In The Apu Trilogy（Pather panchali, Aparajito, Apur Sansur) the main character Apu has an incredible enthusiasm for curiosity. In the spirit of Apu I invite you to select something from the films or from the supporting readings that sparked your curiosity and that you would like to know more about…
Perhaps it is one of the creators of the films (maybe Ray himself!); one of the actors; the music; a place; a culture, an issue – a person, place or thing from one of the films that you want to know more about…
Be sure it is something that we did not focus on in class. Do not write about trains and death!
This is a “research paper” to discover something you what to know more about.
It is not a paper analyzing or critiquing the film.
Once you have selected that something which sparked your curiosity, please write a paper sharing your discovery. Write about: 1) the history of it/her/him/etc. ; 2) what struck you, surprised you and moved you about it/her/him/etc.; 3) plus most importantly why did you choose it/her/him/etc. and how do you now personally connect to it/her/him/etc….
Be inspired by Apu’s deep desire and thirst to know more about the world…
And as always, be deeply personal…BE SURE THE PAPER IS INDEED 3 PAGES MINIMUM, NOT INCLUDING WORKS CITED PAGE. The Paper must follow the standard Modern Language Association (MLA) format: typed; double-spaced; 12 point; new times roman font: heading; title; running head with page numbers; list of works cited page; etc….
