The assignment reads:Compare and contrast the two films of Barefoot Gen and Grave of the Fireflies. Some topics you might consider in your discussion: Analyze the films regarding the idea of a “victim’s history”The elegiac and apocalyptic modesBe sure to include references from the reading: Susan Napier, No More Words: Barefoot Gen, Grave of the Fireflies, and Victims History, in Anime from Akira to Princess Mononoke: Experiencing Contemporary Japanese Animation (2001), pp. 161-173. Wendy Goldberg, Transcending the Victims History, Mechademia, Volume 4, 2009, pp. 39-52 Make sure you: Have a thesis or central idea on which to construct your argument. Make sure your thesis relates to themes from the reading.Compare the two films directly. Often this is handled by talking about one film in one paragraph, the other film in a second paragraph, and the comparison of the two in the third paragraph. However, you must use a connecting idea (theme) that is introduced in an introductory paragraph. What you DO NOT want to do is talk about each film individually and then simply mention them in a conclusion.This does not have to be a full essay but make sure you have a coherent and thoughtful argument in your post.Make sure you are NOT analyzing the films at the referential level! You must be at the explicit/implicit or symptomatic levels. You do not need to state which level you are writing at, sometimes you might us more than one. For example, you might include both implicit and explicit analyses in your argument.
