I already did option 1 for essay 5, so the only option left is responding to disaster (option 2). I have attached my work for Essay 5, please do a similar style for the analysis. The main feedback from essay 5 is to use direct quotes from the movie to prove my points more but everything else was perfect and lived up to their expectations. I also attached here the different stories for the assignment, please only use the attached files because they are extracts from larger texts so if you use a quote, make sure it can be found in the story I attached. There was a presentation the professor presented about methods of analysis which I will also attach.
