VII. Writer’s memo

I truly feel that I selected the right film for my paper. The film relates to the book in many ways and I also feel that it has great key points and aspects. The film covers issues such as rape, harassment, cruelty, gang violence, and refugees fleeing to America. What i learned most about screenwriting and friction writing is that for one screenwriting is the craft behind writing scripts for the mass media, which include television, film, and gaming. Fiction correlates a lot to short stories and novels, much like Tell Me How It Ends. If I had the opportunity to start over I would maybe try and challenge myself with a different film to see if others corresponded more with the common book. To watch all the others and really get an understanding of their portrayal and message behind gang violence and immigration.
