Theme Sentence and Analytical Statement for Charlie
• Create a theme sentence for Charlie. You need a
subject/universal idea and a strong verb in your sentence.
No “you” or “I”.
•
Write an analytical statement/text evidence/commentary
to prepare for your upcoming essay. Choose a cinematic
technique and think of the effect of this technique. Here is
an example:
•
Tim Burton, in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, uses
diagetic sound to create a realistic, family home for
Charlie. For instance, the fire crackling and the soup
simmering provide cozy background sounds for the scenes
where the family is together. This technique illustrates the
love of the family even though they struggle with poverty.
