Application: Provide the following information and questions as you compose your analysis (3-4 paragraphs). Feel free to expand beyond these questions and topics.
Note: You do not need to address these questions directly, necessarily; use them as guides to your analysis. Bold or underline the specific terms you use from our course readings to analyze the commercials. Cite to the readings when using direct quotations.
Identify how the film focuses on pieces of the course (i.e., concepts, theories, ideas) we have covered so far. Describe and clarify the significance of each. Cite to where these pieces come from.
Relate the concepts, theories, or ideas to facts described in the film that impressed you and explain how each fact relates to the film’s premise or theme.
