CWRU Tales for a Contemporary Audience Essay

 

I’m working on a writing report and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Follow the steps below using the essay, “Did They Live Happily Ever After? Rewriting Tales for a Contemporary Audience” (found in the textbook on page 432).  

For the critical essay, read and mark comments or sections you agree with and disagree with or have a serious question about. Then, choose the one quote/section that most interests you or emotionally engages you, and work through the steps below.

  1. Include the quote, exactly as it appears in the essay. 
  2. Write a one sentence statement about why you agreed or disagreed with the quote or why you question it (or want to know more).
  3. Look at how the original statement was supported—what proof was presented? (see step four for list)
  4. What could you use to support your idea (either additional proof or something that would disprove the author’s ideas)?
