● Spirited Away
● Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
● Sophie Scholl: The Final Days
● Moonlight
Movement:
● Two or more themes interrelating = your idea
● Extend or complicate your exploration
● Extend/Complicate are actions - Verbs, a process, something you do or achieve with
writing
● The Gap: what aspect of source A not consider? Identifying this gap means there is a
place where you can join the conversation
● Apply some thought reflection
○ Here is what makes sense
○ Here is where there is an oversight or something missing
○ Here is where a mistake is made
● Do not be intimidated by academics or writers, your reactions in this familiar
(exploratory) essay are why we are reading it. What do YOU think?
○ Critically, consciously and with evidence
The Gap: Catalli
● Source 1: Pray to God and he will help you with your grief
○ What if you do not believe
○ What if the grandfather is not the mourning type
○ I can’t tell him something I don’t believe myself
■ All complications
■ Must fill in gap with thought reflection
● Source 2: Outside help is not going to help, they are things you already have
○ The very things that cause may be the very things that mend
○ What the griever already knows
The Gap: Hennet
● Concept: non-mainstream definitions of family, acceptance
● Source 1: outside world defines relationship validity and success, not the family itself
(failed vs. ended)
○ How do I make them see
○ it is up to me to explain “part of my job”
○ Transcend “other” to see persons; not to see my partner as other, but to see
him as a person
● Source 2: Gender isn’t the point, it’s love between equals
