Shooter Paper Proposal

I am doing my research paper on the movie Shooter, which is based off the book Point of Impact by Stephen Hunter. The purpose of my paper is to show the difference between the book and the movie. But the problem is that even though my movie is based off a book, it is very hard to find out what I actually have to write about for 8-10 pages. The whole 8-10 pages thing is really throwing me off right now. I know that I am capable of writing 8 pages, but right now I’m pretty confident that half of those pages are going to be a load of crap that shouldn’t even be written in the first place. The only thing that I have going for me is that the movie has younger characters and that the movie was based on an Iraq War veteran rather than the book’s version, which was about a Vietnam vet. I just don’t see how I can stretch this topic to eight pages. The only thing that I have going for me right now is that I do have an awesome title right now: Marky Mark’s Got Swagger, But Should He? Now you might not completely understand it now, but just wait. Mark Wahlberg is the main character whose name is Bob Lee Swagger and is a complete badass in the movie. Now look back at what my title is. Mind Blown.

    I agree that alot of our papers will be half crap and half quality. I love the title! My mind has been blown.

    Have to admit, I do like the title. and don't worry, we are all in the same boat with putting alot of crap in them. I'm sure you'll do great on it

    I think that if you take a social/historical approach to the film, you will do just fine. And really guys...8-10 pages isn't very difficult if you like the topic you are working with. If you don't, pick another topic to write on.
