Discuss a topic on the movie Ghost World. Write an intro. Write at least two body paragraphs. Add a short conclusion, nothing fancy. Did you feel that the movie was realistic? an accurate picture of teens’ summer after graduation? Why? Did you go through similar circumstances? Emotions? Losses? Hopes? Worries? Promises? and so on.
You could analyze the friendship between Enid and Rebecca; or, Enid and Seymour.
You could discuss whether the dialogue is realistic. In what way? Is it similar to what you have experienced?
You could discuss the identity crisis Enid is having. She changes hair colors, puts on masks, tries out different personas.
Why are Enid and Rebecca mean and sarcastic? Are they that way? Is it because of their own insecurities? Do you know anyone like them?
What is it that attracts Enid to Seymour? Or, why does Seymour allow his friendship with Enid? What does he gain from it?
After all that happens to her, what do you foresee as her future? Why? Is she a survivor? It is possible to select a favorite scene and analyze why you like it. The setting? the music? the dialogue? the situation? the cinematography? (the photography, or camera work).
