** PLEASE DO NOT USE ANY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE!**
Tasks:
Write a 3-4 page analysis of a play that we have read for this class.
Write for an academic audience (No contractions, no slang, no clichés, no second-person perspective).
You will start writing this essay by imagining that you are the casting director of a film adaptation of one play that we have read or will read for this class this semester. You will then identify which current actors you would like to cast for the different roles in the play. You must cover all of the roles in the play. Your thesis for this essay will then argue that the actors you are going to identify in your essay are good choices to play the roles in the film adaptation. Now, let’s all be honest for a second. I know that there have been film versions of most of these plays, and some of them have even been recent. Your job isn’t to cast your movie with the same actors who have played these characters in previously filmed versions of these plays. Instead, you must cast actors for these roles that have never played these characters in a film.
Each body paragraph should utilize an argumentative topic sentence that explains why the actor you have identified is the best choice to play the role you have identified in the adaptation for him/her.
In each body paragraph you will provide at least one quotation from the play to support your argument.
It is also important to keep in mind that your readers will have already read this play, so you should avoid giving a plot summary.
You will need to provide an MLA-formatted works cited page which lists your sources for this essay. This works cited page does not count toward the minimum page count of the essay.
Each quotation, paraphrase, or summary must include an MLA-formatted signal phrase to introduce the material from the source.
Each quotation or paraphrase should include an in-text citation formatted according to MLA guidelines.
Format: The essay should be formatted according to MLA guidelines, which are accessible through the Purdue Online Writing Lab.
Grammar and mechanics: Has the ability to write using edited American English.
