Pl 20 points in a short essay of 2-3 well-developed paragraphs, compare and contrast reading the story with watching the video.

first, evaluate the choice of costumes, set, and actors in the film compared with the text version. why did the director make the choices he did, and what effect did they have on the story, plot, theme, and/or viewing experience?

then, explain how the video changed or deepened your understanding of the story and its theme. use specific evidence from the text of the story, as well as the video, to support your ideas and observations. (make sure you explain specifically what the theme of the story is, too! )

(quick note: the story it is asking about is called "the lottery" by shirley jackson)

The difference between the film and the book is the setting and atmosphere the director presents in the film. The setting is made as simple and realistic as possible to make, the atmosphere suspenseful. The director used foreshadowing by filming Tess Hutchinson's nervous, smiling face. The movie’s more defined because we see the serious and nerves faces of the town’s folk.  

The film and the short story are very similar. Both are very bone chillingly suspenseful, and both moods are dark and morbid. The scene were the children were gathering rocks was foreshadowing the heart-stopping scene that has yet to occur. Both film and story stayed true to this moment. The film did an astonishing job of creating the feel of tradition for this morbid act.

hope this helps! :)

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
