2. Choosing either District 9 or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, describe one of the allegorical elements of the film and relate it to a real-world issue. How does the film portray the real-world issue through a science fiction lens? How did the portrayal make you feel about the world around you?
3. Select a specific joke from either Hunt for The Wilderpeople or Mean Girls. Describe how it is structured: what is the set-up? What is the punchline? Is the joke dark, slapstick, satire, situational, or deadpan? Why did you find it funny?
