The assignment is to use the concepts we have been talking and reading about thus far and apply them to the relationships and the communication interactions in the film “Life is beautiful”. Your analysis paper will be a 6-8 page paper in which you apply multiple concepts we discussed to help you understand the movie. Some concepts are: Non verbal communication, Perception, Language, Conflict, Communicating in the workplace, emotional intelligence, etc… Recommendations for a successful Movie Analysis ? READ your notes regarding the requirements for all written work. This is an academic assignment so it must include page numbers, proper citation, etc. ? Although this paper is your reaction of sorts, the use of first person must be avoided, as it is discouraged in much academic writing. ‘What I learned in this movie clip was . ‘ is less effective than a concrete statement, ‘Much was to be learned from the film ?Life is Beautiful?.’ You want the reader to feel included. If you I, I, I, and me, me, me the reader is less likely to feel included. ? Analysis and evaluation require that you support the claim being made. Once a claim is made you must state why it is logical and how it was depicted. Use and reference to the concepts we’ve discussed is necessary. EXAMPLE: Application (below average- D)– Guido used nonverbal communication to communicate with his wife. Application (Average – C) — Guido used nonverbal communication to communicate with his wife, when he plays music that has meaning for the two of them. Analysis (Average – B) — Orbe & Bruess (2005) define historical context as the previous encounters within a relationship that influence future understanding. Guido used nonverbal communication to communicate with his wife, when he plays music that has meaning for the two of them. The historical context that exists between the two of them allows the wife to interpret the nonverbal message of affection from her husband. Analysis/Evaluation (Above Average – A)– ?Orbe & Bruess (2005) define? ?historical context? ?as the previous encounters within a relationship that influence future understanding?.? Guido used nonverbal communication to communicate with his wife, when he plays music that has meaning for the two of them.? ?The historical context that exists between the two of them allows the wife to interpret the nonverbal message of affection from her husband. ?Without the history that Guido shared with his wife, the message would have had little, if any understanding.

MLA In-Text Citations: The Basics
Guidelines for referring to the works of others in your text using MLA style are covered throughout the MLA Handbook and in chapter 7 of the MLA Style Manual. Both books provide extensive examples, so it’s a good idea to consult them if you want to become even more familiar with MLA guidelines or if you have a particular reference question.
BASIC IN-TEXT CITATION RULES
In MLA Style, referring to the works of others in your text is done using parenthetical citations. This method involves providing relevant source information in parentheses whenever a sentence uses a quotation or paraphrase. Usually, the simplest way to do this is to put all of the source information in parentheses at the end of the sentence (i.e., just before the period). However, as the examples below will illustrate, there are situations where it makes sense to put the parenthetical elsewhere in the sentence, or even to leave information out.
General Guidelines
- The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1) upon the source medium (e.g. print, web, DVD) and (2) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited page.
- Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry on the Works Cited page.
IN-TEXT CITATIONS: AUTHOR-PAGE STYLE
MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author’s name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. For example:
Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (263).
Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263).
Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).
Both citations in the examples above, (263) and (Wordsworth 263), tell readers that the information in the sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Works Cited page, where, under the name of Wordsworth, they would find the following information:
Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. Oxford UP, 1967.
IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR PRINT SOURCES WITH KNOWN AUTHOR
For print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation.
Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as “symbol-using animals” (3).
Human beings have been described as “symbol-using animals” (Burke 3).
These examples must correspond to an entry that begins with Burke, which will be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of an entry on the Works Cited page:
Burke, Kenneth. Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method. University of California Press, 1966.
