     Some works of literature use the element of time in a distinct way.  The chronological sequence of events may be altered, 
or time may be suspended or accelerated.

	Choose a novel, an epic, or a play of recognized literary merit and show how the author's manipulation of time 
contributes to the effectiveness of the work as a whole.  Do not merely summarize the plot.

your essay on a work you know from having seen a television or movie production of it.
