FINAL PAPER PROMPT<\/p>\n
The final paper will be a 6-8 page paper on the memory\/representation of World War I in popular media (including documentaries, movies, games or comics). <\/p>\n
You need to use three audiovisual sources focusing on one and the same event or aspect of World War I. The events or aspects could include the western front, Gallipoli, the home front, the African fronts, the United States in the war. Provide a source analysis of the three films as we did with \u201cAll Quiet\u201d in class. <\/p>\n
Compare the representations to each other. Is it an anti-war film? How are soldiers portrayed? What role do non-combatants play in the film? How are \u201cthe Germans,\u201d or \u201cthe Americans\u201d or any other nationality portrayed? How are officers and generals portrayed? <\/p>\n
Finally, use your lectures and readings for our course to factcheck these three audiovisual representations. Did their representation diverge from that of textbooks and class materials. If so, in which ways? <\/p>\n
The paper should be <\/p>\n
Double-spaced<\/p>\n
Times New Roman, font 12<\/p>\n
Footnoted, using Chicago manual of style-footnotes<\/p>\n
It should be well organized including <\/p>\n
