Social Networks
I have chosen the movie “My Girl”. We have to watch the movie in order to answer the questions. The questions are listed below.
American entertainment industry
Jewish Film in America
Why is it that there are so many Jewish comedians/comediennes? How do their routines show engagement with American society, and also their own identity as Jews? A note here, the hiding/effacing of Jewishness is also a viable topic, but when you look at this, try to see why/how it’s done, and is it effective? You could also look at stand-up as a very Jewish delivery, or perhaps more on the issue of incivility – why does Jewish humor often transgress the social boundaries established by others? You could also look at the relationship among

SHORT PAPER ASSIGNMENT:
IMPORTANT: You MUST follow these instructions exactly or you will receive no credit!
READ CAREFULLY:
The paper should be double-spaced, 12pt type, and around four to five pages long. Grammar and spelling mistakes will not be tolerated – proofread carefully and use your spell-check programs.
IMPORTANT: Choose any film not listed on the Excluded Movie List. Almost any movie can be used but it must take place in the United States – it doesn’t necessarily have to filmed in the US (many movies, for example, are filmed in British Columbia) – it just has to take place in the US. As you think about possible choices, think about how geography is produced through the film and how different environments are portrayed and how place and space figure into the plot or whatever is going on in the film. Your paper will describe the geography of your movie through the use of relevant chapters covered over the course of the semester. No outside sources are permitted!
Think geographically about what you have seen in your movie. Spend NO more than a couple sentences summarizing the movie. I will deduct points if you exceed that limit. You should then develop the geographic themes that the movie uses as part of the story. This might include particular spatial interactions between characters and places and/or people – or how geographies are created within your movie. How are the various geographies in the text reflected in the landscapes depicted? How do these geographies help create suspense or amusement or spectacle? Discuss the possible motivations the producers had for choosing the settings that were used in the movie.
