Florida Project and The House on Mango Street Essay

Description

compare the use of “scenes” in The Florida Project and The House on Mango Street, and say HOW scenes work in place of a traditional “plot.”

Why?

Both the film and short novel don’t have much of a “plot.”  But as we’ve discussed (and the director Sean Baker explains), sometimes “underrepresented stories” need to be told IN NEW WAYS…. it’s your job to show these ways AND how they work…

What to do:

1) I’d like us to write a 5 page essay (not including images) that does the following things:

intro:

1. a) It should have a brief introduction that summarizes your argument about–what’s the point? IF these works don’t have traditional plot, how do you think the “scenes” function to ADD up / reveal something about these characters/and their world.  Your intro should be a summary statement (short) guide to the essay.

compare contrast:

1. b) In a short paragraph or two, overview the similarities between  The Florida Project and the selections from  The House on Mango Street(first chapters) that we read. This comparison should emphasize how the stories are told (through scenes–without direct plot) and WHY underrepresented stories need NEW WAYS of telling…

Remember to QUOTE from the BAKER argument/video at least once during this essayFlorida Project scenes

1. c) The next section:

Choose TWO Scenes from The Florida Project and do a scene analysis that shows HOW the scenes WORK to reveal character, their imagination, and their world.

BE Specific. Talk about style / choices THE SAME WAY Baker does in Anatomy of a Scene below.

Remember: Include an image from each of the scenes that you’re talking about. You can talk directly about the image, or use it as a way of referring to your scene.

Mango scenes:

1. d) Finally, choose a “scene” from MANGO Street to discuss in depth. How does the author Cisneros–LIKE A FILM DIRECTOR!–avoid drawn out plot…. BUT EFFECTIVELY creates a sense of character and place in the film.  Be Specific. Speak of metaphor, imagery, voice in exploring this idea.
