In the document with the essay questions, I think you have got the Bordwell readings mixed up for the essay titles. Surely they are the other way round, chapter 8 refers to style and not narrative while chapter 3 is solely about narrative (question 2) I just wanted to clarify with you.
Hope you are enjoying half term!
