the attached file is my discussion post. please edit it to meet the requirements:
1. A thesis statement. The first sentence of your paragraph should restate the portion of the question you be answering, cite a source (using APA-style, even for films) and preview the main point you will be making in your answer:
Audiences are fascinated by killing for a living because movie mercenaries often defend the weak from the powerful (Costanzo, 2019, p. 56).
2. A direct quotation from either a reading or a film:
According to Costanzo (2019), a wuxia hero is "often an independent mercenary swordsman who follows a strict moral code, not unlike the Japanese ronin, the European knight errant, or the hired gun of the American West" (p. 56).
3. Specific examples:
In Seven Samurai (Kurosawa and Motoki, 1954) and the Magnificent Seven (Sturges and Sturges, 1960), the mercenaries worked for pay, but accepted only what the people they were defending could afford such as rice and the low fee of $20.
