**NO AI** Analysis Paper 1 Guidelines (150 Points) You are to select a film and provide an analysis of 1 or more character’s journey of their development of their self-concept. The focus of this assignment is not for you to give me a detailed synopsis of the plot or a scene-by-scene account of what happens to the main character. You should critically analyze the character(s) journey throughout the story and weave together the concepts that we’ve discussed in class and are available in the textbook. A strong paper will provide insight into a character that is not obvious or surface-level; it will critique the nuances and subtleties in the character’s journey to learning more about their self-discovery. Focus on the concepts that we discussed in class and that you’ve read in the text. You should provide specifics (character names, brief scene descriptions) so that someone who has not seen the film could easily digest your analysis. Your paper should consist of at least 3 pages of content and adhere to the formatting requirements on the syllabus. Please set up your analysis as follows: Checklist: Introduction Body: 1 paragraph discussing the character(s) throughout the story in the realm of self- concept. 1 paragraph outlining how the character(s) self-awareness (Johari window) changed throughout the movie. 1 paragraph delving into the change in self-esteem of the character within the narrative. Conclusion Tips for success • Select a movie and if you can’t find one, feel free to select from the list below. If you’re unsure if a movie will work, please discuss with me in advance! • Watch the movie and take detailed notes throughout to help you write your analysis. • Make sure that you’re using theories/terms/concepts that were discussed in class and are within your text. If you’re missing these key words or phrases then it will substantially impact your grade.
