compare and analyze the films, answer the following questions:

1. One film portrays the Vietnam War and one portrays the iraq War. Which portrait did you find most compelling and why?

2. How does the age of Apolcalypse Now! and less sophisticated cinematic technique available when it was made stand up to the cinematic techniques of The Hurt Locker? Give examples.

3. Why did you feel the directors made these films? Do you think this was achieved?

4. Did the films make you see or think differently about the wars and the people in them than you did before you watched the films?

5. On the website IMBD, The Hurt Locker has a positive rating of 7.9 on a scale of 10 with 76,708 votes. On the website IMBD, Apocalypse Now! has a higher positive rating of 8.6 with 168,296 votes (more votes overall because it is older, of course). Which film do you think will last the test of time better and why?

You may add any other insights you had comparing these two films.

Write a five-paragraph essay, 750-1,000 words in length (about 250 words = 1 page), in which you take a stand either for or against an issue about which you feel strongly. The essay should contain three parts: introduction, body, and conclusion.
a) The introduction should contain a hook to engage the reader to read the essay. It should contain background information important to the issue. Any definitions that are relevant to the topic should be included in the introduction. A strong thesis statement is necessary.
b) The body should contain three supporting paragraphs, each stronger than the one previous.
c) The conclusion should summarize the main points. The thesis statement should be rephrased within the conclusion. It should end with a call for action, a question, a quote, or a prediction. It should never contain new information.

Legislators are very busy individuals and do not have extra time to sort through pages and pages of documents. However, you feel that is it important to meet with your legislator to get his or her support on your policy so it can be presented for approval.

Using your Week One assignment, prepare a one page document to hand to a legislator about the pros of your selected policy. Use support so your legislator will understand why they should support the potential policy. They have little time and need just a brief, but concise overview of what the policy entails and why they should support the passage of it. Also include a recommended course of legislative action to change public policy that contributes to the “greater good” of health care
