Essay Feedback - going forward


  • put titles in italics, reference the year published/said
  • remember to either put a space between paragraphs or indent
  • use of quotes to start paragraphs is effective, find some that sum up the paragraph and start with them and then break them down
  • explore the psychology of audience mentality more - why do people require a sense of safety (its probably Freudian)
  • Introduce scholars don't just put their name, could be anyone
  • work harder to integrate the quotes into the body of the text - like a pie - everything is mixed in, cant just plonk all the cherries on top can you?
  • ITALICS FOR MOVIE TITLES TOO
  • reference specific comic books, dont assume the reader knows (they aren't a nerd loser like you)
  • link case studies more directly to themes and context, direct connections to provide synergy throughout the essay
  • try to stay away from opinions, form counter arguments more often to display an impartial evaluation
  • make the case studies flow into each other in some way so the chapter feels cohesive, not just one after another
  • link case studies together in accordance with how they link to the themes present in chapter 2
  • delve into the psychology more, storytelling as a human preoccupation, why?
  • The Hero's Journey - Joseph Campbell
  • assess changing media, how people respond to films - youtube reviews, rotten tomatoes, news sites dedicated to pop culture, hard to escape and form your own opinions
