Introduction
Hook: Have you ever heard about the movie director Quentin Tarantino?
Connecting details: He is one of the most favorite movie directors in the planet his first
choice of movie was Reservoir of Dogs, which is heavily related to the; story of criminals
who are stuck in warehouse. Then, in January 2016, he directed another movie that
reminds people of Reservoir of Dogs. It is Hateful 8
C Thesis: Some might say that these two movies are very similar, but there are three huge
differences between the two movies. It is about the social backgrounds, way of
storytelling, and the characters
A
B

Body paragraph 1
Topic sentence: Firstly, the social backgrounds between the two movies are really
different
B Supporting detail: The late 20th century America was the kind of country that couldnt be
defined into one word.
C Illustration/example: Due to the chaotic atmosphere, crime was not a wonderland story,
and Reservoir dogs also keep the track of criminals who plan for the massive jewel
robbery. Since the movie was telling the stories of criminals, many important parts of the
plot are relying on betrayal, violence and murder.
D Supporting detail: However, Hateful 8 is based on the wild, wild western times of
America.
E Illustration/example: Several characters of the movies are directly and indirectly related
to the American civil war, and it causes a few conflicts between them. Additionally,
although the emancipation of black slaves was made, the African-American character is
still somewhat discriminated by others.

Body paragraph 2
Topic sentence: Secondly, the way of storytelling is very distinctive from one another
Supporting detail: Reservoir dogs is heavily based on character-based storytelling
Illustration/example: Not even single character is widely exposed to audiences, and due
to that factor, there are many twists in the movie. Then, the movie shows the suspicion
between the robbers after the appearance of police, and the story goes to the deep
maze
D Supporting detail: On the other hand, Hateful 8 is very cultural-based storytelling
E Illustration/example: They are tied to the worn-out shop because of the blizzard. In this
process, one of the main characters dies, and the conflicts begin between the people
who had trouble before. For example, two of them are between the Civil war veterans of
each side, and between white people and the black male character.

Body paragraph 3
Topic sentence: Lastly, the characters are totally different
Supporting detail: Reservoir Dogs is portraying six jewelry robbers
Illustration/example: From the beginning of the movie, they call each other by the name
form of Mr. White, Mr. Orange, or in other colors. The planner of this robbery strictly
prohibits them from changing any information that can expose each other, and the
audiences also does not get informed who is doing what for why. After confronting the
police, they are trying to find the betrayer but nobody can trust each other
D Supporting detail: However, characters from Hateful 8 is telling the audience about
eight people who came from different region, but one-third of the movie is describing
about the details of four main characters
E Illustration/example: Although the other four characters are appearing in the later part,
they are introducing themselves only, and do not have other info to back their identities.
Later in the movie, they finally find out who is hiding their intention, and finally kill the
liar.
