• Write about the aspects that are interesting but also on-topic. This option is not an invitation to take off on: • A general discussion of movies about the selected profession. The directions call for choosing one film or two or three episodes of one TV series and discussing them to help the reader get a realistic glimpse of its challenges and what it means to follow that career. • Why you want to do your dream job. That approach is off-topic. • Be sure to suggest the central idea by answering this question: What does one learn about being human from this analysis? The best organization pattern is probably illustration. Review the characteristics and the outline for an academic illustration as seen in the analytical paragraph structure lesson.
