Write these papers like any other academic paper, with full explanations and resources. You will need ONE new academic article which you can locate on your own through the online UA Library.  You can alternatively use a primary source for relevant quotes.

Consider the ebook Understanding Aspects of Black American Hip Hop Cinema and the quote on page 20 that begins “In other words, the stereotypes obscured the…” and additionally pick one specific quote from one of the readings Rockabye Baby or What It Do Shorty? or Black Males, Urban Life, and Gangstas.  You will have two different quotes from different class sources to consider.  Starting with a thesis, contrast how black males and females are portrayed or not portrayed in Set It Off AND in Straight Outta Compton or in New Jack City.  You can consider stereotypes or power relationships for example.  Describe specific scenes from the film and note the colors, background, music, dialog, etc that prove your point.   Important for this assignment is that in your writing, you describe aspects of mise en scene (lighting, sets, clothing, music, etc.) that visually support your ideas. Follow the discussion guidelines and use information from a source that you develop that is not in the class.  End your essay by reflecting on current events.  Do any of the ideas still seem to apply to what we see today?

Remember, your job is to use academic writings and your own interpretations to produce an essay that analyze racial factors, words, themes, mise en scene as they project beliefs.

Guidelines:

  • 600 Minimum Words for initial post for Discussion/Essay
  • Contains a thesis
  • At least 3 proofs to support the thesis
    • two from course materials

The Supernatural

Smith is clearly at great pains to play down the supernatural and mythic elements of Christianity. Why?

The Centrality Of The Resurrection

Paul of Tarsus wrote: “If Christ be not risen, then is our faith vain.” Even without the supernatural apparatus, Smith seems to agree with that, true? Why is the Resurrection accorded such a central place in Christianity?

The Good News

Smith explains the “Good News” of Christianity as the belief that Christian love can overcome the fear of death, guilt, and the miseries of unbridled ego. If this Good News is not played in its mythic or supernatural aspects–something Smith really insists upon–how exactly is that supposed to work?

Incarnation

In his discussion of the centuries-long uproar about the doctrine of Incarnation, Smith explains the problem as being the conundrum of having to preserve both the full Divinity and the full Humanity of Christ. Why was each side of that god/man conjunction too important to discard?
