For this paper, you will examine one subject or element and their two representations—this will be the same subject or element in both films— from Spider-Man (Raimi, 2002) and The Amazing Spider-Man (Webb, 2012) and compare and contrast it throughout both films. This paper is a comparison/contrast paper and you must choose either two points of comparison and one point of contrast, or two points of contrast and one point of comparison.This paper is a three page minimum essay that fully supports your thesis.
A) In the introduction, identify which texts are under discussion and which subjects/points you will discuss. Also discuss the relevance/purpose of the comparison/contrast.
B) Each body paragraph should be organized by either subject-by-subject or point-by-point structure (your choice!). After we discuss the elements of each representation, you need to decide which elements are the most relevant to your thesis and method of comparison/ contrast. The body paragraphs should also be organized by some method of subject or point importance (logical, time order, climactic, etc.). More than one paragraph can be used for each section of the analysis, if necessary.
C) You must examine the same subject or element in both films: Spider-Man/Spider-Man or Green Goblin/Lizard (Villains), not Spider-Man/Villain.
D) In the conclusion, you should restate the thesis and reassert the purpose of your analysis. You may also argue what you think these depictions mean for future representations of your subject/element in films or comics as the final thought—there are other areas to consider, however.
