Brit Lit Twilight Zone Writing Assignment - Sections B & C due Wednesday 11/4, Section G due Fri 11/6

As we discussed in class, satire does not always use humor, but it does always criticize human behavior. Think about the element of irony in "Eye of the Beholder," the episode of The Twilight Zone we viewed in class. In a brief writing piece (2 pages, double spaced minimum), respond to the following prompt:  

How does "Eye of the Beholder" use satire to criticize standards of beauty and appearance?

In your piece, you should include the following

• An MLA heading (name, teacher's name, course, due date)
• MLA page numbers (last name followed by page number, upper right corner of page)
• An original title
• An interesting, attention-grabbing hook, a clearly-stated thesis
• paragraphs that include a topic sentence as well as concrete examples to illustrate your ideas

You may submit your paper via email or hard copy by the due date. If you need to re-watch the episode, it is available on iTunes or Netflix. You may also be able to find it on YouTube.
