For this 5- to 7-page paper written in MLA style, you will be expected to engage your creativity while maintaining a compelling, clear, logical argument whose
premises support its conclusion(s). Using the essay prompts below, assess Sheri Fink’s Five Days at Memorial:
Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital and its limited series adaptation of the same name. The use of sources outside this text is optional and will not
affect your evaluation.
Essay Prompts
- Write an essay that compares the structure of the book and the series adaptation, especially with reference to Fink’s approach to divide the book into two
sections. What role do you think such divisions, as episodes or parts, play in the representation of their respective rhetorical purposes? Argue with reference
to specific evidence from the text.
The quality of your essay is judged on your thesis statement and how effectively you use evidence from the text, your own argumentation, and your rhetorical
skills to support that thesis statement.
