Disaster Unpreparedness in World War Z

The Movie is : World War Z please see the following uploaded papers. and edit it to make it perfect. Please read the prompt I am dragging to give you a picture on how the essay should contain. More over, there are 2 other papers from the professor that show his comments on the essay. Please give me your best shot. This assignment is to identify one (1) argument demonstrated by the film about an important issue in real life society and explain how the film makes the argument using examples from the film, reference to ethos, pathos, and/or logos, and a little outside research. Additionally, you must apply this argument to real life.

Prompt:

Your assignment is to identify one (1) argument demonstrated by the film about an important issue in real life society and explain how the film makes the argument using examples from the film, reference to ethos, pathos, and/or logos, and a little outside research. This argument does not necessarily have to be explicit. For instance, some films, such as Django Unchained, demonstrating many issues about slavery, have more overt themes and arguments, than say, Iron Man 3. Also, the argument you identify need not be an argument the writers/directors intended. For example, you could argue that Zero Dark Thirty glorifies torture. On the flipside, you could argue that Zero Dark Thirty is showing the horrors and unreliability of torture.

Additionally, you must apply this argument to real life. For example, I’m not very concerned with an argument about how you think the sci-fi aspects of Star Trek work. Rather, I would want to know what the film is saying about society through its use of sci-fi elements. As long as you can identify an argument, support your findings with examples from the film, and apply it to real life, everything is fair game.

What if you don’t like what’s on list?

If you feel strongly about a topic other than one of the films, I am open to letting you apply a similar technique from the above prompt to another piece of popular culture such as a song or songs, an episode of a television program, a book, a comic, a commercial, or simply a different film than what I have listed. My only stipulation is that I must approve the topic, and it must have been released/dropped/published on or after January 1^st 2012.

Rules and Regulations for Essay #3:

• No more than three (3) students will be able to write about the same movie, so be sure to choose 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd choices for when we choose topics (date to be announced).
• Each paper must make reference to two (2) rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, logos) that the movie makes. It doesn’t matter where or when you make reference these appeals, but you must show how the movie makes its argument in this aspect.
• Remember, when analyzing and evaluating the argument in the film, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE FILM IS GOOD OR NOT. I have placed some more-or-less horrible films on the list because of their cultural impact rather than their cinematic quality.
• While writing the essay, assume that your audience HAS SEEN THE FILM. While you will still need to explain parts of the movie in order to show how it makes its argument, there is no need for extensive plot summary. Feel free to reference any characters by name and skip major plot points that don’t pertain to your topic. Describe the movie in detail, but do so only when it is necessary to understand the argument.
• When identifying the argument within the film, you DO NOT HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE MOVIE. For instance, I could say that Don Jon argues for that pornography is good, even if I think it is terrible.
• Each final draft should reach a minimum of five (5) pages.
• Each essay must make reference to at least two (2) outside sources. All sources must be credible, relevant, and cited correctly both in-text and in a correctly-formatted works cited page. At least one (1) of your sources must be about the real-life topic to which your argument relates, with no mention of the movie at all. (I.e., if you are writing about mental illness in Silver Linings Playbook, one source must be about mental illness alone, not the movie). You may use reviews, news articles, or statistics regarding the movie itself for your second source if you so desire (though it’s not required).
• All essays must be typed, in MLA format, with a corresponding works cited page.
• The essay is not a narrative. Try to avoid first-hand examples unless they pertain directly to how you interpret the film and/or the subject about which it makes its argument. In some cases, however, personal and first-hand examples are acceptable, but they should not take the place of outside sources. Use of first person words, such as “I,” “me,” or “my,” is acceptable, but should be used sparingly.
• Avoid using the word “you” at all costs, unless you are addressing your reader DIRECTLY. Do not use it to describe people “in general.”
