Watch Star Wars: Episode IV, A New Hope (1977). Based on this film, write a 500 word essay (minimum) in which you analyze the movie in terms of the racial and religious trends of the 1970s and how Star Wars not only reflected these trends, but also created new trends as well. Explain why the film was so enormously popular in America.
Paper Requirements:
• Write in 3rd person voice. DO NOT use 1st person voice.
• Use Arial or Helvetica Font, 12 point size
• Margins should be 1″ on all four sides of your essay
• Name block is single-spaced. The rest of the essay is double-spaced.
• Do not add extra space after carriage returns or any other paper stretching method. ?Remember, the word count (500 words minimum) is the requirement, so trying to stretch a three page paper into five pages is pointless. When you turn a paper in electronically, it gives a word count. For every word you are short I deduct a point (ten words short, one full letter grade deducted– do not let this happen to you!)
• Grammar, punctuation, spelling and proper essay formatting count. You should be able to write a well organized essay, which includes an introduction with a solid thesis, a well-organized and cohesive body, and a proper conclusion. If you have trouble in these areas, please go to the learning center to get assistance. It is located in University Hall (UH) 351.
• No outside sources are necessary for this assignment. However, if you choose to use outside sources, you also need a bibliography at the end and you must use proper citations.
• Double-check that you have cited your sources. I am ruthless when it comes to plagiarism, so please make sure your sources are properly cited. Including only a bibliography at the end is not enough. You must include the proper citation notes in either MLA or Chicago-Turabian style.
• Put your NAME, CLASS AND SECTION NUMBER (History 146-01) on your paper in the top right corner.
