//A Title that is "clever"//
// Name your play and your movie in the sub-title so the clever title doesn't seem random //

//After your title comes your intro description, which should include the following info:// //- names of the play and your movie selection, plus an introduction to the characters you're talking about and their basic situation.// //- a thesis statement that compares/contrasts the movie and the play. You it should be clear which focus area you're zooming in on from the intro paragraph--set the reader up to understand the scene(s) you'll be presenting!//


 * In the movie "Maid in Manhattan" Marisa a maid at a hotel, falls in love with a Politician named Chris. Through a series of strange events upon the first meeting, Chris is led to believe that Marisa is a guest at the hotel, which later leads to other a forming relationship. This is similar to Luchentio and Bianca. Luchentio at first leads Bianca to believe that he is a tutors, rather than a suitor. Both situations end with the pair together and in love. These texts reflect societies beliefs that l****ove can be found, and formed in anything, even lies and deceit.**


 * One day during work Marisa gets talked into trying on a guests cloths. She tries them one, then a knock at the door. Another maid that was in the room answered the door. In walks Marisas son Ty, who begins asking his mother if he could go for a walk with a man and his dog, before Marisa gets to answer in walks Chris, a senator to be, believes that Marisa and Ty are guests at the hotel. Chris and Marisa have a short conversation that ultimately ends up with all three of them going for a walk in central park. This is where the relationship and feelings begin, if Marisa didnt lie there would have been no walk and in turn no relationship. This is similar to when Luchentio lies to Baptista and tells him hes a tutor, without that Luchentio would have never actually met Bianca.**


 * The lies continue as the relationship grows stronger.**

// After you have the intro, it's up to you how you organize your film stills and quotes. I chose to alternate between the play and the movie, starting off with the play. Put the play quotes in BIG FONT to give the reader something to latch on to. And remember to give enough CONTEXT in your captions for each quote and picture, or else the reader will be confused! //

// Here are sample formats you can use. For the play, start with a direct quote in a bigger font: //

**"Quote from Play"**

(Act x, Scene x, line numbers)

// A few sentences go after quote, including sufficient CONTEXT that tells the reader what's going on in "Shrew," and also a bit of ANALYSIS linking to your thesis. //

You then TRANSITION into your comparative scene from a movie. Include a transition sentence and then put in the screen shot:


 * IMAGE GOES HERE **

//After the screen shot, you need to do the same thing that you did for the quote from "Shrew" -- sufficient context that describes what's happening in that scene, and analysis that connects back to your thesis (and states what the comparison and/or contrast is to "Shrew.)//

Then, you need a second (and possibly a third) set of comparisons: play, movie. Play, movie. Don't forget to use a larger font!

// Finally, you need your CONCLUSION. This paragraph should specifically mention BOTH the play and the movie, and touch on the central question of the assignment: // What do these portrayals show us about society's attitudes towards courtship/dating?
