Post for November 1

Hello All,

This post should be easy (if you were in class on Friday): post your thesis statement for your film analysis.

On Monday, bring your introduction (at a minimum, for you can always write more) to class.

On Wednesday, we'll have a short workshop on transitions, and then we'll spend the rest of the time writing (or revising) your film analyses; the final drafts of those analyses will be due on Friday.

Take care, and have a Happy Halloween !

    Finding the center, one’s identity, is challenging for all, but to wake up as Jason Bourne, not knowing you are Jason Bourne is a mystery in itself. As the film, "The Bourne Identity" conveys, the journey in life has many obstacles; however, the hardest is not only finding oneself, but accepting oneself.

The film uses the archetypes abolition of norms, profane vs. sacred, road to center, and individuation to depict the theme of “one life”.
