Essays / Media Evaluation Argument Essay/ Masculinity [4]
I am currently writing a thesis driven evaluative essay that defines the stakes of a particular argumentative issue and supports a specific position using evidence from the essay and outside sources. It's 5-7 pages long, not including the required "Works Cited" page.
Masculinity is what I'm incorporating into my thesis. I am using the film Tombstone. I created a topic sentence using society's view of masculinity today. My three points are: men in Tombstone are the leaders of the home, men in Tombstone are leaders and the men in Tombstone have incredible work ethics. I have a 2-3 page topic paper that I wrote using examples from Tombstone. I'm now suppose to write a 3-4 page rough draft evaluation of my film. Explain the film's rhetorical strategies-using Aristotelian and/or Toulmin modes of analysis. What kind of argument does the film make about society? Does the film speak to the intended audiences? WHy, or how? Does the film succeed in making its arguement? Use specific examples from the film to support your main arguement-as I will be making a distinct claim about the film. Use quotes from outside sources to support your opinion. HELP! Where do I start???
