If you are shy some percentages, or many percentages, you may do this exercise for extra credit. It will count the same as one paper.
We saw a video clip from NetFlix House of Cards in one of the classes. I love that show, and there are many story lines in the series. Two in particular involve Frank Underwood, the scheming congressman bent on gaining power, a female reporter, and another congressman who loves to party and gets caught. I have some clips for you to watch. Pick out one of the clips after watching them all. Give me the story you see in the clip, and then identify the purpose, act , scene, agent and agency. If you have trouble, just look at the other clips to help tell the story. If you have trouble let me know. Sometimes YouTube clips get taken down due to copyright, and thats always the problem with YouTube.
Once again I want just two pages, with 4 references.
This will be due on December 18, at 1:59pm.
Watch the clips below. They should be in order. The first one is the preview of the season to give you an idea who you are dealing with. Note there is a key scene in the preview that tells you what has happened to Frank and why he is doing what he does now.

This one has been pirated, but as you can see Peter Russo got drunk with the wrong person. Franks rules. You will probably have to turn this up to hear, but you can see what Frank is up to.
