The Naval Treaty

The Naval Treaty Main Task: You will compose a 400-word analysis about The Naval Treaty on a topic of your choice. You may write about the text alone. You may write about the Granada TV production alone. Or you may write about both. Format it this way: 400 words Double-spaced Font: Times New Roman No extra spaces between paragraphs. Please indent instead. Put student data at top left corner Number your pages / put last name before number Please staple your pages BEFORE class. What NOT to write about: This is to be more complex than a mere comparison / contrast paper. We have covered the relationship between Holmes and Watson enough. Weve also covered their personalities and tastes enough. Therefore, papers that limit themselves to those topics will not earn a very high grade. Important to do: Make sure your paper has a main idea and then uses specific examples to support that main idea. Use quotes and page numbers, but be careful not to overuse them. The reader wants to know what you think. You may use an outside source as long you cite it and have a Works Cited page. Here are some possibilities: The Victorian setting Holmess relationships to objects Watsons relationship to objects An aspect of cinematography such as color palette, Mise En Scne, composition, sound effects, music, camera shot, etc. See attached. The role of women How does class affect the plot? What are the various attitudes between classes and the attitudes members of each class have about themselves? The role of family The hierarchy of Victorian society Personal honor and reputation The relationship between the consulting detective and the police detective Age differences Holmess actions towards the criminal in the end Wealth / poverty / possessions Engagement / the betrothed Mental incapacitation (nervous breakdown, etc.) / mental illness / sensitive natures / Victorian brain fever The Watch (nowadays, we would call this the stakeout, where Holmes asks Ms. Harrison to stay in a particular room until she retires for bed, after which Holmes watches for the criminal) How Conan Doyle builds suspense Other (choose two from the list above only PLACE THIS ORDER OR A SIMILAR ORDER WITH US TODAY AND GET AN AMAZING DISCOUNT :)
