or play
Representations of the enemy
Representations of home
O’Brien’s novel (as confession) / Kurtz’s manuscri
