Writing Homework Help

Discussion 1 (Respond to 2 classmates)

Watch either a War film made in the last 25 years or a Neo Noir film from the list, Neo Nior Films 1982 – 1999.pdf.

If you watched a War film, what does it have in common with the War films in the Week Five content? If you watched a Neo Noir film, what does it have in common with the Film Noir films in the Week Five content (other than being in color).

How does color play a part in the film you watched for this week? Identify at least three places that color stood out in the film.

Does there seem to be a predominate color or does a color seem to be missing from the film? If so, what is that color and do you think it had an impact on the film? If so how, if not why not?

If you did not see a predominate color or a color that seems to be missing from the film describe an addition place in the film where color plays a part.

Discussion 2 (Respond to one of your classmates)

In this discussion, we will consider ways to effectively use semi-colons and colons.

Post a sentence from your own writing that uses a semi-colon or colon OR post a sentence from your own writing that you could revise to use a semi-colon or colon and make the revision.

Explain why the semi-colon or colon fits into your sentence and why you might choose to use it instead of alternative ways of constructing and punctuating the sentence.
