Write a compare-and-contrast essay comparing a scene from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and a video adaptation of the
same scene. In class, we will write about Act 3, Scene 1, Lines 80 – 103, starting on p. 73 in the book (Link for Video Adaptation: https://video.link/w/AlThc). You may choose a different scene if you are working on your own. Examine and discuss the similarities and differences between the two versions. Your goal is to explain how the video performance enhances Shakespeare’s words. The essay should be a minimum of 3 paragraphs, 5 – 9 sentences each. Remember:
• Include an introduction with a thesis statement, a body with supporting evidence, and a conclusion.
• Use textual evidence from the text to support your points.
• Use transitions to link sections, paragraphs, sentences, ideas, and details.
• Use formal language and an objective tone.
• Choose either block structure or point-by-point structure and use it consistently.
• Proofread your essay for standard grammar, usage, punctuation, capitalization, and spelling.
• Include the act, scene, and line numbers for the scene that you choose.
Flannery O'Connor's short story "A Good Man is Hard to Find" depicts a family road trip that ends horribly. The grandmother persuades her family to take a detour to go sightseeing. The Misfit, an escaped felon, pulls up with his comrades, and the grandmother blurts out that she recognizes him.
