Choose any fictional show or film (no documentaries) that features at least one queer character and explore the messages and conversations about queerness that the show takes up. What are the implications behind how queerness is being represented, and how responsible do you find this representation? Since we have already looked at Queer as Folk and Pose, students will be asked to find a different piece of popular culture to analyze.
A successful paper will:
Introduce the piece of media you are working with while incorporating a thesis statement that tells me what the piece of media is saying about queerness and how it is saying it.
Include historical context for the conversation the show or film is picking up. What were the major concerns of society as a whole and the queer community specifically at this point in time?
Provide a thorough exploration of the overall messages around queerness this film or television show is sending.
Engage with any negative implications from these representations.
Offer a conclusion highlighting the significance of your chosen film or television show.

The “U.S. National Academies, the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the U.S. National Climate
Assessment, and many other primary scientific organizations around the world
agree that climate change is happening due to human activities with the highest
degree of certainty” (Myers et al., 2015) Try not to open your essay with a quote—though it is often
tempting! This quote can be used as one of your first pieces of evidence later
on, but it’s important to lead your reader into your topic, grab their
attention immediately, and establish your voice/control of the
“conversation.” In some more creative forms of writing and
professional paper-writing, you can sometimes get away with it, but for student
essays, it is usually considered bad practice. In 2023, the global average temperature was “1.45 ± 0.12 °C since these are purely statistics, they can act similarly to
paraphrasing and don’t need to be directly quoted. Just make sure they are
cited properly at the end of the sentence! above
the 1850–1900 average,” which meant that the planet had almost surpassed even
the 1.5°C lower limit that was stipulated in the Paris Agreement on climate
change. Meeting the targets of the Paris Agreement requires urgent action from
all sectors to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to more
sustainable practices. On the other hand, the trend of greenhouse gas
concentrations still rose (Garner & Duran, 2024). Human actions,
particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, have led to an overabundance
of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, resulting in shifts in global
temperatures and weather patterns.

For this week’s homework, you will write two descriptive paragraphs and one definition paragraph.  Each paragraph should be its own separate writing.  
Paragraphs 1 and 2: Write two descriptive paragraphs about a topic of your choice. Remember to be specific and descriptive. Use sensory writing (include what is experienced with your senses). You want to make the reader feel as if he/she is experiencing this with you. If you are struggling to choose a topic, consider any of the following:  
a favorite place 
a favorite meal 
a favorite pet 
a favorite person 
a favorite room in your house 
a haunted house 
a huge mess 
Paragraph 3: Choose a word that you can “define” without a definition, by illustrating examples in your writing of what this means. You may wish to use a thesaurus to find a lesser-used synonym. When appropriate, you may also wish to use sensory writing in this one, as well, as it may make your writing more effective at explaining to the reader the meaning of the word through examples. (You may also choose to put the dictionary definition in your writing, as the book example did; or you may choose to simply let the examples/nonexamples explain the meaning of the word to the reader, as demonstrated in the presentation. 
Be sure to follow the general principles of writing paragraphs and the specific principles of writing descriptive and definition paragraphs discussed in our textbook, presentation and the resource found above.
