@ Phil- Postmodernism Introduction & Structure

Hi Phil I was just wondering if you could check this essay plan and introduction over for me to make sure I am on the right tracks and that my structure does narrow down gradually to focus on a small thing.
I'm also not sure about the order of the first and second paragraphs. Is it better to introduce the film in a short paragraph before introducing postmodernism as a whole or the other way round?

Thanks! :)

Hi Emma,

I think there's an argument for starting with the paragraph on the film - but also using this paragraph to introduce the 'easy/everyday' use of the term 'postmodernism' in relation to the film, while conceding too that as a term, postmodernism is 'difficult'.

You do have a technical error in there however - you're using 'meta-narrative' to mean the same as 'meta-fiction' - and they're distinct; you should deal with the pre-fix 'meta' - meaning 'about its own category' and define 'meta-fiction' in relationship to the film. Meta-narratives describe the grand stories of religion, science and art etc. and are not relevant to your specific investigation. Otherwise, this looks content rich...
