DISCUSSION ESSAY

Find an example of the themes, characters, histories, or narratives we’ve discussed in the culture that surrounds you (from film, or music, or TV, or politics, or current events, or fashion, or science, or art etc. etc.) Why would it fit into this course? Imagine yourself as an artist who wants to tell the story of Haunted America; where would you find the material to do so? You may write in the first person, but this is not a personal journal or narrative. Make an argument and be specific.

Your paper should be between 3-5 pages (750-1200 words).

Provide citations for any outside information you provide.

Use references to the course to make your argument.

Be sure to proofread your work and be specific. General, impressionistic work will not receive a high grade.
