No Country for Old Men- Narration


After watching the Cohen brother’s film, apply creative writing principles and skills explored and exercised earlier in the course: writing narration, description and poetry.

A.      Narration -

Option 1-tell the story of the movie as a whole from the point of view of one of the characters that you analyzed in the movie questions (“writerly perspective”).  In the first person perspective, decide on what sequence of events the character would explain their actions and thoughts throughout the drama. Create the tale as that character would tell it.

Option 2- from the 3rd person point of view, tell the story of one or two of the scenes from the movie.  Clearly express the sequence of events in the scene(s), identifying each character and the actions and reactions they had in the scene(s) of your choosing.

Either of these options must consist of at least 100 words and fulfill the criteria explained in the option you choose.   Your work may either be e-mailed to me, as an attachment, or written and turned in on paper.  This assignment is factored into your quarterly grade as:
1.       a classwork grade
        and
2.    1/3 of a project grade.
