Assignment
For this paper, your task is to choose an object of study from the media topics we’ve discussed (Film, TV, Internet, or Video Games) and write a 1200-1500 word essay in which you examine and explain the significance of this object as it relates to the broader media landscape, and/or to the society in which it was produced.
You may choose a film or series of films, a TV series (or an episode or two), a video game, a YouTube video or series, or anything else that interests you. The essay should include 3-5 secondary sources.
Use these resources together with the knowledge you’ve gained from the class to forge a better understanding of how the text you’ve chosen fits into a broader media or societal context.
Your paper should quote liberally from both your sources as a means of providing evidence for your paper.
