The Argumentative Analysis Of Brotherly Love By Jamal Hill

116 Words1 Page

The characterization and storyline are standards that should be met when releasing a drama film, but equally important is the script. Jamal Hill, writer of Brotherly Love, wrote a script with structure. When it comes to writing a movie, or anything else for that matter, the structure in which you place your characters, events, reactions and outcomes should be organized in such a way that a solid plot is formed. Hill arranged his events in a chronological order to evoke the ideal emotional appeal from his audience. He did that when he started the movie off with June Taylor relentlessly killing four men in cold blood and ending it with Sergio making to the NBA league.

    I would say that a strength and a weakness to the story would be they order he told it in. I’m so used to seeing books told in chronological order, so seeing a story told in an order other than that was quite strange for me. There are many pros and cons to telling his story like this though. A pro would be that it’s new and refreshing to most readers and keeps you light on your feet. A con might be that you could get confused or lost in the story, and you might have to read the book once or twice to really understand it.

  • Amy Tan's Argumentative Essay

    716 Words  | 2 Pages

    Tan includes a direct quote from her mother in paragraph six of the reading, and she does not shorten it for an important reason. Tan decides to keep the entire quote instead of paraphrasing to add an effect that a reader can only understand with the full quote. It shows that even though some people speak the language of English it is hard for others to understand based on the person’s full understanding and comprehension of the language. In Tan’s case she is used to the way her mother speaks and uses the language, but to others it is almost impossible to understand. If it were not for Tan summarizing what the quote meant before putting it in the text, few readers would have understood what the mother was trying to convey with her use of the language. Tan’s strategy in including this direct quotation is to show that language differs from person to person even if they all speak the same language. She is implying that the whole world could speak English; however, it would not be the same type of English because of how everyone learns and how others around
