Title: The Dual Critique of American Capitalism and Hollywood in The Bad and the Beautiful
Choose one (1) film and write an essay of approximately 1,700 words or seven doubled-spaced pages. The films are available at the film Library or possibly online.
Hello,
I am enclosing essay topics for the major paper. If possible, I would like a double-spaced hard copy of your paper submitted in class next Monday, May 6. You can refer to an article(s) found in the course kit. Please note the usage.
The essay should be approximately 1,7000 words.
1) Discuss Robert Rossen’s Body and Soul as a critique of the American success story and, by implication, its dependence on capitalist enterprise. Consider the relevance of the film’s opening scene, in which Charlie Davis/John Garfield calls out to Ben/Canada Lee. Discuss the function of the film’s principle female characters. Is the film’s ‘happy ending’ justified?
2) Using Andre Bazin’s “The Evolution of Film Language” (course Kit) discuss Elia Kazan’s Panic in the Streets as an example of ‘realist’ filmmaking. Focusing on Dr. Clinton Reed/Richard Widmark, discuss the the film’s portrait of American life in both its pubic and private sectors. Can Dr. Reed be considered a hero figure in the traditional sense of the classical cinema? 3) Consider Robin Wood’s auteurist reading and Margaret Tarratt’s genre reading of Christian Nyby/Howard Hawks’ The Thing from Another World (1951) (course Kit). Are the two articles compatible when constructing a critical reading of the film? The Thing is a product of the Cold War. Does that make it a reactionary film?
4) Discuss Leo McCarey’s My Son use of the nuclear family as a means to address American values. How coherent is the film in what it’s saying?
5) Vincente Minnelli’s The Bad and the Beautiful, a film about Hollywood and the studio system, was released at a time during which the industry was struggling financially and as a cultural institution. What do you consider to be the film’s attitude towards its subject matter? CHOOSE ONE PLZ -
“The American Dream and Work Culture in Ling Ma’s Convenience Store Woman” Exploring the Sociohistorical Commentary of American Society in [Text] by [Author] “Uncovering Misunderstandings: A Critique of American Society through Biographical and Historical Research” “Improving Writing Skills: Addressing Common Errors and Mastering MLA Formatting”
I chose to do the conviencence store woman by Ling Ma
From the syllabus: “Examine an author’s or playwright’s critique of American society in their work through methodical research.”
This essay asks you to research one of our texts and examine it through an historical or biographical approach. Find in one of our readings a topic related to American society, American work culture, and/or the American Dream and examine how the author/playwright explores that topic through that work of literature.
“Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.”
― C.S. Lewis
Directions
Literature is not just to entertain, but also to instruct. For the purposes of this essay, you’ll research and argue how the concerns authors/playwrights have about American society can be expressed through works of literature. All societies have problems, areas their citizens find irritating, hurtful, or dangerous; for this essay, make an historical or biographical assertion about the author with regard to their critique of American society, American work culture, and/or the American Dream.
Choose a story from our class (on which you have yet to write) and, through research, seek out biographical or historical information that helps you explain what issue the author/playwright was writing about and whether or not their work inspired any change. For this project, you will need to research an issue or problem with American society, American work culture and/or the American Dream; examine the author’s/playwright’s relationship with that issue or problem; explain how the story addresses it; and, finally, discover the lasting cultural impact of their work.
It helps to take a positive interest in your writing, so consider choosing a text that genuinely interests you and about whose author/playwright you’d like to know more. Perhaps you might write on the creator’s style, use of literary devices, movements in which she/he took part, social or cultural impact, lasting legacy, controversies he or she faced, or any other number of contributing factors to his/her body of work. This essay has a goal of analyzing the text through the discipline of history, either cultural or biographical (or both), so be sure address at least one major historical question in your analysis. A good strategy is to answer a few questions that seem most relevant, but are part of a larger, well-constructed essay.
In addition to providing textual evidence from the primary source, you must support your analysis with credible secondary sources. Synthesize into your argument the ideas of others: think critically about them, analyze their value, then use these ideas to support your own thesis. Demonstrate the authority and value of these sources within your essay itself. A minimum of four (4) quality secondary sources—in addition to the primary source—are required, including:
At least two (2) academic (or peer-reviewed) sources, such as journal articles or textbooks
At least one (1) popular source, such as a news periodical or a reputable book review
One additional credible source of your own choosing
Explain to the reader the credentials of those you incorporate into your essay, and provide context for their inclusion in your work. If you have questions about what constitutes an academic or popular source, please don’t hesitate to bring them to me.

_______________________________________
This research essay should:
open with an introduction that [1] catches the reader’s attention, [2] provides a historical or biographical context for understanding the essay (the text, its author, and your stance on the piece), and culminates in an explicit thesis statement making a claim about the author/playwright and their exploration of an issue or problem with American society
expound on the thesis by
supporting with logic your interpretive stance of the work’s sociohistorical commentary
identifying in the primary text evidence which illustrates or otherwise supports your interpretation
incorporating credible support for your argument from your research
organize those examples and research in paragraphs where you explain their connection to your thesis, providing details that help the reader understand your position
conclude satisfactorily, with what might be a lesson learned, or concluding argument, but is never a summation of the whole essay
mention the title and author(s) or creator(s) of any referenced work (including MLA documentation–9th ed.)
adhere to the Written Assignment Formatting GuidelinesLinks to an external site. (pdf via Drive)

Ask yourself the following questions for essay development (though you needn’t answer each of these):
What elements of the biography of the author adds to or alters your interpretation of the text?
Are you able to detect any underlying philosophy held by the author (i.e. Romanticism, Victorianism, Populism, Christianity, etc.)? If so, how does this philosophy affect the presentation of the text?
What was the author’s purpose or intent in writing the text? Were they successful?
What were the common themes present in the text and how did they fit within the context of the time it was written? What do the chosen themes demonstrate the author’s time, place, purpose, or argument?
What was the social context of the text? What are the elements of the time in which it was written? What else was happening during that time?
Have historical events that have occurred as time has passed since the writing and publication of that text added weight or changed the context of the tale?

“Black Women in the Catholic Church: Exploring Intersectionality, Identity, and Resistance in the Context of Sexuality and Morality”
develop a research agenda and write a 12-15 page paper. This research project centers on the experiences of Black women within the Catholic Church, investigating their roles, perspectives, and challenges within the context of Catholic teachings on sexuality and morality. Through an intersectional lens that considers the interplay of race, gender, and faith, the study aims to illuminate how Black women navigate and negotiate their identities and beliefs within the Catholic tradition. By exploring the ways in which Black women engage with and potentially resist dominant narratives surrounding sexuality and morality, the research seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexities of both religious identity and social justice within the Catholic Church. Through qualitative inquiry and analysis, this project seeks to amplify the voices and experiences of Black women in the Catholic community, shedding light on their contributions and struggles in shaping the ethical landscape of their faith.
