o analyze one of the films we’ve recently viewed—Sleep Dealer or
Zootopia—and craft an argument regarding what this film says about the issue of
immigration, policing, social justice, or a related issue. Please only choose a single
issue for this focus. Additionally, you are required to tie your argument about the film
into one of the critical texts we’ve read: the writing of W.E.B. Du Bois, bell hooks,
Aviva Chomsky, or Michelle Alexander.
As with the last essay, what you choose to argue is up to you, but your thesis must
include both a clear Focus and, most importantly, an Arguable Assertion which can
be disagreed with. Again, your argument should center around meaning: what this film
is saying about your chosen issue as it relates to the U.S. or, in the case of Sleep
Dealer, the U.S./ Mexico relationship.
