Prompt 3. How do you read the final scene of Thelma and Louise? Is it a fitting conclusion to the film? Does it shed new light on meanings of the road?

The main topic in the course is road narratives.

I need feedback for my essay. It's just a 3 page essay. I need also new ideas to finish my paper.

Re the feminist angle. Is it that different from the endings of Bonnie and Clyde (man and woman) or Butch and Sundance (two men)?

why is it off topic?

Thee cartoon is about about women rights in Saudi Arabia, and that's not the subject of your essay.
