When you just can't seem to find the right answer

Academic and Creative Project Overview

This page contains two distinct sets of content: a student’s inquiry regarding a film analysis assignment and a creative writing project detailing the design of a fictional ecosystem.

Film Analysis Assignment

• Task: Write a 500–700 word paper comparing two films (Green Book and Ford v Ferrari) to answer an "essential question."
• Goal: The student is seeking a compelling, "fun" question that allows them to write passionately about Ford v Ferrari while using Green Book as a secondary point of comparison.
• Proposed Question: "Is hero-worshipping or vilifying a real person or group of people in film ever the right thing to do?"
• Context: The teacher is open to various topics provided they explore a "deeper idea."

Creative Project: "Protos" Ecosystem

• Concept: A fictional, nebular-based ecosystem designed by a character named Levi.
• Key Components:
  • Protos: The name of the star system/nebula (Latin for "prime" or "first").
  • Hubels: Balloon-like creatures that travel through the nebula to collect hydrogen.
  • Potolites: Microbes living inside the Hubels that facilitate hydrogen oxidation (chemosynthesis).
  • Madili: Sticky, sulfur-based membranes on the planet "Primo" that act as decomposers by creating sulfuric acid to break down the Hubels.
• Technical Details: The system relies on chemosynthesis rather than solar energy, utilizing a nebula with a density of 5*10¹⁹ atoms per cubic meter.
