Description
Option 1: A 3-4 page paper (Times New Roman, double spaced) that that makes an argument regarding a film or game of your choice. You will choose a work which features a prominent animal character(s), and demonstrate how the work would be altered thematically if that animal character was, instead, human. (Or, the reverse: what if a human character was, instead, an animal?) You may write about something we have viewed/played in class, or something from outside of class.This is harder than it sounds: I’m asking you to write about the themes of the work you choose, which means you need to be able to construct an argument about it as it already exists, and then be able to modify that argumentE.g: What if the horses in Nope were human? What if Balthazar was a person?1-2 sources need to be cited (and engaged with meaningfully – meaning that you do not simply pluck a quote from 1-2 readings, but instead summarize the relevant points of the reading’s argument and how they contribute to your own.)
