Write an Abstract of one of the following: Orlando, Blue Velvet, How to Survive a Plague, Paris Is Burning, Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives.
This task serves as an extended first step to writing your term paper, in which you should:
a) Propose the tentative topic of your paper, consisting of two parts separated/linked by a colon, where the second part is the specification of the first, more general, part (1 point);
b) Write an abstract (150-200 words), containing a short overview of your topic idea, a few key concepts/notions, around which your paper will possibly revolve, and references to at least two sources, which propose formulations of some of the key concepts you will possibly use (as I already mentioned during the Ida-focused class, you can use Mroz’s abstract as a model to follow – in the last sentence, she points to two theoretical concepts she then develops throughout her text) (3 points, including 1 point for the references, 1 point for the description of your topic idea, and 1 point for the key concepts);
c) Include a list of APA-formatted references to the sources you have included (1 point).
