Suggestions
Compare the different approaches of documentary and factual exposition in “Inside the Tobacco Deal” and the fictional narrative of the feature film The Insider (1999, http://uk.imdb.com/Title?0140352)! Which is more persuasive? Which is more accurate? Study how reasoned argument based on factual evidence works compared to dramatization of emotions and characters.
