Then, choose one of the chapters you read, and watch a movie exemplifying the trait mentioned in the chapter.
Write a discussion and psychological analysis of the movie modeled on the Exemplar sections of Positive Psychology at the Movies.
? Will provide more somehow.
Savor the movies in detail, explain how actors or directors or cinematography (or whatever movie elements) are used to embody the virtues and psychological strengths.
? Creative descriptive vocabulary regarding scenery and emotions depicted by the seagull.
Feel free to bring into the discussion references to other movies in your life.
