Often, rather than attempting to reduce a topic to a simple idea, academic writing tries to complicate it, to see multiple perspectives, potential contradictions, to move beyond the obvious. We can see this in the excerpt we read from bell hooks\u2019s book <em>Reel to Real<\/em>. She describes the act of viewing movies as involving a series of tensions. While movies may seem real, she writes, \u201cgiving audiences what is real is precisely what movies do not do\u201d (1). We go to movies to be entertained, but hooks notes that we also \u201clearn stuff\u201d from movies, and \u201cOften what we learn is life-transforming in some way\u201d (2). She argues that films themselves contain what she calls \u201cmultiple standpoints,\u201d and they may mix \u201crevolutionary\u201d and \u201cconservative\u201d standpoints in ways that make it \u201chard for audiences to critically \u2018read\u2019 the overall filmic narrative\u201d (3). Nonetheless, hooks insists, we viewers of film are \u201cusually seduced, at [least] for a time, by the images we see on the screen. They have power over us . . .\u201d (4). That is, despite\u2014or perhaps because of\u2014the complexity of film, it is important to \u201cto understand and \u2018read\u2019 . . . what the film tries to do to us\u201d (4) precisely because it can have such power over the way we think and feel.<\/p>\n<p>Write an es.say in which you test out hooks\u2019s ideas by analyzing a specific film through her lens. Think about a film you have watched that, as hooks describes, has \u201cpower\u201d over you, that seems to have affected you in some way\u2014even if you are not sure what exactly the film might have taught you. Can you see signs of the \u201cmultiple standpoints\u201d that hooks identifies? What might the film be trying to say, and to whom? \u00a0As a way of setting up your analysis and explaining the significance of your pa.per, you will want to quote from and\/or summarize elements of hooks\u2019s es.say. Then you will want to test out your ideas by looking closely at specific elements of the film\u2014particular scenes, dialogue, images, plot developments, and so on. Finally, you should try to explain, as best you can, what this particular \u201cfilm tries to do to us\u201d and how you reached that conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>FINISH THE FEEDBACK PLAN<\/p>\n<p>WRITE ACCORDING TO THE RUBRIC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0\u00a0 Assignment 1 Academic writing favors complexity.
