Using Secondary Sources

I asked you to use a secondary source in your movie paper. I haven't talked about it lately, so I won't require you to do it. However, if you'd like to try to use a secondary source, here is how to use one.

Jamie Russell at BBC Films writes, "Now a classic, it's easy to forget how radical this once was. Capturing the youth subculture like no one before, Rebel's tale of gangs, chicken races and the burgeoning sexuality of adolescence points a wagging finger of blame not at the kids but at society itself." This is a good point, for the movie does a good job portraying parents' inability to understand their children. Jim's father thinks he is being fair when he is really indecisive. Judy's father thinks he is being firm when he really is just distancing himself from Judy.

--You should name the author of your secondary source. Notice that you use quotes. You can use a comma to set up a quote. Also, you should always talk about a quote. Tell the reader why you agree or disagree with the other person's idea. Also, when you quote or describe a scene from the movie, you should tell the reader why the quote or the scene is important.
