According to scholar Susan Napier, Nausicaa is an empowered young girl hero: she combines traits traditionally associated with masculinity, such as physical power and scientific and mechanical abilities, with traits traditionally associated with femininity, such as aesthetic appreciation, compassion and motherliness. Thus, one view would be that Nausicaa is a character who breaks traditional gender boundaries and expectations. But another view might be that she does not actually break gender boundaries and expectations but rather, reinforces them. Which do you agree with? Explain with examples from the film, such as Nausicaa’s representation, actions, scenes, plot points, etc.

My play “1733” requires significant work. I’m aiming for an adaptation that dramatizes the events of the 1733 rebellion of St. John, similar to what is being done with the new series “SHOGUN”.
I possess a significant play that needs refinement. It is crucial to ensure the play somewhat reflects real events, but I also want to present it dramatically. I plan to use proper English mixed with Crucian dialect and slang, so the draft requires reworking to enhance the narrative flow from start to finish. The aim is to improve the storyline, storytelling, dialogue, grammar, phrases, words, events, scenes, and characters. I want the story to progress from the middle to the end in a capable manner that weaves a beautiful, heart-wrenching tale where each character’s background is utilized, and their conclusion brings a distinct payoff. The file is attached.
PT 2
My play, currently untitled, is a romantic comedy set in the USVI, focusing on Transfer Day between a Danish native and an American soldier. I’m still deciding on the timeline—whether it will start before, during, or in the days leading up to Transfer Day. It’s a blend of romance and comedy, and I want to highlight our cultural traditions—how we marry, sing, and dance to Quelbe music, our calypso, our culture wears of madras really it just an amazing piece. It’s a moving piece, inspired by Broadway romantic comedies. Essentially, it’s about two contrasting cultures coming together, incorporating elements of Bridgerton—representing American culture—clashing with Caribbean norms, culminating in the union of two souls. i have a draft but it in need of tlc its needs have lots of acts so it needs a ton ofc draft work
also when it comes to Private James please take out the stupid Shakespeare idea not good or the Boardway thing hate it need real work done on them more charcyers there bios and there contnent needed

TEACH-BACK PRESENTATION 3
Create a 15-20 slide Powerpoint presentation that explains, in-depth, with examples, what the four traditional approaches to film history are that the authors describe: aesthetic, technological, economic and social-historical.
Tips for a good power point presentation are here https://www.lifewire.com/presentation-tips-for-students-2766920
Keep in mind you are breaking down the concepts as if you had to teach them to a group. Use a lot of visuals and short sentences rather than a lot of text on the slide. Analyze and then simplify the concepts.
If you have more to say about a slide and do not want to cram in too much text, that’s what the “notes” section is for at the bottom of the slide. It’s for your reference, so it won’t be seen by the audience. In this case, since you will only be posting it, not presenting it, feel free to add additional information for your audience in the “notes section” as needed. It keeps your presentation clean, but shows that you have additional information to give you your audience.

Using the section from Chapter 9 entitled “Guide to writing an argument of definition,” plan, research, and write a paper that argues for a particular definition of a term or phrase that is relevant and significant in modern society. See the “Examples of Definitional Claims” on the top of page 213 to get a sense of the types of claims an evaluation paper might center around. Feel free to use one of the “Projects” prompts from the end of the chapter (page 217) as the inspiration for your paper.
In basic terms, your paper should identify a term or phrase that is of current significance in society and then present an argument for a particular way in which that term or phrase should be understood or used. Be sure to discuss existing formal and operational definitions as part of your argument. Again, use the section from Chapter 9 to guide your writing; if you follow the steps outlined there, your paper will be off to an excellent start.
Your paper should be at least 1000 words (but no more than 1500 words) in length, formatted properly in MLA style, properly cite at least 3 sources to help contextualize and support your claims, and include a properly formatted MLA Works Cited page.
