Movie course – analysis

April 27, 2021 Leave a comment MLA, Other

THE ASSIGNMENT:

Find a modern film (anything from 2000 to present) that mimics the hallmarks of those made from roughly 1967 – 1975, during what is known as the New Hollywood Era.

Demonstrate your knowledge of the influence of the quintessential New Hollywood filmmakers (approximately 1967 1975) by comparing the hallmark styles and techniques of those pictures (use “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” or “The Graduate”) with a relatively modern (anything from 2000 to present) film.

Some of the things to look for would be:

Theme of rebellion
A hero fighting the system and losing
Story lines emphasizing the loss of innocence
Anti-Heroes that the audience is rooting for
The Establishment as the enemy
Downer endings
Popular music soundtracks
Often stylish, fast-cutting, consciously showy filmmaking
REMEMBER, you must compare your modern film of choice with EITHER “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” or “The Graduate.”

Your analysis should be at least 2 pages, double-spaced.

Racism

April 25, 2021 Leave a comment English and Literature, MLA

Select four sources, including at least one literary source from our textbook, that not only address your  social issue but have also been published in the same century (i.e., 1600-1699, 1700-1799, 1800-1899, 1900-1999, or 2000-2019). Some exceptions to this time-period rule may exist; check with the instructor if you have a question about your sources. Your annotated bibliography may include a combination of primary and secondary sources, including:

literary criticism
historical documents
newspaper articles
philosophical treatises
and more.
Entries from dictionaries and/or encyclopedias may not be used. Additionally, At least two sources must be accessed through the library catalogue. The information you provide for these two sources must demonstrate that the sources have been accessed through the library catalogue; this is typically accomplished by including the librarys URL or DOI for the source. Please include this relevant information in the bibliographic entries for these sources; if it is not included, I will assume the sources were not accessed through the library, and the project will lose points.

Annotations

Each entry in the annotated bibliography should contain information about the publication, formatted according to MLA conventions, as well as a summary of the source. The summary should include the points below.

The title of the source
The author of the source. If information about the author is included, it may not exceed one sentence.
The purpose of the source
The main idea (or thesis) of the source
The key supporting details of the source
In the final draft, a brief introductory paragraph that precedes the four annotated bibliography entries should be included to offer an argument regarding what comment(s) all four sources offer on a social issue of that century.

The 3 stories you will write on are:
1. Reality Built on Myth by John Lovchik
2. Ulrey, Lindsey. Column: Institutionalized Racism Must Be Combatted with Education
3. Racism is a public health crisis by Tamara Holmes
