Watch Class Dismissed: How TV Frames the Working Class (2005) on Kanopy

Then, write a 250-word reflection on what this documentary is saying about how we portray working-class characters in our American television shows. Highlight a few of the strategies used to help audiences differentiate between working-class characters and their wealthier counterparts.

Watch the film A Man Called Ove through Kanopy
Then write a 750-word close reading of the film in which you complete the following:
find 3-4 scenes from the movie to focus on
the MLA format for movie in-text citations: (firstwordofmovietitle beginningtimestampofscene – endingtimestampofscene)
example: (A Man 15:25-23:55)

use those scenes to analyze how Ove’s attitude changes as the movie progresses, and provide your interpretation of why you think these changes happen.
Next, watch Parasite (2019) on Kanopy

Finally, write a 250-word reflection that on how you see the difference between the working class characters and their upper class counterparts. How do you see their lives being shaped and/or limited by their social class status?
Building on your previous reflections on our movie, Parasite (2019), find at least 3 scholarly journal articles that discuss social class inequalities here in the United States.

Then write an essay that answers the following question:
Compare how the disparities seen between the working class and upper class in Parasite are different or similar to those that exist here in American society.
Remember the following
use MLA format and citations (I highly recommend using the MLA template provided in our modules)
12pt. Times New Roman font, double-spaced and 1-inch margins
essay should be at least 7-10 pages long
for your Works Cited page, which should come after the 7-10 pages of your essay, Google “Purdue OWL MLA movie” to find how to cite a movie.
