Unit 6:
Discussion - Frankenstein (Film/Novel)
Instructions
Please choose
two of the following questions.
Before answering this
unit's questions, you should view a Frankenstein film of your own choosing.
IMDB.com lists over 385 choices, when you search by the title character's name,
so be creative in your choice. Also, you should complete Mary Shelley's
novel Frankenstein.
Keep in mind, as you
view the film and read the novel, a few of the questions posted below.
Directions
Full-bodied entries—of
at least ten sentences of writing from you (in addition to quotations from the
text)—are more likely to receive full credit. Lesser credit will be assigned to
work that is missing, brief, or clearly disengaged or sloppily produced such
that miscues interfere with readability.
Your responses to
other students’ work are also assessed. Students often resist commenting on
each others’ work in substantial ways; instead choosing to post simply “good
job” or “looks okay to me.” This kind of peer response doesn’t help your own—or
your peers’—development as a writer and thinker.
Acceptable peer responses
will, among other things:
·
Explicitly identify what was learned from someone else’s work.
·
Ask a follow-up question.
·
Offer an alternative interpretation.
·
Offer concrete strategies for improvement.
Questions (Film/Novel)
Choose two questions
to answer:
1.
Describe your chosen film for your classmates. As part of the
description, show us what you believe the film's argument and focus to be. What
genre would your film fit in? How does your film develop similarities or
differences with the novel?
2.
What do you believe the ultimate argument of the novel
Frankenstein to be? How can we develop this argument as part of a class in
serial killer media? As this is the only novel that we'll be reading from the
18th century, how does this older work inform the writings that we have thus
far read in class?
3.
Why does Frankenstein's monster kill in the novel? This is a
deceptively simple question, so let me elaborate just a bit. What is his reason
and motive for revenge? How does the monster admit that all of his killing
could have been avoided? What moral burden does this place on us as readers?
