Quinn Suydam -- Pan's Labyrinth Reflection.

  This is well-written and clear (as usual in your writing).  But
  much of the first page of the reflection paper is simply a recitation of 
  of portions of the plot of the movie.  That's fine to set the scene,
  so to speak.  But when you get to your discussion of the border between
  fantasy and reality in the film, what you say stays somewhat "on the 
  surface" and you don't really go very far into the implications of
  what happens in the movie or what it might mean for audiences.  For 
  instance, you say "It is also important to understand that this fantasy/reality 
  border affects the other characters in the story. For example, when Ofelia 
  messes up one of her tasks in the fantasy world, her pregnant mother becomes 
  ill in reality."  I don't know if you meant it this way, but what you wrote
  seems to be implying that there was a direct causal connection between
  Ofelia's mistake and the illness of her mother.  That's possible, I suppose,
  but only if you believe in the literal reality of the Faun and the other
  characters that Ofelia meets in her fantasy life.  So because that 
  might seem unlikely for at least some of us, isn't it also possible
  that when Ofelia's mother falls ill, it was just a difficult pregnancy
  in reality because her constitution was not strong enough to allow her
  to carry a fetus to term.  I would say that it's at least possible that
  Ofelia interprets her mother's illness *in her own mind* as a punishment 
  for the mistakes she made on one of her quests.

  Part of the subtlety of this film comes from the fact that we, as 
  the audience, have to negotiate that fantasy/reality border too.  We
  have to be constantly updating our ideas of what is real and what is
  only going on in Ofelia's imagination.
