Compare and contrast what Alice Walker’s novel The Color Purple and Neil Jordan’s film The Crying Game have to say about sexual identity.

Write on ONE of the two prompts below for the final exam. Your response should be 750 words minimum. Use any books, sources or notes that will help you write your response. A works cited page is NOT required. However, when quoting passages from the novel The Color Purple, parenthetical citation of the page number is required, and when using a critical source you need to properly acknowledge it in the essay. Your essay should have the following:An introduction with a thesis (your argument) at the end of it. Body paragraphs illustrating your argument by comparing and contrasting specific scenes in the book and movie. Lastly, it should have a conclusion.Compare and contrast the character of Shug Avery as she appears in the book The Color Purple with Steven Spielberg’s film version of her. In class, I showed a couple of ways in which Spielberg revised the character of Shug. I contrasted specific scenes—such as Shug and Celie’s love scene and when Shug talks Celie out of killing Mr. However, you could also consider other scenes or ways in which Spielberg changes her character. For example, in the movie version there is much more about Shug’s desire to reconnect with her father, and in the book, after her marriage to Grady, she has a love affair with a much younger man that is totally omitted by Spielberg. How do these changes or others Spielberg makes change her character, if you think they do? Do you prefer one version more than the other? Why or why not? Compare and contrast what Alice Walker’s novel The Color Purple and Neil Jordan’s film The Crying Game have to say about sexual identity. Through Shug Avery’s bisexuality and Celie’s relationship with her, the novel celebrates their lesbianism and critiques the patriarchal customs of America and Africa. Nevertheless, both women seem pretty content with the men in their lives and the patriarchal status quo by the end of the novel. In The Crying Game, Fergus’s revision of his racial and ethnic identity seems to be a prelude to his revision of his (straight) sexual identity. However, while his relationships with Jody and Dil force him to question the virtues of being a straight man, it is left up to the viewer to determine how far his changes go. Does one work provide a stronger or more compelling critique of compulsory heterosexuality than the other? Why or why not?
