Back to the Future

Welcome back, back to the future (or at least reality) that is.  It's a new school year and we are offering a new class at GA, and I am fortunate enough to be teaching it: Reading the Movies.  We started with one of my favorite films and it also happens to be the standard when it comes to time travel.  Marty McFly and Doc Brown manage to get themselves into some capers and alter history in their attempts to get Back to the Future.


Your task is to discuss how history is altered.  Think about the differences between 1985 at the beginning and end of the film and also which actions have caused the changes (it may be helpful to consult the three-column handout).  You need to write at least three hundred words discussing these changes and demonstrate good writing conventions while doing so.
