REMINDERS:
1) On 12/5, our class will be held in the usual place but it will begin at 1 p.m.
2) Your Final Paper is due on 12/5.
3) If you want your Final Paper or your Little Mermaid paper returned, bring a stamped, self-addressed envelope with you to class and turn it in with your paper(s).
4) Be prepared to discuss your Final Paper for five minutes by answering these questions:
  a) Which film & text combination did you choose to write about?
  b) What is the theme of your paper?
  c) Why did you choose that film, text & theme?
  d) What is something (large or small) that you learned while writing or researching your Final Paper?

TALKING POINTS (for The Little Mermaid):
1) What passage in the fairy tale surprised you?
2) If you had already seen the film, how was watching it different this time (after having read the fairy tale)?
3) What are the themes of the film and the fairy tale?
4) How would you re-tell the movie's story from Sebastian's point of view?
