Writing 4: October 3rd 2011

Hi, everyone, today let's do the first essay of this semester. The title is My favorite movies. Please choose about 3 movies that you have enjoyed very much, and tell us about them. Some things you could write about:

• the story (but don't tell us the ending!)
• why it was interesting to you
• the actors
• the director
• the English and Japanese titles: is there anything interesting about the translation of the title?
• any famous lines or speeches from the movie
• any other similar movies

Some sites you could use:

• Internet Movie Database
• allcinema

Please don't read detailed explanations (in English) of the movies too soon, because if you do you may find it difficult to think of your own words to write about the movies.

The deadline for the essay is October 16th (before the next Writing class on October 17th).
