Movie name: As it is in heave(2005, Kay Pollak, Sweden)
The essay should be at least 3 full pages but no more than 5 full pages. It must be double spaced and in 12 point Times New Roman font.
Choose ONE of the films watched in Week 11, Week 13, or Week 14 (remember, Week 12 class was canceled due to election night) to focus on for this assignment. Write an analysis of the issues found in the movie you chose by examining 2-4 different themes in depth. Your content grade will be based on your ability to expand on aspects of planning or related issues in your own words. Be sure to include AT LEAST one reference to a class reading in your analysis. Make sure you properly cite any sources your paper references. We expect both a works cited page and in-text citations. In the same way you would use a quote or idea from a class reading, use scenes from the film as examples of your chosen planning, or related, issues. DO NOT write a summary of the film, discuss symbolism, or describe the characters in detail. Assume the reader has seen the movie. When you need to refer to a scene from the film in order to make your point, you should describe the scene in no more than one sentence.
