Prompt
SA4: Who is Count Dracula? Graphic Analysis. Due Wednesday, 23 April In a well-planned graphic analysis, compare Stoker's description of Dracula with at least three of Cohen's theses. In what ways is he (or is he not) a monster by Cohen's definition? Use direct quotes from both Cohen and Stoker to support your points. Use parenthetical citations, like this (Snyder 1) for each of your quotes. Include an illustration of Stoker's monster based on the description in the novel (try chapter 2). Your entire project should fit on a 11×17 poster. I'll happily provide the paper and art supplies. You may work alone or with a partner. If you work with a partner, please compare Dracula to at least six of Cohen's theses. Look Fors: • Strong Planning: the layout, fonts, and colors of all the poster's parts (illustration, headline/subheads, quotes, comparison, conclusion) is logical and adds to both the poster's argument and visual appeal. • Careful Execution: This project shows attention to detail: there's nothing hasty or accidental about the drawing or the text. • Accurate Analysis: Quotes are well chosen and thoughtfully placed. It's clear you understand what Cohen and Stoker posit about monsters. It's clear whether or not you believe Dracula meets Cohen's monster criteria.
