I’d like you to write an essay in which you use what you know about Chaplin’s artistry from the textbook to prove his influence on modern day comedy. In other words, you will discuss Chaplin’s influence on a comedian or a comic artwork (such as a comedy show, a sitcom, a comedic film, etc.) with the textbook ( artistry in motion: the comedy of charlie chaplin) as your supporting evidence. I expect to see a clear thesis statement – i.e. a sentence that makes clear what you intend to prove throughout the paper, clear topic sentences for each paragraph about what you intend to develop in that paragraph towards your ultimate thesis, and clear evidence that supports your idea.
