Questions for Cloud Atlas - from 5/15 Class

First, choose one of the genres Mitchell uses in the text.

1.  What markers of the genre does Mitchell include to make you know the type of story you are seeing?

2.  In what ways is he possibly poking fun at the genre?  What seems exaggerated and “camp”*?

3. Where does Mitchell breathe life into the genre and invite us to take it seriously?  What does he use the genre to show about people/life?

*deliberately exaggerated and theatrical in style, typically for humorous effect
