In a two-paged, double-spaced, 12-point-font essay, discuss the relationship between dialect and character in this clip from the Walt Disney film Aladdin. Describe, in as much linguistic detail as you can, the dialect (including accent) of at least one of the characters in the clip.
After doing so, describe how the dialect contributes to the character’s role in the clip. How does speaking one dialect over another create, in the audience’s mind, a more developed sense of who the character is, what their motivations might be, as well as their shortcomings?
Use your readings to help you answer the question.When you cite readings use the Chicago style. For more information on how to cite properly following the Chicago style, go here: http://www.temple.edu/writingctr/handouts/citationguides/ChicagoCitationGuide.pdf or here: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html . I recommend in-text citations–(Author Date, page #). Remember to include a bibliography when you cite. Points will be deducted for lack of organization, improper or missing citations (including web pages) and references, as well as for vague, general, and/or unsupported arguments.
