Homework: Wednesday, 1st October

Hi!

I hope you had a nice Founders' Day weekend!

Now that you have chosen your media texts, you need to write a paragraph explaining why you have chosen those texts and what kinds of things you can comment on in your essay.

Example:

For this assignment I have chosen to compare the films Slumdog Millionaire and Sherlock Holmes. I chose these two films because they have slightly different portrayals of gender: in Sherlock Holmes, the two main male characters are quite stereotypical, however, Holmes also uses his brain more than a classic action hero would. The main female character Irene is also strong and can look after herself. Slumdog Millionaire shows the female as the classic fairy tale princess trapped in a metaphorical tower and has to be rescued by Jamal, who not a classic male stereotype as he is skinny and prefers to use his brain to solve problems.
