. Write about One Idea in Two Mediums
Select a short story that you have read in this course. Then, select a piece from another artistic medium-an
image such as a painting or mural; music such as a song or symphony; a sculpture--that represents the same
subject or an important scene in the story. Write a 4-5 paragraph essay comparing and contrasting the text of the
story and the other artistic medium. In what ways are the two similar? In what ways are they different?
Use these guidelines for planning and writing:
Focus on the part of the story text that the work of art represents
How does the work of art affect your impression of the story? Are the impressions each creates different?
Focus on how the two versions of the idea convey an important meaning of the story
Choose one organizational patter-either block structure or point-by-point structure-and stick to it
You may want to create a Venn diagram or a compare and contrast chart to help you organize the
information
Make sure your essay has an introduction, supporting paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph.
State the title, author, and medium for each work,
You will not go through the full revisions process, but make your best effort to turn in a well-written paper.
