Why or why not? (This should be at least one of your main points; it does not have to be what your whole essay is about)A clearly identified and vividly described subjectnarrow your topic down to one-two elements of entertainmentdo not choose a general topic, like sportsInstead, choose a specific topic(s), like football, or comparing football and soccerA thesis statement that contains a stance and a list of the main points that will be explored in the essayRemember, a stance is an argument, not just a summary/description of the EOEBody paragraphs that contain specific and well-conceived evidence supporting your judgment of the topicYou are writing an argumentative essay/review, not a long summary/description of the EOE. You will definitely need to explain the plot/description of your EOE in your essay, but your purpose should always be to then explain why you like/don’t like that EOEYour anticipation of at least one counterargument against your evaluation of the subject (the counterargument can be against your thesis or against one of your main points)Your understanding that their audience most likely is unfamiliar with the chosen EOE and therefore needs some background/summary/description, but the audience does not need to know everything about the EOE in order to understand your argument (spoiler alerts are ok, just include a disclaimer/warning right before you give the spoiler alert).MLA formatting: All drafts of this paper must adhere to MLA citation and formatting guidelines, be typewritten in Times New Roman font and double spaced with one-inch margins, and end with a final word count that only includes the title and essay itself.General RequirementsTypedMLA Format, Double SpacedTimes New Roman, 12 pt.

Entertainment is a critical part of our world: it’s how we have fun with others and have fun alone. I had a professor once who said that while she was getting her PhD, she was incredibly busy with studying, classes, and work, so she had no social life. However, she had the TV show, Friends! She explained how those characters became her virtual friends who she became invested in and was able to “meet up with” every week. This consistent social interaction got her through those busy, potentially lonely years. However, entertainment also holds great power over our minds and actions. It has the ability to control how we think of ourselves and how we think of others, and thus it has the ability to control how we treat ourselves and how we treat others. This is the cause of our current societal debate on why it is so important for entertainment to reflect our diverse nation so that everyone is properly represented and celebrated. Thus, that is our task with this essay: to share our opinions (basically, write a review) about an element of entertainment (a movie/movie series, theatre production, television series, restaurant, museum, place of entertainment, video game/video game series, music video, a song, an album, etc.) that has affected our lives and discuss whether or not it properly promotes diversity/raises awareness for a typically silenced issue/etc.Essay Question(s)/Assignment:You will write an opinion-based evaluation (review) of an element of entertainment (EOE) essay of 1100 words (or more) that addresses all three of the following questions.
