2. Watch Knocked Up and Juno
3. Write a short essay proving who you think most resembles the hero or heroine based on Mortimer’s chapters on hero and heroine in the romantic comedy. Conversely, you can also use either text to disagree with Mortimer, or discuss how a character in one of these movies disrupts Mortimer’s idea of the hero or heroine, or how it has been changed through time with one of these current romantic comedies. Minimum 2-5 pages. You will get points off for less than 2 pages. Please use MLA to cite your sources, and the textbook is required minimum. Do NOT tell me the plot of this movie in the bulk of your essay. Your essay is arguing who is the hero/heroine based on either Mortimer’s ideas or in contrast with Mortimer’s ideas and your essay will then prove why you think what you do. Due 6/21 at 11:59 PM
