Problem
Compare and contrast The Public Enemy and The Godfather as examples of the gangster film genre.
That is, first write about how The Public Enemy contains some of the gangster genre conventions (such as character types, themes, and setting) described by Barsam and Monahan in Looking at Movies Chapter 3. Then discuss whether The Godfather adheres to those same conventions as you compare and contrast the two films.
Organize your paper with an introduction and a conclusion. Make sure there is a thesis statement in your introductory paragraph.
