The paper prompt 

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Film

# The Revisionist Western: Explain how Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is exemplary of the revisionist Western. In order to do so, you must address the primary features of the classic Western. Citing specific scenes/characters/visual details, explain how the film expresses the waning relevance of the genre’s classic era. Be sure to address how social/historical/political context rendered the classic stage as an outmoded and irrelevant form of cultural expression

IMPORTANT REMINDERS

• Use the readings rigorously: Successful papers will show extensive knowledge of the genre under consideration as it has been presented to you in the readings. You may use the lecture content as well but focus on applying the themes and major generic tendencies outlined in the assigned readings.

Do not plagiarize: Submit your own words and ideas only. If you incorporate a quotation from a film, reading assignment, or lecture, you must cite them properly. Plagiarized papers will earn an F and a student conduct incident report will be filed with the Dean of Counseling Services.

## You can find all the in class lecture PDF as an Outline and the readings we took in the class on the attached files, You must use them both as a reference.
