Take Home Final Paper Your final paper will be a 5 – 7 page paper. The basis of this paper will be a comparative analysis of three films. The majority of this paper should discuss the ways in which the three films that you have chosen will relate to each other (either in similarity or in contrast) and to the major themes of the class. How to do the paper: 1) Choose your movies : Choose one movie from each of the three main sections of the “Supplemental Film List” that can be found at the end of the syllabus. Think carefully about your selection so that the movies will have some relationship to each other and thus facilitate some meaningful of comparison. You may choose a movie that you have already wrote about during the semester or one that we have not watched in its entirety during class time. You may also choose a movie that in not on the “Supplemental Film List,” but it MUST be APPROVED by me in ADVANCE of writing the paper so that I am sure it will fit within the lists’ parameters.
