1.1571 Awakenings: Comparing the Novel and Film.
The exercise of comparing the film adaptation to Dr. Oliver Sacks' volume Awakenings has been helpful in realizing that the written word and the film produced for a commercial and entertainment market, represent two very different kinds of expression. This paper involved a rereading of Sacks' Awakenings after viewing the acclaimed film of 1990 in which Robert de Niro played the character of Leonard, the first of several patients upon whom L-dopa medication is tried by the neurologist, Dr. Malcolm Sayers, s played by Robin Williams. From its opening minutes, the film is only based vaguely upon the account provided by Sacks of his treatment provided to a Miss Frances D. The book centers on this particular doctor-patient interaction while the film shows a young neurologist dealing mostly with the character of Leonard, the first to try L-dopa, but who also interacts with the other patients affected by the same condition. 5 pgs. 7 f/c. 5b.

4.1857 The Narrative Structure of Citizen Kane.
This paper will examine the narrative structure of Citizen Kane in order to demonstrate something of the work's multifaceted complexity. It will be argued that, although a chronological reading of the film may suggest that the narration proceeds, with diversions, to an eventual discovery of the "rosebud" at film's end, this may also be seen as another blind narrative alley in a film which denies a full perspective of the character at its heart. 6.5 pgs. 6 f/c. 5b.
