This is the first assignment for English II, where we were required to write a Comparative/Contrast Essay regarding two movies. We were to choose two movies of the same genre, either Dramedy (Drama and Comedy) or Musical. We have to first research about the genre we had chosen for a better understanding and then choose the two films within the genres.
We have to choose to write either a compare or a contrast essay, and in our essay we have to discuss about the genre we had chosen in the introduction. The essay should be of 600 to 1000 words within 6 paragraphs. Other than essay, we have to also write pre-writing points to make sure the essay is on the right track.
The genre I had chosen is musical, and the two movies I am comparing is Tangled (2010) and Anastasia (1997).
Reflection:
From this project I learned to interpret movie genres, because sometimes I tend to only look at the surface meaning of a certain genre when it has a deeper meaning. I also learned to make use of pre-writing wisely as it is a very useful way of writing essays when it comes to writing comparative essays. Besides that, what I learned from this project is also to pay attention of the movies in order to provide a clear summary and understanding.
