I know I haven't been blogging as much as I should be... Who am I kidding? I know I haven't been blogging at all! BUT, I have progressed mentally and believe or not I've been thinking a lot about how my project is going to shape up.
A-I'm going to use a contrast or comparison between TD and the earlier MOO to establish notions of development on the issue. I want to show how the history of the Cuban Missile Crisis/ Caribbean Crisis/ October Crisis has changed over time with a specific regard to American film.
B-I will be talking about the impacts of the films, (Mainly the modern impacts, so there will be a focus on TD) on viewers and American society as well as public consensus as opposed to a reality.
C- I will evaluate the synchronic approach seen in the films in terms of accuracy, affect, purpose and whatever the heckers I see fit. I'll discuss a diachronic approach to show it's further relibility as far as related or associated events will lead. This means I will be assessing the causation seen in the films with regards to the real influences and lead up to the event and furthermore, the effects of this.
I do have a lot more to say and plan but I have ran out of lunch time unfortunately. :( *sigh*
I will be working on my project a lot this weekend though SO it would be great if I could get some feedback and suggestions. I need a yes or no for ABC, whether to go a head with the idea or back off it and reassess my approach. I need a good title and I need to learn how to start this thing.. Can we have a lesson on how to write a historigraphical inquiry or project? Please... please... please! Oh and more soon.
Looks like you have a clear plan now - good now that writing is beginning. With these things in mind I don't think re-telling stories would be a problem. Don't forget the word limit! I imagine there will be lots of information from these sources :)
