Write an 800-900-word essay. No secondary sources are necessary for this essay.

This essay should be properly formatted according to MLA standards. As this calls for an argumentative essay, it should contain a few important features:

1) First paragraph should put forward a central argumentative point in the form of a thesis statement;

2) Body paragraphs should argue in support of premises that work to reinforce your central argumentative claim;

3) Body paragraphs should include quotations from the primary text (the film, novel, or essay you have been asked a question about) that are analyzed to show how they reinforce the argumentative claims you are making.
