// Clever title goes up top //
// Name your play and your movie in the sub-title so the clever title doesn't seem random //

//After your title comes your intro description, which should include the following info:// //- names of the play and your movie selection, plus an introduction to the characters you're talking about and their basic situation.// //- a thesis statement that compares/contrasts the movie and the play. You it should be clear which focus area you're zooming in on from the intro paragraph--set the reader up to understand the scene(s) you'll be presenting!//

// After you have the intro, it's up to you how you organize your film stills and quotes. I chose to alternate between the play and the movie, starting off with the play. Put the play quotes in BIG FONT to give the reader something to latch on to. And remember to give enough CONTEXT in your captions for each quote and picture, or else the reader will be confused! //

// Here are sample formats you can use. For the play, start with a direct quote in a bigger font: //

**"Quote from Play"**

(Act x, Scene x, line numbers)

// A few sentences go after quote, including sufficient CONTEXT that tells the reader what's going on in "Shrew," and also a bit of ANALYSIS linking to your thesis. //

You then TRANSITION into your comparative scene from a movie. Include a transition sentence and then put in the screen shot:


 * IMAGE GOES HERE**

//After the screen shot, you need to do the same thing that you did for the quote from "Shrew" -- sufficient context that describes what's happening in that scene, and analysis that connects back to your thesis (and states what the comparison and/or contrast is to "Shrew.)//

Then, you need a second (and possibly a third) set of comparisons: play, movie. Play, movie. Don't forget to use a larger font!

// Finally, you need your CONCLUSION. This paragraph should specifically mention BOTH the play and the movie, and touch on the central question of the assignment: // What do these portrayals show us about society's attitudes towards courtship/dating?

Why Not Tell The Truth? . This project will be "zooming in"on the honesty and deception in marriages. In "Shrew" Petruchio tells Baptista that Katherine only acts "weird" when he is around and this is one of the many deceptions in the "Shrew". In the Honeymooners. Ralph lies to his wife Alice about many things especially about when he loses all their money. Petruchio tells lies to Katherine and Baptista order to gain Baptista's trust.

The male characters both have problem with telling the truth, the difference is in the goals of their lies. Petruchio lies in order to gain the trust of Baptista so that he can marry Katherine. By contrast, Ralph tells lies to his wife Alice in order to get her love and trust because they are already married. He's not lying to control her -- he wants to do right by her.

"How much she loves me. O, the Kindest Kate! She hung about my neck, and kiss on kiss She vied so fast, protesting oath on oath, That in a twink she won me to her love." Act 2, Scene 1, Lines 326-329. This quote tells how Petruchio lied to Baptista about how Katherine acts toward him.

This quote relates to how the main character Ralph in "Honeymooners" constantly lies to his wife in order to gain her trust back because he lost all of their money.The two quotes relate because they both show the male character lying to someone in order to gain something. The only differences is the reasons why they are lying.

In conclusion these the movie Honeymooners and the play The Taming Of The Shrew are similar because the main characters both lie in order to gain something. This makes me think that it is true in most marriages only because in most movies the male character tells lies to their wife and loses their wife trust and love momentarily.
