You will prepare and submit a term paper on Analysis of Showing Magical Realism in Different Stories. Your paper should be a minimum of 1750 words in length. Literature works like magic because a good writer engages his or her readers and lets them forget for a while their own problems, and get so absorbed with the story and characters. Like magic, literature can suspend disbelief and makes anything possible. A good writer also can impart lifelong lessons into the story, like the very famous Aesop’s fables. Literature has many forms, called a genre. Among these are fiction, fairy tales, short stories, full-length crime novels, poetry, non-fiction, and autobiographies, to name just a few. Some genres can fade away from popular culture, while other genres gain traction and be the favorite of readers for quite a period of time, creating a new trend in literary writing. However there are also some literary forms which stand the test of time, and become literary classics. A few of these literary works stand out among the rest, and persist throughout many generations. Good writers employ a variety of literary devices to enhance their storytelling. one of these is the trope, which is figurative language used to amplify the theme of a story and trigger in the readers a heightened realism, in which even magical circumstances and situations can acquire a realistic sense of these had actually happened. in other words, to suspend disbelief. Discussion There are also several sub-genres within a certain literary genre. In the case of fiction there is fantasy literature, in which pure fantasy of myths and legends are mixed with themes of a fictional story to create a compelling motif. An example are children’s stories, of which a big portion of them are made up of fantasy, with characters totally made up by the creative imagination of the writer. Despite being fantasy literature, these stories have a high believable quality in them, because these stories employ a technique known as magical realism.&nbsp.

(Part 2)After creating the document I need you to do two things:1. Explain how you would use your refutation to support your claim. In other words, if you were to write an essay on your claim, explain how you would weaken the point of refutation that you wrote to support your claim.2. Look at my example and discuss why you either support my claim or refute my claim.**Responding to these TWO parts** Respond to the second part in a separate word document!***Both need to be MLA format, Times New Roman, 12 font*****Due: Monday 09/07/2020 8 am ET** No late work accepted!!**EXAMPLE ONLY BELOW:**Claim: Though the use of social media has some benefits, overall, social media is a very negative tool.

Horace – “The Art of Poetry” Ars Poetica (Critical Tradition 82-94)* + You can read the whole verse letter in our textbook, but I also suggest researching to find his key concepts and quotations. Longinus – from On the Sublime (Critical Tradition 95-108)* + You can read the entire selection.  I suggest focusing on sections 1, 7, 9, 10, & 44. Dante – “Letter to Can Grande Della Scala” (Critical Tradition 120-123) Assignment: Select a piece of literature.  Write a paper in which you first, briefly summarize the piece of literature and explain the writing.  Then, apply the works of three of our figures—from Aristotle, Horace, Longinus, and Dante—to respond to the literature.  Use their words and concepts to respond to the literature.  Write at least one paragraph for each theorist.  Use quotations from their work. Thinking about the assignment: Choose a piece of literary fiction.  A poem or short story will work best.  It can be one we’ve used in class (such as McCrae’s poem, “Flanders Fields,” or Chopin’s short story, “Story of an Hour”) or one of your own choosing.  Use the work of Aristotle, Horace, Longinus, and Dante to critically respond to the piece of literature.  According to their writing, how would three of these figures approach the literature?  What would they have to say about the poem or story?  Using their theories, what claims could you make about the piece of literature?  Demonstrate and explain your ideas. Writing: For the opening of the paper, basically summarize the poem or story and briefly explain the writing. (Approx. one paragraph) Then, introduce your theorists and state their overall responses to the piece of literature (your poem or story). Try to connect these into an overall argument.  (Approx. one thesis paragraph). Next, in the body paragraphs, apply for the theorist’s work in a response to and an interpretation of the literature. Be sure to use quotations.  (At least one paragraph for each theorist) Finally, offer a conclusion that restates the topic and finishes your overall argument.

1. Make an argument for two different ways in which digital technology has impacted cinema. In your answer, make sure to clearly define what dimensions of cinema you are addressing (preproduction, postproduction, film styles and genres, shooting on digital, distribution, marketing, exhibition, etc.). And, make sure to use specific film examples from this week (at least 2) to prove your specific argument. Moreover, in order to demonstrate your knowledge of historical changes over time, please also refer to one other film or film movement from earlier weeks in the quarter. These earlier films or film movements should help you prove your argument about the changes and impact (or lack thereof) of digital technology in cinema.   2. Using both chapters from  Halberstam’s reading and the lecture video, please explain the concept (or genre) of Pixarvolt? What are the dominant narrative themes in this genre? Make sure to discuss the film Chicken Run, and provide, at least, one other film example to explain. How does this form of the politically revolutionary film differ from others we’ve seen and discussed this quarter? How does it relate to others we’ve studied? Please refer to, at least, two specific films from earlier this quarter to construct your answer.    3. Using the Empire Files episode: “The Rise of History’s Biggest Empire”, Bogg’s chapter, “Media Culture in the Imperial System”, Pardy’s essay, “Selling Marvel’s Cinematic Superheroes through Militarization,” and our last lecture video, explain what Bogg’s means when he says ‘the role of media culture is to legitimate empire’. How can we connect Bogg’s argument about the legitimating empire to Pardy’s discussion about ‘militainment’? In other words, how does the imperial ideology of cinema connect to militainment? In your answer, please use the film The Avengers and, at least, one other film to make your argument. You can use either a film discussed in the lecture or in the readings, or you can incorporate your own example not discussed in this class (please just make sure to provide a brief synopsis of the film and how it works as an example). Finally, somewhere in your answer engage the question about how this militarized media culture may impact you and your life (as a viewer, as a student, as a citizen of the world, etc.).
