pick maybe a scene from Pelin Esmer’s documentary Oyun (“The Play”) that contains an interpretive problem you wish to explore (as we will discuss in class, a problem typically takes the form of a tension, an ambiguity, a contradiction, or a site of possible misunderstanding). Make a claim about how the choices of language and form affect the argument. Your analysis should stay close to the object of analysis.
The paper should be 1200-1500 words long (include a word count at the end of each draft).
Goals:
Identify an interpretive problem that is worth addressing, using a passage that will reward close reading.
Formulate a claim that makes a strong argument and is not obvious.
Establish a motive for the essay in your introduction. Here you will suggest why your essay is important and interesting to an intelligent reader. Draw out the implications of the argument in your conclusion.
Structure the essay around your problem, leading towards your central claim, making sure that each paragraph develops the argument.
Use evidence persuasively, quoting from the text when necessary, summarizing or paraphrasing accurately and responsibly when appropriate. Do not provide evidence from other sources or make general assertions (e.g., claims about “human nature”).
For this assignment ( movie specifically ):
1. Articulate the film’s project in the introduction
2. Pose an interpretive problem that emerges from the film in the introduction
3. Structure each paragraph around an argumentative movement based on how you interpret your evidence.
4. Use the first and last sentences of each body paragraph to see how the paragraph has advanced your argument.
5. Consider making a claim in the introduction, and be sure to make a strong Claim in the conclusion.
6. Use the conclusion to show how your argument allows you to advance or question the film’s project (moving from project to Project)
