First, present your thesis statement. Using your theoretical lens and scholarly research, your thesis statement should pose a unique argument about your character's developmental stage.

Then, using your thesis statement as a guide, a two-to-three-page analysis of your character's life developmental stage, using information from the textbook and your outside research. Use these sources to say more about the character's behaviors, including life choices, relationships with other characters, etc. Be sure to include examples from the film to support your analysis. Examples might include specific scenes and brief dialogue from the film. Consider the impact of physical growth/decline, education, socialization, brain or cognitive changes, etc. If in childhood or adolescence, does parenting style or attachment play a role? Do not focus on your selected theorist in this draft.
