Film Essay: The Blind Side
The movies in Unit II all deal with major decision making. Start by identifying your movie selection and providing a brief
synopsis of the core issue. What was the main character goal? What major decision needed to be made, and by whom?
What was the process? What were the problems or roadblocks? Then, discuss your analysis of the final outcome. This
should be no more than half of your essay.
In the second part of your essay, analyze your own decisions that have been important in your life. What is your process
for making these kinds of decisions? What are the strengths and weaknesses of that process for you? This part of your
think piece should be focused on the process, not on details about your decisions.
Your essay should be no less than two full pages in length, roughly 500 words. If you use outside sources, please cite and
reference them according to APA standards.
