Assignment. Write a 5 page essay about happiness while dealing with a specific problem, for example loss of a loved one, illness, loss of a job, poverty, depression, etc.
(1) Discuss 5 films from the semester’s assigned films. Analyze the characters, their circumstances, and how they transcended their difficulties to achieve happiness. Focus on going deeper into what happens and the significance for the topic.
(2) Discuss relevant course documents (not Notes or Films).
(3) Discuss 5 external academic documents that you have researched and consider relevant. Again, the emphasis is on academic material.
Focus on academic research. Use the Lehman virtual library for good databases, such as Academic Search Premier. You can use Google Scholar.
The paper should be in MLA format with a Works Cited section that is also in MLA format. Make sure that the paper has internal documentation for all sources (see MLA sample).
