Summary
Typically, your critical review should open with a brief summary of the work and the criteria you are using to analyze it; this summary should be no longer than a quarter of the total length of the critical review. A good summary will give both the basic information (author, title, genre, etc.) and an overview of the work (plot, main characters, setting, theme, etc.).
Alternately, your summary can be woven throughout the review to support your analysis, but it still should add up to no more than a quarter of the review.
Critique
The critique portion of the critical review should focus in on a particular aspect or aspects of the work that stood out to you as a writer. What did this book, poem or film, teach you that you can apply to your own work? Here is where you are applying one or more aspects of craft — in this first review you are welcome to use our class discussions along with craft points from In the Palm of Your Hand or Flash Fiction for this criteria.
This doesn’t mean you have to review poetry or flash fiction — you can apply your criteria to any creative form. For instance, you might want to analyze a film and look at how the dialogue in one scene of the film helped create emotional tension, in contrast to another scene where the dialogue undercut or diminished the emotion of the scene (In the Palm of Your Hand certainly has some great points about creating emotion that you can apply here). For an example, see this critical review of the film American History X.
If instead, you choose to begin with a review of an outside book or essay focused on craft (from your semester list of reading), you might discuss in detail the advice that worked for you, and perhaps what didn’t. For an example of this, see this critical review of Stephen King’s On Writing.
Finally, don’t rely on your memory of a work you’ve read or viewed in the past. Read or watch a work more than once so you can really break down and explain the how and why of the work’s successes and/or failures, given your criteria. Then decide how this analysis is helpful to you in your own work.
In this case you will review the dystopian novel called Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. And the aspects you will talk about is the world building/theme in the story and the characters.

Write a brief (500-700 word) response to the following prompt:
Based on the werewolf narratives we’ve watched so far, what features (if any) seem essential to a werewolf story? What do these essential features suggest about werewolves as monsters? In what significant ways do they differ from other monsters we’ve read about?
Support your response with 2-3 quotations or specific examples drawn from the text/film/TV episode. Accurately type in each quote. For each quote or example,explain how it supports your response to the prompt. What does it say that you find particularly interesting? Why/how is it significant, surprising, or thought-provoking?
For full credit, your response must:
include 2 or 3 quotations or specific examples
use those quotations or examples to support a clear, well-organized response to the prompt

PLEASE AVOID PLAGARISM

Please help improve the flow of transitions and make the paper sound smoother and more readable overall. I feel like the essay sounds too much like ai.
Remember to write about literature in present tense. Even though Antigone died, write about her in the present tense.
Maintain a formal tone, so keep your writing in third person.
Be sure to differentiate between the title of the play and the character of the same name by using italics as needed.

The myth of Arthur and his knights seems as much about physical heroism as it is about moral and ethical tests. To you, what seems to be a central concern of Tristan, Sir Gawain, the Wife’s tale, and Morte D’Arthur? Support your thesis with careful use of the texts for evidence and analysis. I have also attached more instructions. This is not a research paper.

Watch the film, I Am Denver, and read the short story “”Flight” by John Steinbeck,” by John Steinbeck (found in Content in the file called “Reading Assignments). In the film, they discuss common stereotypes of Chicanos(as). List as many of these stereotypes as you can find in “Flight.” If you are not sure what to look for, read (or re-read) my lecture notes for this unit!) The main character’s name is Pepe. The question marks are in place of symbols, like quotations and accents. For instance, Pep(?) is Pepe (accent over last “e”). You do not have to provide citations because this is a web based version of the short story. If you quote the film, please cite using time stamps.
