The final is like a 2 pager with a thyroid condition.  You look at a larger topic in greater depth.  For example, if you did a 2 pager on a perfume ad, you'd do a final paper on perfume advertising, looking at a variety of ads for a variety of fragrances or manufacturers, and examine how those messages are composed and how they would affect their audiences.  Or compare blue-collar to sophisticated sitcoms and what they say about their audiences.  Or compare how two different news media (e.g., newspapers, TV) cover the same story:  is there a difference in word and/or pictorial choices and what effect do these differences have on their audiences?
