Think cinematically about both films and their female characters. Using cinematic evidence, write two paragraphs about how females are portrayed in each film. You will look at the films through a feminist lens. Additionally, write one paragraph on how the main female character's strength is portrayed cinematically.
For anyone interested, there is a good film guide to Persepolis here.

White Heat
In at least 3 hearty paragraphs, discuss White Heat, as well as the characteristics of the gangster genre and its role as an art form. In your discussion, bring in another gangster film you've seen on your own (The Godfather, Goodfellas, etc.). Your discussion should be in relation to the Warshow article I handed out on Wednesday and the idea of the gangster as an individual. I want to see at least 2 quotes from the article in your discussion. Don't forget, your film textbook has a great section on gangster genre.
