Dirty pretty thing

Follow this formula:

The UDHR is an effective tool for analyzing the (thesis key word) revealed in the movie “name of the movie” through the following: articles: article #, article#, and article #.

For example:

The UDHR is a valuable tool for explaining the (injustice against immigrants) revealed in the movie “Visitor” through the following articles: article 9, article 18, article 20

Write your thesis statement here:

This should be only one simple sentence.

State what the paragraph will discuss/prove

Include accurate thesis, paragraph key word (from theory), and topic key word (from case).

For example:

Article 9 provides insights into injustice against immigrants revealed at the vulnerability of Tarek in the movie.

Explain the assertion in more detail, focusing on the relationship between paragraph key word and the thesis key word. Don’t forget to begin the sentence with a transition word/phrase as suggested in the course pack.  This should be only one sentence.

For Example:

Specifically, UDHR claims that individuals shouldn’t be forced to tolerate limit movement regardless of nationality. Without a legitimate reason, no one should hold another in custody.

For example:

With this theory, it is clear that human beings have the opportunity to choose where they live and stay. In other words, it is legitimate for foreigners to stay in another country and they have rights to move freely with no limitation. Unless one presents official permission and motive, no one is entitled to send others to prison.

Introduce the evidence:

For example:

This concept sheds light on why it’s unfair to arrest Tarek. In the film,the cops doubted Tarek paid the underground fare, and then they

checked his ID, even though Tarek explained, “I did not jump it! I paid. I paid!” The

police officers still did not believe him and asked more questions of Tarek. After

realizing Tarek was from Syria, they started to handcuff him and did not give any

opportunities to let Walter explain more (Skalski et al., 2007).

Give details and draw out the key words from both theory and case.

Each sentence should clearly combine language from the theory or case.

(the order does not matter, some sentences can begin explaining the theory and move to case, some can begin with case and then explain theory)

For example

Considering this, UDHR drafters would claim that the police officers infringed Tarek’s

right of liberty. Because article 9 applies to everyone regardless of nationality,

handcuffing Tarek without reason is a breach of this article. Tarek, as a foreigner, is

entitled to the right of free movement as all individuals do, so the officers shouldn’t

arrest him at their whim. Moreover, when Tarek is confused and anxious about the

arrest, the officers are indifferent to his concern and explanation. UDHR drafters would

assert that such an ignorance demonstrates officers’ disrespect and carelessness to

Tarek’s freedom of movement. Without clear mutual understanding, the arrest could be

a mistake that causes Tarek to undergo more unfair treatment during custody, which

doesn’t fit the purpose of article 9.

Summarize in one sentence how the paragraph proved the assertion/thesis

Make sure to include accurate thesis and paragraph key words (article) and topic key word (case).

For example:

Therefore, article 9 of UDHR explains the unjust treatment towards Tarek because the

police officers arrested him arbitrarily without providing legal reasons and showing

respect to his right of liberty.

Follow this formula!

The (thesis key word) revealed in the movie (name of the movie) can be analyzed by looking at UDHR through the following characters/events: (character 1), (character 2), and (character 3).  OR (event 1), (event 2), and (event 3).

For example:

The (injustice against immigrants) revealed in the movie “The Visitor” can be analyzed by looking at UDHR through the following characters: the vulnerability of Tarek, the restriction of visiting son for Mouna, and residential instability for Zainab.

In the movie, (clear and meaningful context), “quote from movie” (citation).

For example:

In the film, Tarek is accused by the cops in a subway station even though he pays the fare. The policemen ignore his explanation and arrest him without giving any reasons after they identify Tarek’s undocumented status. Although Tarek does not commit any criminal offense, he is sent to a jail-like detention centre, where is depressing as Tarek mentions, “There is no privacy. The lights are always on” (Skalski, London & McCarthy, 2007).

(the order does not matter, some sentences can begin explaining the theory and move to case, some can begin with case and then explain theory)

For example:

With this in mind, persons such as Tarek should be protected by law, and no one is able to deprive the liberty of others by arresting or deporting them without providing sufficient reasons and procedures. Not only this, when the US government detains Tarek, he should also have a right to defend himself through

the process of law with a sense of justice instead of being treated as a criminal without privacy. All individuals, including illegal immigrants such as Tarek, deserve dignity and equal treatment in front of

the police or the law courts.
