Poe Analyze the colors used in the rooms and objects in Poes lascellesjaimie
Poe: Analyze the colors used in the rooms and objects in Poe's “Masque of the Red Death." What do they represent? Who do you think is the narrator? (No, it is not Poe)

Overall Instruction:
· For any of these topic choices, you must quote directly from your chosen works and include page numbers in a parenthetical citation after quotes. Instructions for in-text, parenthetical citations are attached (see pages 3-5 of this handout).
· Choose quoted passages that function as strong evidence and help you communicate your main message about the works of literature you are analyzing. Once you quote a passage, be sure to USE it: that is, interpret what it’s saying and tie it back to your main point about the text. Through your interpretation (analysis) of each and every quote, you should advance your paper’s main argument (thesis).
· Avoid summary! In none of these assignment choices do I ask you to summarize or retell the storyline. Assume your audience has read the pieces that you’re writing about. Instead of summary, I want your creative-analytical response to the literature.
Topics:
1. Put any character in conversation with a character from another work by a different author. Createthe dialogue they might have. Note that your dialogue should capture an important aspect of each character and should be focused on one main theme. You might, for example, have two characters discuss their views about their adversaries or lovers, their plans for dealing with a similar problem they have (e.g. unfaithful spouses or low social status), their different encounters with the underworld, and so on. Write a dialogue (of any length) between the two characters and attach it to an essay of 4-5 pages explaining the reasons you chose to write this particular dialogue and the message you wanted to get across about the role these characters play in their respective works and the burdens or successes they represent. Keep in mind that you don’t have to choose a work’s main characters; it would be very interesting to choose minor characters who play a smaller but critical role in the text. The best essays will illuminate a surprising intersection between the character and texts, as well as an important message about both your characters and the works they represent. Be sure to quote from the original texts in your dialogue and accompanying essay. An alternate approach to this essay choice would be to put two different authors from our syllabus into dialogue with each other.
2. Imagine that you’re planning a film based on a pairing or group of works from the syllabus. Write a description of your film, making sure to answer the questions: why make a film on your chosen works? What message, drawn from the original texts, are you trying to get across, and why do you think it’s important for a contemporary audience to hear this message? Also, think about the stylistic decisions that a film director makes and explain how you would like to see your film made, and why. (Is it a big- budget action film, a romance with recognizable stars, a musical, a comedy, or a “quieter” family drama?) Write an essay of 6-8 pages in which you discuss the .
