Paper details:

Please write a persuasive essay in response to the question below. The essay must be word-processed (12 point font or smaller) and double-spaced with one-inch margins on all sides. Since persuasive essays are essentially rhetorical arguments, you will need to support your paper’s main claims and points with specific descriptive examples (e.g., storylines, dialogue, shots/images, scenes, actions, sounds) drawn from the film and ideas from the readings.

Please be sure to follow the formal, third-person writing style (ex: This film…) rather than first-person (ex: I think…). The essay must include in-text citations for paraphrased ideas (please no direct quotes) from the readings (ex: Fussell, pp. 33-34). Film titles should be placed in italics and you do not need to cite book or chapter/article titles, only the authors and page numbers. While you are expected to reference and cite paraphrased ideas from the readings, please keep in mind that these essays should be your own original analysis. The Internet Movie Database website (imdb.com) is a good site to find the names of characters in the two films.

Please upload your completed essay as either a Word or rtf document on “Essay Assignments” on Blackboard by 1pm on Thursday, March 24. Essays will be evaluated on content, structure and organization of a logical argument, grammar, spelling, form, and use of films and source readings. The completed assignment is worth a total of 20 points.
