Demonstrate your close reading and analysis skills, your understanding of the concepts related to heroism and ethics write an essay that analyzes Rick and Morty (TV show) using some of the concepts like the hero’s journey or ethical positions.
These are the characteristics of a successful essay:
- Driven by a strong thesis statement that makes an argument that is specific
- Full of specific details and quotes from the story that is being interpreted and analyzed by you to support your thesis by pointing out things that someone else might not have noticed, or by making connections that someone else might not have made.
- At least 2 sources that discuss the hero
- Considers the context, origins, and key issues for this hero.
- Focused on the concepts and ideas from this class. Yes, you can find summaries and analyses of many of these stories and their themes online, but I am not interested in what someone online has to say. I want to see how you interpret these stories in the context of heroism and ethics. If you just list themes from an online source, you’ll lose points for not addressing the topic of this class.
- Well-organized so that every paragraph is related to the thesis, and each paragraph builds on the one before it to construct a solid argument.
- Contain correct in-text and works cited list citations in MLA format for all sources. In addition, cite the show episode watched.
