watching the films

Hi guys--Here's a place where you can coordinate watching the films in the library if you'd like. Feel free to go to the other class blog (link on the right under the picture) and coordinate with them as well.

9/9 Discussion question part 4

How does the film differ from the book? Why (do you think)? and/or What does that do for the film/book?

9/9 Discussion question part 3

What kind of rhetoric is the film using to portray the story? What effect does that rhetoric produce?

For example: The film uses lots of visual shadows which enhance the monster’s monstrous size, make the film feel more “horror”-like, and highlight Fritz’s deformity.

What was your favorite scene in the film so far? Why?

9/9 Discussion question part 1

What major themes or issues does the film Frankenstein begin to address?

9/4 discussion question, part 2

As you continue to read and finish Frankenstein, what themes and patterns are you noticing?

9/4 discussion question, part 1

Today we watched "Frankenthumb" in class. One thing that adaptations can do is teach us things or highlight things about the original text. What does Frankenthumb help us think about in the novel?

Humor was a big part of this film. What did using humor do for the adaptation? Why use humor?

TIPS FOR POSTS

Hi all,

Make sure you post on at least one of the questions from each set of questions (often, I'll post more than one question per set--so, if the question has "part 1, part 2, etc." you only need to post on one). Also, feel free to comment on what other people say rather than just answering the question yourself.

I'm excited to read your ideas!
