I need to create an outline for a compare and contrast essay between Faulkner's short story "A Rose for Emily" and a film adaptation of the story....

The short story "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner was first published in The Forum on April 30, 1930. It was set in the city of Jefferson in Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, part of the fictional region that Faulkner uses as a setting for most of his work. The 1983 film version of the story was directed by Lyndon Chubbuck and starred Angelica Houston as Emily and John Randolph as Homer. 

In writing a compare and contrast essay about the two versions of "A Rose for Emily", you need to create a thesis about what you see as the major difference between the experience of reading the story and seeing the film. Reviews of the film suggest that there are two central differences in the audience experience. First, the film emphasizes an atmosphere of horror and suspense, while the story is more of a psychologically complex portrait of a community and the way it has changed. The second major difference is that the film is narrated in chronological order while the story moves backwards and forwards in time, making the film less complex and less demanding of its audience than the story. You can use either of these differences as the basis for a thesis about the difference between the two versions. For example, you might claim "The main difference between the genres is that the film, in simplifying the chronology of the story, simultaneously makes the narrative more accessible and more focused on the relationship between the two main characters than the original story."

Introduction: Your outline should start with an introduction explaining your thesis and pointing forward to how you will defend it.

First Section: In the first section after the introduction, you should summarize the differences in chronology between the film and the story.

Main Body: Each body paragraph should give details of one aspect of the film and the way in which it supports your thesis. For example, you should contrast the way the film explicitly shows Homer's poisoning with Faulkner's subtle approach in which we see Emily buying the poison and then find out about Homer's disappearance. 

Conclusion: Your conclusion shows how the evidence in the body of your paper supports your thesis. 

Scholarly Sources: Visit your university library website. It should contain a copy of the MLA International Bibliography, a database containing an extensive collection of bibliographic information about scholarly works on literature. Do a search for "A Rose for Emily" and click on the links which show your library as having full-text access to the articles. Another possible place to search for academic articles is Google Scholar, https://scholar.google.com/.
