- Assignment Specifications
While there are many ways to categorize items to show there are similarities and differences between two products, for this assignment you need only do that in form of a summary. You may, however, choose to be creative (or sophisticated) and show case the comparison and contrast via a Venn diagram or any other classification tools. But this will ONLY complement your summary. In your essay, you should integrate quotes from the movie, relevant notes if applicable, you took while you watched the movie. Whatever method or means you choose to showcase to your audience that you have a good understanding of compare and contrast, your main goal is to write an essay in which you compare and contrast the themes of betrayal and competition in relation to Social Media in The Social Network. Your essay must incorporate the following:
- A creative title for your essay that is relevant to the themes (see “overview”)
- A thesis or position you hold about that the themes you are comparing and contrasting (this should show up somewhere in your opening remarks/introduction)
- Summary with appropriate attributions to the characters from the movie (Who said what/ the name(s) of the character(s))
- Direct quotes and indirect quotations from the movie.
- A conclusion that ties your main points in the essay together.
