Essay 3: Critical Lens Length: 3-5 pages in MLA format, in addition to a Works Cited page. For this paper, you will use one or two of the readings from weeks 10, 11, or 12 on the course syllabus as a critical “lens text(s)” through which to view one or two music videos or television shows, which we’ll call “focal texts.” The lens text is your frame of reference; view the focal text through it. The point of this assignment will be to analyze how the lens text(s) modify, qualify, extend, corroborate, illustrate, and/or complicate your understanding of your focal text(s), and vice versa. The lens text’s argument is your frame of reference here. If you choose Harvey, for example, you might view a gangsta rap video through the lens of subjectivity; if you choose Kendall, your frame of reference might be that “people’s reading and viewing habits and their patterns of living reflect vicarious living” (211). You should spend more time discussing your focal texts than your lens text in this
