Question Description
Compose a 1,200-word (give or take 100), thesis-driven, analytical paper on psychoanalysis and race; use a quote or concept from Frantz Fanon’s “Black Skins, White Masks” in an analysis of films Night of the Living Dead and/or Get Out.
It is advisable to watch again the scenes you discuss in your paper—be precise and detailed in your discussion of the movie. Find a useful list of the cast and their character names at the IMDB online.
This is an ‘analytical’ essay – avoid broad summary by focusing on key moments/scenes. While it may be helpful to include a little summary, keep this to a minimum (1-2 sentences); you may assume your reader is familiar with the movie. Discuss specific lines and details.
Your paper must follow MLA format guideline (available online).
Your paper will be graded for its the focus of its thesis, the selection and handling of quotes, the accuracy, precision, and subtlety of the interpretation, the organization and flow of its analyses, the aptness and insight of its argument, and the clarity and concision of its prose style.
