Pick ONE of the essay topics
below for your paper.
- Discuss the effects of Magical
Stranger in Literature as seen in "The Handsomest Drowned Man in the
World", "The Temp" and Edward
Scissorhands.
Use at least two of these texts to display how a “magical stranger” comes
into the lives of these people and changes how they look at themselves.
Outside sources on different cultures would help answer this question. Use
examples from the texts along with outside sources to support your thesis.
- We also discussed the importance society
places on appearance when discussing "The Handsomest Drowned Man in
the World", "The Temp" and Edward Scissorhands. Use an example from at least two of these
texts to explain how appearance played a role in their stories while
discussing how important it is in today’s world. Use examples from the
texts along with outside sources to support your thesis.
- Compare Truman from The Truman Show and the prisoner that is freed to view the
outside world. Talk about how they were both “imprisoned,” achieved
freedom through knowledge and what ends up happening to them. Use examples
from the texts along with outside sources to support your thesis.
- Discuss three symbols (the sun, the cave,
the chains, the outside world, the prisoners…to name a few) and explain
what they may represent and their importance in “The Allegory of the
Cave.” Use examples from the texts along with outside sources to support
your thesis.
5.
In “Cathedral”, “The Allegory of
the Cave” and The Truman Show, the
theme of perception was represented and challenged by the authors of the
stories and the writer of The Truman
Show. Using examples from at least 2 of these texts explain
how a character’s perception of life goes through some kind of transformation.
Use examples from the texts along with outside sources to support your thesis.
