Writing Homework Help

Find an article. Find a peer-reviewed academic journal article (empirical, review, or meta-analysis, but NOT a book chapter or popular press article) that addresses one of the concepts from the movie. .

Start with a summary of the movie, identifying the main themes. Describe the article you chose: why you chose it, details of the study they did, main findings. Tie the movie in with the article: did the movie portray your concept accurately? Your paper should focus on the aspects of the movie that are directly related to the chapter. Summarize the movie overall, but be sure to include specific examples with details from the movie.

You do not need to cite the movie as long as you state which movie you selected, but you should cite the article (in-text and at the end). All article references should be in APA format
