Below is a set of suggested steps for completing each of the essay: 1) Read the readings listed under the heading “Required Sources” for the topic you have chosen. The first reading in each list is a chapter from our textbook. Each of the other readings is available in the “content” section of D2L. 2) Watch the required movie for the topic you have chosen and take notes, drawing on the outline provided for your chosen topic in the “content” section of D2L and the readings mentioned above in Step 1. A VHS copy of the required movie for each topic is on 2-hour reserve at the Miller Center Circulation Desk. You may also rent the required movie from a video store or from Netflix if you prefer. 3) Review the essay on Double Indemnity available under the heading “sample essay” in the content section of D2L. The essay provides an example of how to organize and format your paper. 4) Write an organized, detailed five-page analysis of how the film you have chosen illustrates the points made in the outline and the readings that correspond to your topic. Please incorporate observations from your notes that support these points. Writing multiple drafts will help you refine the quality of your argument and address all of the points raised in the outline. Page six of your essay should be a bibliography that cites your sources in the format provided under each topic below. Please do not use fan-based websites such as Wikipedia. Please keep a hard copy of the essay you turn in. Please also retain the graded essay that is returned to you. No late essays will be accepted. Please analyze only the required film in your essay.
