I want to write about the music video WAP by cardi b and Megan thee stallion<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

Background: <\/span><\/span>We have been reading about our pop media and the messages it sends us about our culture, and we have read about the misinformation we get about sex from both our education system and the pop media that surrounds us. Now, it is time for you to apply these ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assignment: <\/span><\/span>Choose a specific pop media production (movie, TV episode, song, book, etc) and analyze the message it sends about sex in our culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing a Topic:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    \uf0a0  <\/span>Your topic should be ONE specific product of pop media<\/span>\u2013<\/span>something you have already viewed or read<\/span>\u2013that you feel<\/span> comfortable digging deep into and carefully analyzing. You should be focusing on <\/span><\/span>sex, sexuality, or gender. <\/span><\/span>Choose a <\/span><\/span>text\/subject that interests you, as you\u2019ll be spending a lot of time with it. Analysis always requires multiple instances <\/span><\/span>of exposure to the text.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    \uf0a0  <\/span>You\u2019ll likely get more range from a text that bugs you than from a text you love.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    \uf0a0  <\/span>Yourpapermustbedrivenbyanarguablethesisstatementthatoffersaspecificinterpretationofthechosentext.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \uf0a0 <\/span><\/span>Notathesis<\/span>\u2014mostly summary<\/span>:<\/span>The Bachelor Season 3, episode one<\/span> is a reality shows that focuses on relationships and finding love.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \uf0a0 <\/span><\/span>Anarguablethesis<\/span>: TherealityTVepisodeof<\/span>TheBachelorSeason3, episode one <\/span>is supposedly about finding true love and living happily ever after, but a closer examination reveals that they are actually promoting an unrealistic fantasy and creating false expectations for the viewer about how men and women should behave.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    \uf0a0  <\/span>Includeaclearintroductiontoyourtextsomewhereearlyintheessay.To introduce the text<\/span>, you\u2019ll need some <\/span><\/span>summary and context (intended audience, time frame, who made it (or starred in it), etc. Assume your reader is familiar with the text. A summary is concise and serves the purpose of your analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    \uf0a0  <\/span>Analysisrequiresthechunkingofthewholeintomanageableparts.For instance, a movie can be broken down into scenes, but also into other kinds of categories, like characters, actors, soundtrack, dialogue, themes, etc. <\/span><\/span>Each kind of text has its own particular parts<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    \uf0a0  <\/span>Sincethisisananalysisessay, personal examples should be limited to those anecdotes and observations integral to the analysis of the subject.<\/span><\/p>\n

    You should start with an idea in general that you are thinking you want to illustrate or prove. Example: Premise – Women on TV shows are treated like sexual objects. Then, think about a SPECIFIC media product that illustrates that point.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Body:<\/span><\/p>\n

    The body paragraphs should analyze the pop media product to SPECIFICALLY point out how and why your point is true. Use specific examples from your pop media product. Analyze it <\/span><\/span>\u2013 <\/span><\/span>this means breaking it down to look at the MESSAGE:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      What is that product telling us about sex, sexuality, or gender?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      How is it sending that message (look for specific scenes, lines, images, etc.)?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Why does that message matter? How does it influence us as a culture? NOT what is CAUSES, but what impact<\/span><\/p>\n

      does this message have about how we think about or react to this issue?
      Be sure to use specific quotes from both your source material (pop media product) AND our class readings.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Requirements<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \n
      • \n

        \uf09e  <\/span>Final drafts should be at least 3 full pages (750 words) and be in MLA format, which includes a works cited page.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        \uf09e  <\/span>Essays will have a clearly focused thesis and appropriate support.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        \uf09e  <\/span>Essays must quote from one or more sources (your pop media product AND our class articles); your essay is joining a conversation already in progress. You really do not need any other outside sources.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        \uf09e  <\/span>Specific, concrete details and vivid descriptions are a must. The more detailed and specific you are, the better able your reader is to follow your essay<\/span>. Use examples from the text! Don\u2019t be general \u2013 <\/span><\/span>be specific.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        \uf09e  <\/span>There is also no need to say I think, I believe, or I feel as the ideas in this essay are obviously your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        \uf09e  <\/span>DO NOT: No personal narratives<\/span>. <\/span><\/span>Do not tell us <\/span><\/span>what you like or don\u2019t. Do not summarize what your pop <\/span><\/span>media product is about, assume your reader has seen or read it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
