Assignment Week 4

Respond in a small paragraph to one of the following:

1-Which film(s) do you consider "national" American film(s)? What makes them so? Explain using narrative and formal examples as supporting arguments. 

2-Cortes' articles emphasize the power of images to change public opinion and mold the psyche of American audiences. Williams disregards this point of view and directs our attention towards the economic circumstances and historical events that have shaped the images we see. Where do you stand in this argument?
