Due for Thursday Watch one of the following movies and come up with a list of 7-15 genre conventions (elements that seem to be mostly true across all movies that follow in the genre of romantic comedies) or similarities between the movie of your choice and Ten Things I Hate About You:
Due for Friday Blog Post: Referencing specific moments in the movie you watched and Ten Things I Hate About You, fill in and explain the following sentences: Love is love when/if ________________________. Love is not love when/if ________________________. Due for Monday Blog Post: Consider this moment from our movie: "Cameron, do you like the girl?" "Yeah." "And is she worth all this trouble?" "Well, I thought she was, but you know I-" "Either she is or she isn't. First of all, Joey isn't half the man that you are. Secondly, don't let anyone, ever, make you feel like you don't deserve what you want. Go for it!" What statement does this moment offer about the role of men in romance? Is this statement refuted, qualified, or affirmed by the romantic comedy that you watched this week? Would it be fair to say that this sentiment falls in line with the criticisms of "rape culture" or "the friend zone" (read through the first point from this article)? Would it be fair to say that this moment offers a comment on the role of men in romance at all?
