Book/Film Interpretation

  For this project you will choose to analyze a film or book from the list below. Write an analysis of the film's/book's contribution to the study of a Spanish-speaking culture. You can look at the book or film in its entirety, or you can focus on a particular chapter or scene if you prefer. Important: Your essay is not a summary of the book or film. You should analyze the book/film not for a plot or story line, but as a window into the culture. Use the following points to guide your essay: 1. What is the central issue(s) of the film/book? 2. What have you learned or observed about a Spanish-speaking culture from this book/film? (Think about interpersonal or family relationships, customs, religion, food, music, politics, economics, or any other cultural aspect that are discussed or portrayed in the book/film.)
