Writing Assignment: Media Analysis
You are required to submit the FINAL copy of this assignment, but you may first submit an optional
DRAFT. This will allow you to receive qualitative feedback that can inform your revision. You should
always avoid focusing solely on the grader’s DRAFT feedback; use the feedback as a supplement to the
course lessons and your own revision ideas. Always expect to revise beyond what the DRAFT grader
specifically notes if you want to improve your score.
For this media analysis, you will analyze how one part affects the whole media production.
Note that you should select only a single piece of media; you should not be discussing more
than one film, for example. You should choose one1 of the following parts to explore:
Genre: Explain how the production you chose fits into its genre.
Camera: Analyze how the camera’s use (camera angles, for instance) affects the
overall production.
Lighting: Describe how lighting is used to enhance or detract from the production.
Actors/Characters: Analyze how the actors OR the characters themselves enhance or
detract from the production.
Symbols: Explain what the symbols are and how their usage affects the overall
production.
Music: Describe how the music enhances or detracts from the media production.
Sound Effects: Analyze how the sound effects enhance or detract from the
production.
Special Effects: Explain what special effects are used and how they affect the viewing
experience.
Comparison to a Literary Work: (Note: This option may only be chosen if the film you
chose is also in print form.) How are the book and film similar? How are they
different? Which is better, and why?
Your purpose in this assignment is to explain how or why something works; therefore, you
should not include a full summary of the media production. Instead, you can provide context
where needed so the reader understands what is happening. The body of the essay must

Please review the rubric and note that you will not earn full credit if you analyze more than one of these
components.
focus on your analysis. You can use the ideas contained in the Media Analysis lesson
presentation and the Writer’s Handbook link to help you.
As with all college writing, your essay should have a strong thesis statement in addition to an
introduction, body, and conclusion.
Other than your chosen film, television show, and/or book, you are required to cite at least
one other credible2 source for this essay. This resource from the course will help you
understand more about evaluating sources. Moreover, if you use specific information from
the media production and/or print source, such as a quotations, you should include your
chosen media source on your Works Cited page, too. Use proper parenthetical citations or
signal phrases, and be sure to include MLA documentation and a Works Cited page for this
assignment (this resource from the course will help).
Review the rubric to see how your work will be assessed on this assignment.
Thesis hints: You might use these guidelines in crafting your thesis:
If you are analyzing elements in a production:
In (add your one chosen production), (add character 1), (add character 2), and (add character 3) were
used to (add how they enhanced the production or explained the production’s message).
OR
If you are comparing/contrasting a book and film:
(Add book) contained (add one aspect that made the book better than the film), but (add film) used
(add one aspect that made the film better than the book) and (add a second aspect that made the
film better than the book) to better capture the reader’s imagination.
Here are more specific thesis guidelines:
If you are analyzing elements in a production:
In the movie The Lorax, the characters Lorax, Once-ler, and Alocius O'Hare were used to show how
environmentalists are fighting against profit-driven industries that are harming the environment and
depleting natural resources.
2
Please note: Basic dictionary sources, user-edited websites (e.g., Wikipedia, eHow, etc.), and sites that house
databases of quotations are not considered “credible” sources. You will lose points in the Research category of the
rubric if your sources aren’t credible.
OR
If you are comparing/contrasting a book and film:
Even though the characters were portrayed mostly the same across the book and the movie in
Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight, the setting in the movie was much more detailed, which made the movie
a much better overall experience compared to the book.
The guidelines for this assignment are as follows:
Length: This assignment should be at least 500 words.
Header: Include a header in the upper left-hand corner of your writing assignment with the
following information:
Your first and last name
Course Title (Composition II)
Assignment name (Media Analysis)

Odessa College Heredity Prenatal Development and Birth Discussion
I want to respond to two peers on nature vs, nurture;1. Nature and Nurture both play very important roles in a persons development , While nature is the one that is one that you are born with nurture can be seen as what you eventually become.For me nurture plays a bigger role because it sometimes modifies some of our developments that happened as a function of Nature. For example children born to obese parents do not necessarily have to turn out obese if properly nurtured with the right nutrition from inception.Our ability to want to strive for perfection and be a better person happen to be one of best features."one of the really important things to recognize is that we are the only animal in some sense capable of overcoming our evolution history, we can change our outcomes". This interesting piece in the article "one in three men have violence gene" by Elly Brown and John Dovan is proof that we have the power to overcome by seeking knowledge,picking up positive characters and setting the right goals. For instance even if you were born by alcohol addicts people will naturally assume you will be like your parents and maybe even violent but through conscious efforts it is possible that children born to such parents will rise above and turn out far better than children raised in a more balanced home.For me i believe nurture played a huge role in my development because even though i was born in a broken home i did not give up on marriage and even though my mum was not married for a long time she nurtured us to believe in the institution and put on on the right path molding my sister and i into wonderful mothers.2.While many factors can influence a person’s development, I believe nurture plays a bigger role than nature. For example, I have two boys, both live in the same house, same parents and have the same rules. My oldest however is very sensitive and fearful. Whereas my youngest is independent, fearless and far from sensitive. I believe these characteristics have a lot to do with the nurture side of their development in the early stages of infant through toddler. With my oldest son I was a very helicopter mom until my other son was born about three years later. I never allowed my oldest to get hurt or do things for himself. Which has led him to struggle with leaving my side. My youngest son however I did not helicopter. I let him try things for himself, get hurt and use his words to communicate. He is now a very active four-year-old that has no problem running off on the playground to play with other kids. Luckily, individuals do not have to stay where they are and can grow and develop throughout life. I found it interesting in the warrior gene article and video McDermott said, “One of the really important things to recognize is that we are the only animal in some sense capable of overcoming our evolutionary history. We can think about it. We can change our outcomes” (Brown and Donvan, 2010). As you see, we have a choice in our individual outcomes and how to handle everyday situations. When it comes to my development, I believe nurture had a huge part in it or lack thereof. My household growing up was very critical and strict. All things had to be perfect and never less than. Now in adulthood I struggle with being critical towards myself and wanting everything to be perfect. The only difference between my parents and myself is I see these issues and try to correct them they best way I can.

Discussion #3 PromptsDiscussion Question #1Sarah Kemble KnightThis is another narrative that is revealing of the lives of women in Early America, but it also tells us a lot about life for everyone in the early Colonial Age. It's interesting to read this not only for its illustration of the challenges facing an independent woman earlier in our history, but also that it reveals a very wild and unsettled America... where today we have roads and trains and planes, and no modern American woman would hesitate to travel even vast distances alone and unchaperoned...Kemble has a very different experience.She lives in a time when middle and upper-class women rarely traveled alone even in "civilized society" to do everyday tasks, much less to traverse the wilderness to conduct "business". (Of course, "lower-class" and frontier women often worked alone). But remember too, even most Men did not travel alone through the wilderness because it was too dangerous to do so. Here are some questions to explore and reply to...What did you think of her narrative? What did you find interesting in it?She does not travel alone though, and often she must wait upon another person in order to continue her trip. Why is this?Unlike Bradstreet and Rowlandson, Knight is not a Puritan, though she is a woman of New England, Boston. How is her text different, in this regard, than those we have read by these two earlier women? What parts of her narrative are similar?What is the purpose of this narrative, and who is the audience? Why did she write this text? who would have been interested in reading this and why? What did she want to do in writing it?What subjects does Kemble's narrative focus on? Which of the subjects of her narrative did you find most interesting? Why?What does Kemble's journey reveal to us about this period in American history? Remember, she is traveling through our region, and journeying to locations that are, for us, merely a few hours drive. In what might ways Kemble's narrative remind us of Rowlandson's text? Make a connection between these two narratives and explain it.Discussion Question #2de Crevecoeur and the AmericanThis text is, today, a bit controversial, as it underpins the traditional belief in "American Exceptionalism" and the concept of America as the "melting pot" of the world's peoples. Many writers and scholars today profoundly disagree with the argument de Crevecoeur promulgates, of the American being a mix of European nations. They argue that his vision helped create the racist attitudes that underpinned the institution of slavery, that led to the tragic treatment of the Native Americans, and caused the oppression of other minority groups in American history. To counter this idea, the modern notion of "multiculturalism" was created to argue for a more "inclusive" vision of American society. However, many everyday people of all backgrounds still find much value in de Crevecoeur's definition of an "American." One important thing to bear in mind is an idea we covered in Unit I, that at the start of European exploration and immigration to "America," the European peoples considered themselves different races. They spoke different languages, had different histories, and those histories extended back into the great conflicts of the Middle Ages, and even further to the Roman conquest. British identity, for instance, extended to the tribal past of pre-Roman Britain. (And it is interesting to think that Native Americans are to 17th century Europeans what the primitive Europeans tribes were to the Romans. In a sense, the Europeans in the New World are repeating what they learned from the Romans and from the conflicts of the Middle Ages.) Today, we commonly lump all Europeans together into one group, or all "White" people into one group. But the concept "White" is a political one, and its definition today reflects our modern context, which has been shaped by the arguments and conflicts concerning Race in America and of our shared national history. THEN, the meaning of this word did not share these modern definitions, and the differences between European groups could be very profound, and these differences are often left out of the discussion of American history. Here are some questions to explore and reply to...What is an "American" according to de Crevecoeur? Why does he claim the an American is a "new man"? In what ways is in an American "new"? Is de Crevecoeur's definition of an American limited only to Europeans, or is there more to it than that? Is there any part of it that is "multicultural"? What do you think of his definition today: how useful is it to us? According to this text, how is America settled and made civilized?What is the role of Nature in the settlement of America by Europeans?One of the things that de Crevecouer talks about is the setting aside of "ancient animosities" that Americans "choose" to do when they join "American" society. Explain his claim here: what are these "ancient animosities"? Why is it important to American society that these are removed? What role does nature have in removing them?Is de Crevecouer "arguing for" a specific definition, or vision, of America that he thinks or wants to be true? Or, is de Crevcouer observing what he sees, and drawing conclusions from these observations? That is, is he a propagandist or a scientific thinker? What's the difference?de Crevecouer explains how the concept and worship of "God" changes in the American Wilderness, in Nature? How does the European experience in adapting to Nature, change European attitudes about "God" and "religion"?Discussion Question #3Benjamin FranklinPerhaps the greatest and most popular American of all time, Benjamin Franklin is truly a unique and inspiring person. He is the ultimate Renaissance man: writer, diplomat, statesman, scientist, athlete, scholar, city planner, postman, and inventor. There are only a handful of human beings in history that can match the diversity and influence of his accomplishments. Tall, handsome, funny, and intelligent, to the European of his day, he symbolized America and "the American."It is not much of a stretch to argue that without Franklin, there would have been no America, and he is sometimes referred to as "the one indispensable man." He negotiated the end of the Revolution and helped to write the Treaty of Paris. He was also instrumental in the creation of the Continental Congress, he revised the Declaration of Independence, and he had a hand in just about every decision and agreement at the time of Revolution. To top it all off, he also the first American to publish results of a scientific experiment in the Transactions of the Royal Philosophical Society. (He was not the first to publish in the Transactions, however. Cotton Mather wrote an account of a freak blizzard in Feb-Mar of 1717 that covered parts of New England with over 4 feet of snow.)Don't forget to connect Franklin to "The Great Law." Be sure to take a look at it as part of your reading for this Thread. If you have the time and inclination, be sure to read his hilarious defense of Native American culture in his "Remarks Concerning the Savages"History is so neat.Here are some questions to explore and reply to...Who do you think is the audience for his Autobiography, not who does the Autobiography claim is the audience? And what do you think his purpose is? What parts of the text show his purpose?How does Franklin's life reveal a reliance on Human Reason? How does he use Reason to improve not only his own life, but society in general? How is this way of thinking different from that of Winthrop and the Puritans?Consider the episode that Franklin relates when he was "becalmed off Block Island." What does this episode reveal about the way that Franklin thinks? What does it reveal about the limits of Reason? Quote this part of the text. ExplainSome modern readers think that Franklin is a bit vain, maybe even arrogant, in the way he depicts his own success in life. At the same time, it is HIS Autobiography, and if there is any place it's okay to be proud of your accomplishments and blow your own horn a bit, it is this genre. And the thing is: he did A LOT of really important things! Take a moment outside this class, and search just a little on the web about Franklin. Find something he did that you 1) didn't know he was part of, and that 2) you think is pretty cool. Talk about that a bit.What does this Autobiography show about Franklin's individual program of education? What does Franklin think of education, books, reading, and language? How do these concerns direct his life from an early age?What part of Franklin did you enjoy the most?Long before Franklin helped to write the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, he assisted the Cherokee Tribe in publishing the Great Law (the Iroquois Constitution) in Cherokee. He then edited and printed the first English translation of the "Great Law." Today, some scholars note the similarities between parts of the Great Law and the US Constitution. What are those similarities? What do you think of this connection? If true, what would this imply about the influence of Native American culture and attitudes on American Democracy and society? How would this relate to de Crevecouer's claim? (The consensus of modern scholarship tends to not support this connection, however; but it is fun to consider!)Section 2 DirectionsFrom all the readings we have encountered so far, show a concrete example of a Neoclassical LITERARY reference or allusion. Do not show a general attitude.Here is an example that shows specific reference to the CLASSICAL AGE:In his "Autobiography," Franklin writes he "procur'd Xenophon's Memorable Things of Socrates" (477). Here's an example that just shows a general attitude:Franklin says he "sometimes disputed" with John Collins, "and very fond [they] were of Argument" (475).First review the Glossary entry on Neoclassicism. Then, beginning with a signal phrase, quote the exact language of the example, and include a correct in-text citation. Then explain the context of the quote and how it fulfills the definition of Neoclassicism.Your response should be about 3-5 sentences.You must complete Challenge Task #3 by the end of Module 3.RubricChallenge Task RubricChallenge Task RubricCriteriaRatingsPtsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeBasic Writing3 to >0.0 ptsRange0 ptsNo Marks3 ptsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeDocumentation3 to >0.0 ptsRange0 ptsNo Marks3 ptsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeContent4 to >0.0 ptsRange0 ptsNo Marks4 ptsTotal Points: 10Section 3 Module 3: Writing Assignment #3
Points 20 Submitting a file uploadDirectionsFor this assignment, compare the Christian world view of the Puritan writers (such as Rowlandson, Winthrop, and Bradstreet) to the Rational world view of Benjamin Franklin. After comparing, draw a conclusion about the way in which American thinking about Life and the World had begun to change by the time of Franklin.Your writing should have THREE parts.One part should focus on one or more Puritan writers: explain the "world view" and thinking process and show evidence from the text to illustrate the discussion.One part should focus on Franklin: explain his "world view "and thinking process and show evidence from his text to illustrate the discussionOne part should draw a conclusion by comparing the two (above) discussions: what does your analysis reveal about the difference between the way they think about the world? explain your conclusionYour writing should be about 350 or so words in length.

Discussion #3 PromptsDiscussion Question #1Sarah Kemble KnightThis is another narrative that is revealing of the lives of women in Early America, but it also tells us a lot about life for everyone in the early Colonial Age. It's interesting to read this not only for its illustration of the challenges facing an independent woman earlier in our history, but also that it reveals a very wild and unsettled America... where today we have roads and trains and planes, and no modern American woman would hesitate to travel even vast distances alone and unchaperoned...Kemble has a very different experience.She lives in a time when middle and upper-class women rarely traveled alone even in "civilized society" to do everyday tasks, much less to traverse the wilderness to conduct "business". (Of course, "lower-class" and frontier women often worked alone). But remember too, even most Men did not travel alone through the wilderness because it was too dangerous to do so. Here are some questions to explore and reply to...What did you think of her narrative? What did you find interesting in it?She does not travel alone though, and often she must wait upon another person in order to continue her trip. Why is this?Unlike Bradstreet and Rowlandson, Knight is not a Puritan, though she is a woman of New England, Boston. How is her text different, in this regard, than those we have read by these two earlier women? What parts of her narrative are similar?What is the purpose of this narrative, and who is the audience? Why did she write this text? who would have been interested in reading this and why? What did she want to do in writing it?What subjects does Kemble's narrative focus on? Which of the subjects of her narrative did you find most interesting? Why?What does Kemble's journey reveal to us about this period in American history? Remember, she is traveling through our region, and journeying to locations that are, for us, merely a few hours drive. In what might ways Kemble's narrative remind us of Rowlandson's text? Make a connection between these two narratives and explain it.Discussion Question #2de Crevecoeur and the AmericanThis text is, today, a bit controversial, as it underpins the traditional belief in "American Exceptionalism" and the concept of America as the "melting pot" of the world's peoples. Many writers and scholars today profoundly disagree with the argument de Crevecoeur promulgates, of the American being a mix of European nations. They argue that his vision helped create the racist attitudes that underpinned the institution of slavery, that led to the tragic treatment of the Native Americans, and caused the oppression of other minority groups in American history. To counter this idea, the modern notion of "multiculturalism" was created to argue for a more "inclusive" vision of American society. However, many everyday people of all backgrounds still find much value in de Crevecoeur's definition of an "American." One important thing to bear in mind is an idea we covered in Unit I, that at the start of European exploration and immigration to "America," the European peoples considered themselves different races. They spoke different languages, had different histories, and those histories extended back into the great conflicts of the Middle Ages, and even further to the Roman conquest. British identity, for instance, extended to the tribal past of pre-Roman Britain. (And it is interesting to think that Native Americans are to 17th century Europeans what the primitive Europeans tribes were to the Romans. In a sense, the Europeans in the New World are repeating what they learned from the Romans and from the conflicts of the Middle Ages.) Today, we commonly lump all Europeans together into one group, or all "White" people into one group. But the concept "White" is a political one, and its definition today reflects our modern context, which has been shaped by the arguments and conflicts concerning Race in America and of our shared national history. THEN, the meaning of this word did not share these modern definitions, and the differences between European groups could be very profound, and these differences are often left out of the discussion of American history. Here are some questions to explore and reply to...What is an "American" according to de Crevecoeur? Why does he claim the an American is a "new man"? In what ways is in an American "new"? Is de Crevecoeur's definition of an American limited only to Europeans, or is there more to it than that? Is there any part of it that is "multicultural"? What do you think of his definition today: how useful is it to us? According to this text, how is America settled and made civilized?What is the role of Nature in the settlement of America by Europeans?One of the things that de Crevecouer talks about is the setting aside of "ancient animosities" that Americans "choose" to do when they join "American" society. Explain his claim here: what are these "ancient animosities"? Why is it important to American society that these are removed? What role does nature have in removing them?Is de Crevecouer "arguing for" a specific definition, or vision, of America that he thinks or wants to be true? Or, is de Crevcouer observing what he sees, and drawing conclusions from these observations? That is, is he a propagandist or a scientific thinker? What's the difference?de Crevecouer explains how the concept and worship of "God" changes in the American Wilderness, in Nature? How does the European experience in adapting to Nature, change European attitudes about "God" and "religion"?Discussion Question #3Benjamin FranklinPerhaps the greatest and most popular American of all time, Benjamin Franklin is truly a unique and inspiring person. He is the ultimate Renaissance man: writer, diplomat, statesman, scientist, athlete, scholar, city planner, postman, and inventor. There are only a handful of human beings in history that can match the diversity and influence of his accomplishments. Tall, handsome, funny, and intelligent, to the European of his day, he symbolized America and "the American."It is not much of a stretch to argue that without Franklin, there would have been no America, and he is sometimes referred to as "the one indispensable man." He negotiated the end of the Revolution and helped to write the Treaty of Paris. He was also instrumental in the creation of the Continental Congress, he revised the Declaration of Independence, and he had a hand in just about every decision and agreement at the time of Revolution. To top it all off, he also the first American to publish results of a scientific experiment in the Transactions of the Royal Philosophical Society. (He was not the first to publish in the Transactions, however. Cotton Mather wrote an account of a freak blizzard in Feb-Mar of 1717 that covered parts of New England with over 4 feet of snow.)Don't forget to connect Franklin to "The Great Law." Be sure to take a look at it as part of your reading for this Thread. If you have the time and inclination, be sure to read his hilarious defense of Native American culture in his "Remarks Concerning the Savages"History is so neat.Here are some questions to explore and reply to...Who do you think is the audience for his Autobiography, not who does the Autobiography claim is the audience? And what do you think his purpose is? What parts of the text show his purpose?How does Franklin's life reveal a reliance on Human Reason? How does he use Reason to improve not only his own life, but society in general? How is this way of thinking different from that of Winthrop and the Puritans?Consider the episode that Franklin relates when he was "becalmed off Block Island." What does this episode reveal about the way that Franklin thinks? What does it reveal about the limits of Reason? Quote this part of the text. ExplainSome modern readers think that Franklin is a bit vain, maybe even arrogant, in the way he depicts his own success in life. At the same time, it is HIS Autobiography, and if there is any place it's okay to be proud of your accomplishments and blow your own horn a bit, it is this genre. And the thing is: he did A LOT of really important things! Take a moment outside this class, and search just a little on the web about Franklin. Find something he did that you 1) didn't know he was part of, and that 2) you think is pretty cool. Talk about that a bit.What does this Autobiography show about Franklin's individual program of education? What does Franklin think of education, books, reading, and language? How do these concerns direct his life from an early age?What part of Franklin did you enjoy the most?Long before Franklin helped to write the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, he assisted the Cherokee Tribe in publishing the Great Law (the Iroquois Constitution) in Cherokee. He then edited and printed the first English translation of the "Great Law." Today, some scholars note the similarities between parts of the Great Law and the US Constitution. What are those similarities? What do you think of this connection? If true, what would this imply about the influence of Native American culture and attitudes on American Democracy and society? How would this relate to de Crevecouer's claim? (The consensus of modern scholarship tends to not support this connection, however; but it is fun to consider!)Section 2 DirectionsFrom all the readings we have encountered so far, show a concrete example of a Neoclassical LITERARY reference or allusion. Do not show a general attitude.Here is an example that shows specific reference to the CLASSICAL AGE:In his "Autobiography," Franklin writes he "procur'd Xenophon's Memorable Things of Socrates" (477). Here's an example that just shows a general attitude:Franklin says he "sometimes disputed" with John Collins, "and very fond [they] were of Argument" (475).First review the Glossary entry on Neoclassicism. Then, beginning with a signal phrase, quote the exact language of the example, and include a correct in-text citation. Then explain the context of the quote and how it fulfills the definition of Neoclassicism.Your response should be about 3-5 sentences.You must complete Challenge Task #3 by the end of Module 3.RubricChallenge Task RubricChallenge Task RubricCriteriaRatingsPtsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeBasic Writing3 to >0.0 ptsRange0 ptsNo Marks3 ptsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeDocumentation3 to >0.0 ptsRange0 ptsNo Marks3 ptsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeContent4 to >0.0 ptsRange0 ptsNo Marks4 ptsTotal Points: 10Section 3 Module 3: Writing Assignment #3
