Option 1:
The American Dream lecture in Week 1 points out that
Poor Richard’s Almanac
was an annual publication that included calendar lists, home
recipes, weather forecasts etc. What made Franklin’s almanac
unlike other almanacs was the inclusion of Franklin’s witty
parables and humorous writings. Franklin proposes in “The
Way to Wealth” that anyone who works hard, avoids debt, and
works toward attaining a virtuous character can be successful
and ultimately wealthy—that the American Dream is accessible
to all.
Watch either
The Color Purple
or
The Great Gatsby
(locate the films using Netflix, Amazon, or your local library)
and argue why or why not Franklin’s assertions are correct.
Provide examples from the film and your own explanations to
support your assertions.
Your will have two choices for your thesis statement:
As is evident in the film
The Color Purple
(or
The Great Gatsby
), Franklin’s assertion that the American Dream is available to
all people is incorrect because _________, ___________, and
_________ (you will determine three points in support of your
thesis, and those will become the topics of your three body
paragraphs).
