film101/ film analysis/discussion 2 complete paragraph

You do not need to respond to all the readings for a given class, as long as your comments reveal a
strong and in-depth reading of one of the texts. Commenting on two texts for a particular class is
considered one post.

In approximately two paragraphs, cover some of the following:

1. What is the main or central argument?
2. How does the author make this argument? (Working through specific examples, and/or other
   authors and their terms and concepts?)
3. What are the key terms, concepts, or distinctions used in this argument?
4. In what ways is/are the argument/s or particular claim/s surprising, counterintuitive, or perhaps
   even problematic?
5. How might we see parallels to contemporary examples or issues?
6. In what ways might the author’s claims require a reexamination or response?
