Order Description
In a short (2-3 pages critical essay following MLA style (format & documentation), compare American Beauty’s social critique to “The War Prayer” and “A True Story Repeated Word for Word, As I Heard It.” The essay should answer the thesis question: what are the similarities in Twain’s post-civil war social critiques and American Beauty’s turn of the 21st century social critique despite the vastly different social contexts (civil-war era vs. 1999)?
Draw on multiple pieces of textual evidence from the 3 primary sources to support the thesis, including scene dialogue and description of a setting or frame. Secondary sources are not required for this essay but must be cited and documented if used.
