Option 1 for the essay assignment to complement the horror movie “Deadly Illusions.” The analysis of Aristotle’s concepts will be based on the work of Cynthia Freeland, The naked and the Undead, and Tallon Philip’s “Through a mirror, darkly.” Horror films define the nature of human emotions and how well different individuals react to specific scenarios and experiences. Therefore, there can be a better portrayal of how human beings define their worldview through horror movies. The horror movies also present how individuals may term certain occurrences as tragic and those that are not. The horror representation of human emotions may also define the human understanding of the universe and life so that their actions and beliefs may be affected.
Look over the way(s) in which Cynthia Freeland keeps addressing one particular film.A few suggestions / questions:
i) What precisely is the intellectual problem / destabilizing condition that you want your claim to address? The draft above does not identify clearly a specific intellectual problem.
ii) What precisely is your contestable and debatable claim? Review chapter 4 of The Craft of Research (on our Blackboard page) to gain an effective understanding of a claim within an argument.
iii) What benefit will your readers get from your juxtaposition of something very precise and specific in this particular film with something very precise and specific in the Poetics?
