The essay is about friendship please read it. I will include a draft of my essay, please expand on it to make it at least 1,200 words and no more than 1,500 words and fix any mistakes. Here is some of the feed back I got from my professor from my first draft:
The paper has a lot of potential, but we need to decide on a main focus. Right now it discusses aspects of friendships, generally, but then it goes into classifying types of friends. It will need to decide on which to focus on. It could classify friendships and then discuss in each how they are different in the areas mentioned already. For example, communication may be different with close versus casual friendships. 
I will include more screenshots of feedback.
Required
Works Cited page in MLA format.
Final essay length will be longer than 1,200 words and no more than 1,500 words.

based off short story called “Fun Home” by Bechdel. I chose to dig deeper through the Marxist lens using terms like proletariat, bourgeois and false consciousness and then analyzing how it’s used throughout the story. below is an image of how the teacher preferred us how to set it up and then analyze afterwards. you can use the quotes below and maybe clean them up so it’s not the same buildup into it. could also find the “same place,same things quote to help explain build the Marxist lens. MLA format. thank you so much!

For this assignment, you must respond to Father Paneloux’s sermon to his congregation, his first sermon about the plague in Oran, in Albert Camus’ The Plague. Do not focus solely on the whole work, but focus on how the book invites you into this sermon. Where were your expectations about Father Paneloux’s sermon? How do his words affect not only the churchgoers but also you?
Remember, your introduction must have a one-sentence summary of the work (including the full name of the author and the full title of the work) and your thesis (your argument on Paneloux’s sermon). You must solely use the text as support.

This assignment is for a writing intesive course, evaluation of criteria and discussion of examples are expected for each writing portion. Sources that will be referenced are Green Metropolis, Cool it, Island President and The Power of the Poor. 

In your introductory paragraph,
Identify your selected film, including writer, director, year of release, and genre.
Example: Oppenheimer, a biographical, historical drama, was written and directed by Christopher Nolan, and released in July, 2023.
Summarize the film in which you apply your knowledge of the difference between the film’s story and its plot.
Tip: review your Week 1 Discussion post and think about everything you now know about story and plot.
Describe one of the broad theories you have learned about in class (auteur theory, genre theory, formalist theory) that you will use to analyze your film in this paper.
Tip: review Film: From Watching to Seeing for a refresher on film theory.
Example: Auteur theory is the systematic approach to understanding the complex role of the director in some, but not all, films. According to Goodykoontz, et. al (2022), “When applied to film directing, auteur theory posits that the director is indeed the author of the film, imprinting it with his or her personal vision.”
Develop a thesis statement that describes how the specific elements of your chosen film work together to communicate themes relating to a particular social issue.
Tip: visit the Writing a Thesis StatementLinks to an external site. resource from the UAGC Writing Center.
Example: Nope (2022) is the third film from auteur director Jordan Peele, and breaks the mold of the UFO horror trope by using a predominantly black cast, which draws further attention to ideas of self and other, while foregrounding the black experience in an otherwise classic cinematic spectacle.
In the body of your paper,
Analyze your selected film using one of the broad theories you have learned about in class (auteur theory, genre theory, formalist theory).
Tip: use at least one paragraph to give an overview of how your chosen theoretical lens serves an analysis of your chosen film. In subsequent paragraphs continue to draw connections between your close analysis and the theory.
Evaluate the use of three specific techniques and design elements employed in the film as they contribute to the overarching narrative, theme, and social commentary of your chosen film. This can include elements of mise-en-scène (e.g., lighting, sound, composition of frame, costuming, etc.) and editing (e.g., cuts and transitions, shots used, angles, etc.).
Tip: here’s where you can bring in pieces from your Week 2 and Week 3 Assignments.
Tip: dive deeper into a scene or scenes, describing what happens and how. Focus on the techniques used and describe how and why they contribute to specific themes so you can draw detailed and direct connections between visual/thematic elements and your chosen film theory.
Describe the ways in which your chosen film has impacted society or how it has called attention to a particular social issue (i.e., politically or culturally, positive or negative).
Tip: this is a key point of your paper and you’ve likely already begun to address it in Week 2 and Week 3 Assignments. Think about what your chosen film tells us about society—class, race, gender, violence, climate—and whether it is effective in making its argument. Explain why this cause is important for people to know, to think about, and to choose whether or not to take a stand. Does it serve as a call to action?
In the conclusion of your paper,
Draw connections between each element of your chosen film and how they contribute to the film’s overall stance on a particular social issue, if it is effective in doing so, and why addressing this issue is necessary to society.
Tip: your conclusion should restate your thesis and remind the reader which specific examples demonstrate how your chosen serves as an exemplar of your chosen film theory and remind us why a film’s social resonance is an important part of cultural engagement.
