Quote 1: "Monsters in movies are us, always us, one way or the other. They’re us with hats on. ... Monsters are us, the dangerous parts of us. The part that wants to destroy; the part of us with the reptile brain. The part of us that’s vicious and cruel. We express these in our stories as these monsters out there.”

- John Carpenter

Use what you have learned about the format of a position paper in the class. Remember MEAL for each of your body paragraphs. You may use the quote as a starting point for your own argument. You may agree or disagree with the prompts, so long as your thesis presents a clear point. (Note: your thesis should simply say “I agree/disagree with the quote,” but should specifically state what your argument is.) For your evidence, you can use examples from different movies, personal experience, your own logical arguments, etc. Since this is an in-class essay, there will be no outside sources, and you do not need a works cited page if you reference a film or show.
