Identify the Events**: First, you need to identify two events that were reported journalistically and then recreated in a fictional genre. For instance, in Susan Glaspell's career, she covered a murder case of a farmer's wife who was accused of killing her husband. This event was later fictionalized in her play "Trifles". 2. **Analyze the Journalistic Reporting**: Look at the original newspaper articles or reports about the events. Pay attention to the facts, the tone, the perspective, and the overall presentation of the event. 3. **Analyze the Fictional Recreation**: Now, look at how these events were recreated in the fictional work. In the case of "Trifles", notice how Glaspell presents the same event, the characters involved, the plot, and the themes she explores. 4. **Compare the Two**: Now that you have a good understanding of both versions, you can start comparing them. Look at how the facts were presented in both versions. Did the fictional version stay true to the facts or were there deviations? How were the characters portrayed in both versions? Was the tone and perspective different? 5. **Draw Conclusions**: Based on your comparison, draw conclusions about the differences and similarities between journalistic reporting and fictional recreation. You might find that while journalism aims to present facts objectively, fiction allows for more creative freedom and exploration of themes and characters. How?
