How Defiance Relates To The Physical And Human Geography Of The European Region

Your essay should include:

• A clear introduction that introduces the film/work of literature and your main point (thesis statement) about how it represents your specific region of Europe.
• A few paragraphs that describe the film’s/work of literature’s details (for example, who directed or wrote it, what year it was made, and any specific information regarding the film/literature that you believe is important for your reader to know), and a brief synopsis of the film/literature in your own words. (What is the film/literature about?)
• Then, analyze the film’s/literature’s connection to something that we have learned about Europe in our class. Your goal is to interpret the film/literature through your geographical knowledge of the region, helping to show your reader something insightful about the film and Europe.
• For example, does it relate to an environmental or sustainability challenge particular to that region? Does it tell a personal story of economic inequality or challenges in the region? Does it feature a specific landscape/physiographic region of Europe and the interplay of the culture in that area with the landscape/climate? Does it put a personal story to a current or recent event related to immigration or regional conflict? Does what you learned about the demographics and urbanization of the region help you to understand the movie in a particular way? (What you focus on will be specific to the movie/literature you choose—these are ideas to get you thinking and are by no means the only connections that you may make.)
