As represented in the two films “amelie” (le fabuleux destin d’amelie poulain) and “paris je t’aime”
“Compare and contrast the representation of Paris in Amélie, and Paris je t'aime.”
The dissertation should be about 7 thousand words in length. She needs to research her topic, have an introduction, sections, and bibliography. She will need to use a referencing system (we talked about the Harvard one and that is indeed fine to use).
