The things they carried

/in /by

How does Tim OBriens Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong comment on the changing gender relations in the United States while the Vietnam War raged? In other words, what fears or hopes does Rat Kileys tall tale reflect?

*A successful essay will offer one major insight in its thesis statement rather than a list including the word many.
*Begin quickly, avoiding any generalizations. The best way to do so is by including the authors name and the works title in your first sentence: In Field Trip, a story in The Things They Carried, Tim OBrien describes
* Use the Modern Language Association (MLA) form of documentation. Dont use a separate cover page. The title of your own essay should not be underlined, italicized or boldfaced. Simply type it out, with the first letter of every important word capitalized. It should also be centered.
*Set up every quotation, using a comma, a colon or an embedded quotation. The MLA method does not permit dropped quotations.
*Remember to use the continuous present tense when discussing literature: OBrien writes, rather than OBrien wrote, unless you are listing individual works that he authored.

International Film Paper

International Film Comparison Paper

Watch Francois Truffauts classic 1959 film about adolescence The Four Hundred Blows. Then you may choose from one (1) of the four other films below. After watching The Four Hundred Blows and the film of your choice, use the knowledge you have learned thus far in class to compare and contrast the two films.

Requirements

  • It will be up to you to come up with an argument that encompasses both films. 
  • You will need to compare and contrast several elements of the films, developing a multi-perspective analysis of local, global, international, and communication issues throughout the films. 
  • One other source besides Princes Movies and Meaning is required. You cannot cite IMDB or Wikipedia. Do some research on the director of your film. If you have time to watch another of his or her films, I encourage you. 
  • You will then write a 3-4 double-spaced page paper that analyzes and exposes what you learned from the course about the given films.

As your paper will analyze films directed/written by people from different countries, it is crucial to dissect how these filmmakers approach the elements of filmmaking to tell a narrative. Some of the elements to consider are, but not limited to:

  • Film Structure
  • Cinematography
  • Design
  • Editing
  • Acting
  • Sound
  • Genre
  • Visual effects

Make sure you explain each component you choose in detail and defend your arguments with sources!

Be sure to write your paper in APA format citing the text when necessary. Include an abstract, introduction, body paragraphs, conclusion and reference page. The paper will be submitted to the Turnitin Dropbox on Canvas.

Criteria

I will deduct points for poor grammar, informality of expression, and failure to comply with APA style. If you dont have a manual, find an online style guide. If book is not used.

Dont be informal. Youre writing a paper, not a discussion. Dont offer opinions that sound like social media posts. Writing, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown had incredible performances! will get you points knocked off.

Use topic sentences. These are the first sentences of your paragraphs, the organizing ideas. For example: Thanks to its use of deep focus and Walter Murchs sound design, Apocalypse Now recreates the experience of barely surviving a war in Southeast Asia.

You must cite the Prince textbook and any relevant secondary sources. If you have seen movies to which you can compare The Four Hundred Blows and the other film of your choice, also cite them. Your paper will be richer if it demonstrates a familiarity with film as a cross-generational conversation.

Access

Several public libraries have these films available for checkout on DVD or Blu-ray. 

Netflix, Amazon, and other streaming services may offer them too.
