Film Question

Compare and/or contrast two of the films from below.  For example, one film might be far from Jewish identity/culture and the comparison film might be solidly about Jewish identity/culture. Be precise in your allusions to films and reading material within your paper.  State your objective in your first paragraph and proceed using clear thoughts. Give evidence rather than generalize.  Proofread your paper for logic, spelling, and grammar.  Avoid summarizing of film plots.  Make your concluding paragraph concise, definite, and connected to your strongest points.  Straying from essay prompt or late submission will mean a high penalty. If using citations, place them on the last essay page.
