Write ~1500 words (plus or minus 10%) analyzing this episode in the context of this class and the concepts and topics we’ve examined so far. Identify and briefly describe scenes that directly relate to concepts covered in class, then discuss concretely, specifically, and in detail the class concept and how the scene in question illustrates it.

Do *NOT* write a basic movie review of the episode; one that includes the history of the actors and an evaluation, for example, of how well they acted. You will not get any credit for the assignment if you simply write a review of the episode. Tie directly, specifically, and concretely, using references to specific class lectures and detailed references to the episode, to why we wanted you to see this episode. Note concepts by name, please; this is an open-note paper, so there’s no excuse not to directly identify the concepts in question. You should also note the specific lectures those concepts came from.

Follow the writing guidelines in this assignment. At least 40% of your total score depends on the writing guidelines. NOTE that we look to whether you answer the prompt FIRST, then whether you followed the writing guidelines. If you did not specifically and concretely answer the prompt above, meeting the specifications noted, you may recieve 0 points, no matter how well-written it is. To use an analogy, your bridge must go all the way across the canyon, not partway but with really pretty columns.

ANYTHING we have covered from the beginning of class is fair game for you to use.
