essay on a cultural object of your choice in any medium. Your essay should begin with a close formal description. Explain the structure, organization, and what it means to experience the object. Write in detail about its language, plot, sound, emotional tone, color, shape, as appropriate. Make certain to provide examples, yet select them carefully. Do not quote more than is necessary. Demonstrate to me that you are aware some features of your object are more significant than others. Think about how the object makes you feel and why. Assume that your reader has never encountered it and your job is to provide a verbal account, including why the object is worthy of commentary. Your essay should attempt to explain the meanings of the object and what they convey about aesthetic experience, culture, and society. Develop an argument about how the form of the object is not a neutral container but rather a set of choices through which the operations of culture are evident. Use of any of the readings we have read, or will read, to buttress your argument. What are the questions to which your object might be construed as an answer? Word Count 1500
