Hey Doctor Harry so for this essay we need to start off with a proposal, and for that I’m posting the prompt and what the essay is about so the proposal is the same for the essay your gonna right later on and post more details but this is just to start off. The movie I chose is: Captain America: The First Avenger.
Prompt:
How do superheroes reflect the cultural values important to our society today? In current superheroes in film and TV today, we see the importance of a variety of cultural values, such as:
- justice
- freedom / independence
- responsibility and duty
- team building
- multiculturalism / diversity
- feminism / female strength
- leadership
- honor
- friendship / family
For this investigation, select ONE film, TV show, or comic book based on a superhero. In your paper, explain how the superhero(es) in the text reflect and illustrate ONE cultural value that is important to American society today. You may choose from the list above, or identify a different cultural value.
To be more specific, using Superheroes Decoded: American Rebels and our discussion of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse as a model, construct your own essay in which you create a clear thesis statement that shows your understanding of how a superhero in a film, TV show, or comic book demonstrates the importance of ONE specific American cultural value or belief in today’s society.

Unit 4 Essay Sample Proposal
EXPLAIN YOUR TOPIC
Which film, TV show, or comic book are you planning to use as your primary source in the Unit 4 Essay? Why is this superhero important to you? What is the cultural value that your superhero illustrates?
I plan to use the 2018 film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse whose lead character, Miles Morales, is a Black-Latino youth. I chose this film because I loved the animation, and Miles Morales was my favorite character because I identify with him since he is a biracial teenage boy. Into the Spider-Verse celebrates America’s reality of multiculturalism and reflects a growing recognition of and appreciation for the beauty and strength of this diversity.

My intended audience is for teenagers and adults who have not watched the film. I hope the essay will make this audience aware of the cultural significance of the film.
