For this assignment, you will be watching the “Age 21 in America” documentary (see link below), and choose 4 of the characters in the movie to reflect on their trajectories. Make the character names bold in your first paragraph where you are telling me who you will be talking about in the paper. Character names should not be in bold in the rest of the paper. In the body of your paper, dedicate at least one paragraph to each character. For each character, you should integrate one concept/theory from the lecture to explain what happened to him/her. E.g. what did we learn in class that could explain why person X ended up in such great/bad place? The concepts/theories must come from adolescent or early adulthood chapters, NOT the earlier chapters. Even things like parenting styles are not okay to include. Also, needless to say that the theories should be different from each other (e.g. you can’t talk about two characters’ identity statuses and count this as two concepts). Theories and concepts must be in bold text. To be clear, your paper should include a total of four theories/concepts (one for each character).
