For this assignment, you will read a novel and write a 3-5 page thesis paper for a written story that’s been made into a movie.
This can be a children’s book, an article, short story, novel – any kind of writing that has been adapted into a movie.
For this assignment you’ll only be addressing the written story, not the film. The movie will be part of your Final Project Assignment.

Requirements
After reading, write a 3-5 page paper:
Create a thesis statement that answers this question: what purpose does violence or aggression serve in the story?
Support your idea with course concepts/readings we’ve covered, and at least one additional credible outside source (this can be about the violence in your particular story or about similar violence in fiction and its purpose).
This should be structured as a traditional thesis paper with a clear thesis statement in the introduction.
If you’ve never written a thesis paper before or need a review, here is a great resource: University of North Carolina’s Writing Center – Writing Thesis Statements.
Not understanding or following the format for a thesis paper will negatively affect your grade.
When in doubt, send me your thesis statement for approval before writing your paper.

Be sure to check the credibility of your sources with the CRAAP test.pdf.
