PROMPT:
In Ryan
Poll’s essay, “Can One Get Out? The Aesthetics of Afro-Pessimism”, he
writes: “To be Black, according to
Afro-Pessimism, is to be fundamentally, ontologically, marked as a slave
whether the year is 1617, 1717, 1817, or 1917 (71).”
How does
Jordan Peele’s film, Get Out illustrate these statements?
Give
examples from both essays as well as the film Get Out.
________________________________________________________________________________
TALKING POINTS YOU CAN USE: the metaphor about “the sunken place” that is in the essay and film, address Pro-Blackness in our “woke” society today and the main character in the film Chris, as well as using Afro-Pesssism for a talking point.
Use the paper and movie in conjuction to write a formal essay answering the prompt above and using some of the talking points I just stated.
I need Ryan
Polls’s essay (attached) “Can One Get Out”, read and analyzed along with
the film, connecting the essay and film. The prompt is above.
3-5 pages MLA
style, plus the citation page. Cite the film, cite the essay, and you can use
one or two more sources of your choice, provided they work. So a total of 3-5
citations.
I need the essay written
by someone who has seen or will immediately screen “Get Out”… If you don’t know
this film and won’t watch it, don’t write my paper.
