The Monkey and the Metaphor: What Every King Kong Movie Is Really About

The Monkey and the Metaphor: What Every King Kong Movie Is Really About

DIRECTIONS:

This week we are starting Unit 3 on Monster Culture. Because we are going to be looking at monsters through the lens of race and culture, I would like us to read an article from Vanity Fair by Nathan Rabin. This article has videos embedded in it, so I will be linking the article for you to access. If you enjoy King Kong and/or this article, you might decide to use the giant ape as one of your monsters for this project (or all three, if you do three different iterations.)

STEP 1:

Carefully read through “The Monkey and the Metaphor: What Every King Kong Movie Is Really About” by Nathan Rabin. Read it slowly! Read it twice! Use the questions above to help you annotate. This reading I am providing as a link because there are videos embedded in the article.
