Paper details:
This essay (1800-2000 words) should be based on exactly two scholarly journal articles that make an
analytical argument*, and exactly one film (which could be a feature film. a documentary. or even a short
television clip, e.g., found on YouTube). The assignment as described below is highly specific, and you should
do exactly what the assignment asks.
Your task is very straightforward: you should write an analytical essay that compares the arguments or
approaches in the three sources. You may explain how they disagree with each other. or how they
complement/ supplement each other, whichever is appropriate. But in any case, it is your job to make the
three sources relate to each other. You need to make explicit comparisons, not just write three unconnected
summaries.
Your essay should have all of the normal components: an introduction stating what the topic is and what you
will argue (i.e.. what is your thesis); well-connected and well- organized paragraphs; and a conclusion that
summarizes your main points.
