I know the assignment on the biographical essay was mentioned in class. I was wondering if we can review in class in more detail regarding the style and components of a well written biographical essay. Also, how much time do we have to write this draft?

What is needed in order to make my biographical essay less boring? Also, can I use sources that I found from the internet in the bibliography?

I have troubles to end the book review. Can you give me some suggestions?

I think the biographical essay on Marie Curie will be very challenging to compose because there was so much learnt about Marie over the pass month. It will be difficult to decide which topics to include in the essay and which ones to disregard. Nevertheless I do believe if enough time is spent on choosing the most relevant topics about the subject everyone will be able to tackle the essay succesfully.

I've got the general idea of how to compose the essay. But I'm having trouble usage of dialogues. Should we introduce direct speech or quotations? I can vaguely picture to myself an essay with direct speech.

I like the end of the documentary film. It is so emotional. People recapitulated Lillian Hellman's interests and peculiarities not her achievements. It shows that she gives people so deep impression not only in her success but also in her life. "She is not an important person but she is great."

One of the interesting ways of presenting biography is listening to eyewitness's quotes on a subject. And so, according to spectator's opinion Lillian Hellman loved being dramatic and angry, enjoed provoking conflicts. It energised her and kept her alive. On the other hand, as we've learned from Mr. Rollyson's essay, "Hellman did not deign to reply to the charges" made by McCarthy concerning Lillian's libel about some issues in her memoir. Interesting.

Lillian Hellman's documentary was insightful, it gave a picture of Lillian that the book leaves out. We got to hear the opinions of people knew her, and see the expressions on their faces as they showed us her life. I don't understand why Ms. McCarty dragged Lillians name through the dirt. I was upset. I kept asking myself:
Why Ms. McCarthy called Lillian Hellman a liar? Did she know Lillian Hellman personally?

I learned what does Lillian Hellman looks like and what others think of her in the documentary. She likes to social and talk a lot. She likes to talk anything she wants without any hesitation. For example, she says the word "chink and nigga" without thinking before she says it.

I learned more about Hellman the individual from the video than from the biographical essay. I was immersed in her story more easily as I listened to the interviews and watched her for real.

Is it mandatory to add quotes in Marie Curie’s biography? Is it possible to write a strong biography without quoting Curie’s words?

P.S Ying Tian, thank you for providing such a excellent example of repetitions of words

I think that composition is a great thing. Nevertheless, ability to wrap up work skillfully is very important. It can help (to some extent) to manipulate your audience's reaction. We see from the documentary how conclusion can absolutely change reader's(or viewer's) opinion about subject. Watching the film I couldn't help experiencing the feeling close to dislike. But the emotional end altered the perception of Hellman's life and let me see it from the different angle.

Carl Rollyson's last 2 paragraphes of his biography of Lillian Hellman are similar to the last scenes of the documentary. Both describe Lillian's lawsuit with McCathry and how successful is she.

The film shows Lillian Hellman individuality, humanizing her.
In the last part of the film they used very interesting way of interviewing people; same interviewees were asked about same subject. This method allows creating very bright and emotional picture of the last days of her life.
The last paragraph of the Carl Rollyson’s biographical essay just describes the quality of her writing and her place in American literature.

comma seems so easy, but if you misuse it in the sentence; it will have different meaning.

When writing an analytical research paper, should I focus on the content of the book itself or on the person's own story? How many references should I use?

Can you tell us in more details about the research paper?How can we compare the ways that different authors use to write about the same aspect?
