The essay must follow the structure and citation style taught in the previous English class and include an introduction, 6 paragraphs comparing the selected aspects of the two movies point-by-point, and references cited in APA style. The assignment will be graded based on understanding of the prompt, exploration of assessed elements, quality of writing and information presentation.
