Intro to my essay

[Lefty]

I just wrote it on a whim before going to bed...had a little sudden inspiration.

 

Tell me if it sounds endearing....or at least coherent

 

Don't worry, it doesn't have to make sense--just tell me if it sounds intelligeble.

 

 

Throughout the history of the cinema, most films have conformed to and portrayed the attitudes and ideas of their time. From social norms to political persuasion, films of any genre can be influenced by society. The culture in which the movie is created contributes in this way, and is depicted by various means?including cinematic techniques, dialogue, characterization, and gender roles, among others. One such movie that exhibits cultural behavior and stereotypes of its time is Rebel Without a Cause. Interestingly, some of the characters in this movie seem to go against, or oppose, traditional gender roles. But through these conflicting ideas and images, it is evident how people of that particular time (the 50?s; the classic years) viewed such roles. While the movie appears to merely contain entertainment value, it can teach and show the audience about the society during its creation.

I thought it was gonna be:

 

"DwYaNe WaDe TeH NuMbA OnE!"

[^_^]

wait society affects movie makers? and here i thought movie makers were always trying to go against the public.

[Buckeye]

Well, I guess that's an okay intro. A bit dry for my tastes, HOWEVER, one note I can give you, purely style, you tend to overuse the comma. You could get rid of some of those and replace some of them with an 'and'.

 

I think it sounds and looks better as:

I just got rid of about 5-6 commas and cut a couple of words that were unneeded. Good start.

i read the 1st sentence ...throughout history is used by so many people....try rewording it

[Lefty]

thanks!

 

You know those topics that you have no interest in, and can't quite get into a rhythm--but you know as long as you do enough, you'll get a good grade..

 

Ya, that's my film class.

[Lefty]

I have 3 of 5 pages done. This is easily the longest paper I've done all year.

 

I don't even know how I took 4 gordon rule classes in one semester last year (6000 words each)

I did.

 

Film classes should be more writing intenstive than that to be considered less of a joke.

 

(I'm not hating on them though...I've taken several).

Ok smart ass.

 

I've had four papers this semester in Film class.

 

One was 2 pages

One was 3 pages

One was 4 pages

One was 5 pages

 

 

Not to mention the 3 tests.

 

:thumbup

[Lefty]

about 4 and 3/4. I just need a conclusion and Im done. I've been stalling all day.

[nc marlin]

i got a five page paper due tommorow on cultural relativism....i'm have like 3/4 of a page so far :plain

 

its gon be a long night

[Lefty]

Finally finished. About 5 1/2 pages. I think I did good enough to get a 'B'. Even if I get a high A, I'll still get a B (he doesn't give pluses or minuses).

[Buckeye]

Man.

 

I write five page papers in my sleep. Seriously, it's when you get into the 12+ page rage that I have trouble focusing. But, then again, I usually just hold off until the night before anyways. A five page paper can be written in a half an hour or less, sometimes without reading anymore than the beginning and end of the source material, at this point.

 

Nothing is motivation like procrastination.

[Lefty]

If I sat down without any distractions, I could probably knock it off relatively quickly.

 

But I usually write a paragraph or two, take a break, write another paragraph, take a break, etc...

 

Especially since it's Sunday and there are a lot of games on.

 

A 12+ page paper the night before can't be fun.

Nah, it ain't too bad.

 

I find that I have trouble focusing if I do it too early. So, it's easy to get all my facts and then knock it out the night before.

Hah.

 

If I wasn't taking three writing intensives at the same time, I'd consider it for a fiver. But, that being the case, NAH.
