Outline for the Second Term Paper

Introduction
A.    Films: Man of Steel, Identity Thief, and Hotel Transylvania
B.    Thesis- These three movies incorrectly illustrate the principle of Action and reaction during certain scenes.

Body
1.     Man of Steel
a.      Scene where he is standing with Lois Lane and flies away into the sky.
b.     Large action of flying away with no big reaction from ground and no reaction physically from Lois Lane
c.      Contrary to later in the film when he asks her to back away before he flies off so she does not get hurt from the reaction from his take off

2.     Identity Thief
a.      Diana, who stole Sandy’s identity, gets hit by a car.  The reaction her body has is correct.
b.     The aftereffects are not, she has no physical injuries or broken bones and gets up and walks away perfectly okay.
c.      Not the type of reaction a person should have after being hit by a car at that speed, the effects on the body should be more severe.

3.     Hotel Transylvania
a.      Scene where Frankenstein jumps into a pool
b.     The water does not react in a physically believable manner, he jumps from a great height and yet there is very little splash when he impacts, when there so the audience could see that his body splits apart, done more for humor than correct physics

Conclusion                                                     
1.     The principle of action and reaction is broken throughout these three films.
2.     These rules are broken for the purpose of humor and/or for the sake of story.
