Assignment 3 was a major step forward for me I produced a structured academically worded essay, from the second i handed it in i was confident and would have defended it contents against all comers.
My tutor’s feedback was very encouraging highlighting areas to rework work to strengthen the work one of which was the glossing over of Captain Philips and the sweeping statements.
I this rework I have concentrated on:
- adding a definition of propaganda
- adding more weight to the fact that Kapringen juxtaposes life at see with corporate life and reflects the lack corporate responsibility to staff over the desire to make and save money
- highlighted more that Fishing Without Nets presents a first person documentary to engage the audience in understanding, if not fully sympathise with, the pirate’s situation
- add weight to the theory of Paul Greengrass acting as a propagandist as pro-USA and showing the pirates just as archetypal bad guys not “genuine criminals” with a back story to understand
- slight change to title to correct English usage.
Overal I’m happy with this essay and would not have believed it possible that I could have produced such work after the faltering starts early in the course.
