Ms. Dominico’s Year 12 VCE English Class

Tonight’s HW:

POST #5 TASK: Re-write the plot of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as if it were to happen in a different context. 

 EXPECTATIONS:

• Incorporate your understanding of the over-arching concept of the film (eg. “it’s a film about changing realities”)
• Write in EITHER: expository, persuasive, or imaginative style
• FORM: your choice, but suitable to a purpose which you should specify
• Include at least 4 stylistic devices that we discussed today: (imagery, music, dialogue, puns…)

READ:

Our Plot Summary:

“Two people fall in love, break up and have their memories erased only to find each other again–and discover they have changed.”

Over-arching Concept Boardnotes:

• Relationships: natural (Joel’s) vs. forced (Patrick)…fate?
• Relationships: interaction between people — change over time; “honeymooning”
• Love: differences in types of love
• Love: changing realities — from perfection to acceptance
