Project description
Reaction Paper 3
For the last Paper, you will examine one of the films weve viewed late in the semester: Pariah or Mask. If you choose Pariah, you will be discussing intersections of race, class, and sexuality and their impact on you, personally, as a viewer. If you choose Mask, you will be discussing intersections of race, class, and disability and their impact on you, personally, as a viewer.
The task is an opportunity for you to show your reader how you engage with your chosen movie, and what that engagement says about you. As with the first two essays, you must use specific, vivid examples from the movie you choose examples that are relevant to and illustrative of race, class, and sexuality OR disability.
The main difference between Reaction Paper 3 and your first two essays is that you are free to explore meanings that the movie has for you, while continuing to develop your skills of discussing intersectionality in American film.
The writing exercise is meant to have many possibilities. For example, you could write about what you learned about race, class, and sexuality OR disability by watching the movie. You could discuss the emotional impact of the movie on you aspects of the movie (e.g., narrative, visual, formal) that saddened you, angered you, amused you, inspired you, motivated you, disturbed you, and more. You could discuss how you identified, or did not identify, with one or more characters.
You may not use sources other than (1) your movie choice; (2) America on Film textbook; (3) Race, Class, and Gender textbook.
You must quote from or paraphrase (2) or (3), or both, to support your argument in Essay 3.
Formatting
Each Reaction Paper should be 900-1200 words (3-4 pages double-spaced).
Citations: Be sure to cite your movie and your text sources with MLA formatting, and include a Works Cited at the end (it doesnt have to be on a separate sheet). In-text example (direct quote): It has been argued that Americans have come to understand that the Constitution is a living document, one that can be and has been changed to encompass a wider meaning of equality (Benshoff and Griffin 6). Author name given prior to direct quote: Benshoff and Griffin have argued that Americans have come to understand that the Constitution is a living document, one that can be and has been changed encompass a wider meaning of equality (6). In-text example (paraphrase) – From an historical perspective, its clear that the Constitution is a living document whose meanings have changed over time (Benshoff and Griffin 6).
Grading
For each Paper, I will grade you on your effective, thorough answering of the prompts (identity categories, your personal/emotional reactions to the film), plus Intro/Conclusion, in the 3-4 pages allotted. Your content (argument/evidence) is most important; grammar/style is secondary, though you must write clearly enough that I understand the argument
