The student chose an appropriate topic for the essay, focusing on "The Godfather" and its exploration of the American Dream, which aligns well with the subject area. The research question was detailed and clearly defined, guiding the analysis effectively throughout the essay. The introduction presented the research question and rationale, connecting the film's themes to the significance of the American Dream. However, the student did not explicitly state what the analysis would offer, nor did they discuss how the essay would be conducted. Despite this, the student successfully incorporated relevant secondary sources to support the arguments and demonstrated a solid understanding of the relationship between the film and existing knowledge on the topic.
