Ask yourself this question: What are the important aspects of every-day life in Paris as presented in the two films (Paris, I Love You and Amélie), and the two readings (The Man Who Could Walk Through Walls and The Two-Penny Bar)? What aspects of the city are high-lighted in the films? in the stories? What kinds of spaces seem particularly relevant to the characters' stories?

How do the authors/directors describe city life? What do they seem to value through their presentations or descriptions? How does this environment impact the characters as they move through the events which control their life?

To adequately develop this analysis, you should carefully do the following:

discuss each reading and film individually
compare ideas which appear in more than one film or reading
contrast ideas which may appear contradictory
draw evident conclusions from your analysis
