Prison essay
Sep. 18th, 2007 09:18 pmSo I'm bored and procrastinating on the work I have to do for Mom... and am in the midst of a discussion of US prison conditions with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bk635, which reminded me of the essay I wrote last term on US prison conditions... so, thought I'd post the essay for anyone interested. :) The assignment was to choose 3 media artefacts (from different mediums) that related to a certain theme, and write about each of them (and draw connections, etc). I blathered about it quite a bit back in spring, as I recall. :) I ended up using news media, The Shawshank Redemption, and, of course, Oz. It turned out pretty well, I think, and I got a good mark on it. Read if you're interested, and let me know what you think. :) Might go post it and my other Oz essay on some of the Oz comms later... don't really know why I never got around to it before. ^^;
Spoilers for The Shawshank Redemption and season 1 of Oz.
( Representations of Crime and Incarceration in the Media )
Damn, I write long paragraphs. Didn't really notice in Word when it's double spaced, but it's quite obvious here. Should work on that...
