As promised, I have included all the information about Project 451. The following is the essay prompt: To what extent is Bradbury's main argument also true for the Colombian context?? Please develop your argument in a well-crafted essay using examples from the novel, film adaptation, and interviews to support your claims.
If you recall from our class today, we came up with the following topics that we thought encapsulate Bradbury's main argument to be included in the Project 451 essay:
- degradation of society through technology (i.e. tv, internet, transportation/MIO v. busetas)
- loss of traditional Colombian family values
- misconception of happiness
- fear of critique/critical thinking (maintaining the status quo v. radicalism/terrorism)
You are more than welcome to combine and modify these topics according to your personal vision for the paper. You are to conduct no more than four interviews total with a length of no more than one hour each. The essay is a maximum of three pages. Partial transcriptions are to be included in your essay as evidence to support your claims.
Lastly, the first homework assignment related to Project 451 is due Wednesday, October 17th. Please have the following prepared by next Wednesday's class:
- Your first interview (without a transciption)
- Challenges and succcesses you came across during the interview process
- Your essay topic
- Upload your group's interview questions to the blog
Please feel free to come to my office in room 2012 any day of the week between 11 am and 1 pm to discuss your project.
Best wishes,
Amatoga :)
