The midterm and final will have identical structures. Short identification questions will make up one quarter of the test and an analytical essay will determine three-quarters of the overall grade. Many themes of American 20th century social history have been reflected onto the silver screen. A three to four page movie review from a list of films readily available at the George T. Potter Library and most well-stocked video stores will address how contemporary social and cultural issues are interpreted in this quintessential 20th century medium. A three to four page reaction essay to Richard Wright's autobiography which details what it meant to grow up male and Black in the American South.
