Part 2

Watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off Opening Monologue and Tuscon's Mexican-American Studies Ban Write a 200 - 300-word essay about one of the clips that answers the following questions. Please include at least one direct citation of Wallace (quote or paraphrase with in-text attribution), and feel free to cite any other sources you think are applicable: Is this clip primarily sincere (that is, does it seem to be proud of what it is without any attempts to deliberately undercut the tone or draw attention to itself as a constructed medium) or ironic? A mixture of both? What cues—visual, auditory, or linguistic—clue you in? Feel free to cite specific scenes. What impact does this sincerity/lack of sincerity have on tone of the clip? If irony is used, does it succeed? Why or why not? Take into account the subject matter being portrayed and the ways in which irony and/or metafiction are employed. What “meta” techniques (fourth wall breaking, narrative editorializing, self-reference, etc.) does the clip use? Do the techniques help the video achieve its intended purpose? Why or why not? https://www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=0KFVLWX7eEY https://www(dot)almadrigal(dot)com/vimeo-video/tucsons-mexican-american-studies-ban-the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart/
