Title: “Exploring the Comedic Genre: A Analysis of Raising Arizona and Genre Conventions”

In your essay, choose one of the films we watched in our comedy unit, either Raising Arizona or and analyze these films presentation of the comedic genre. What types of comedies are they? What ways do they adhere to the genre-plot or genre-characters? What ways do they perhaps deviate from those conventions? What elements do they use in order to be funny? Your thesis should answer the question: what makes this film a comedy? Be sure to cite specific scenes and technical elements the films use to support your thesis.
