Headline: bold text that reveals the topic of the article and should provide a hook for the reader.

Images: photographs of people and places are common features of magazine articles. They are almost always posed, not natural, and are often as prominent as the copy.

Layout: look out for box-outs, bullet points, ears and other kinds of layout features.

Entertainment: although they might be topical and current, most magazine articles are designed to entertain. Information may be displayed in an appealing way, using pull quotes and subheadings.

Buzzwords: being up-to-date, relevant and current means some articles make use of buzzwords and words that are popular at the time of publication.

Interactive Features: increasingly, articles that would traditionally have been printed in magazines are being published online. In this case, look out for interactive features such as embedded videos, hyperlinks and tabs.

Embedded interviews: experts on or participants in the topic at hand are often interviewed and quotations are used throughout the article. In the case of celebrity articles, the whole piece could be the write-up of an interview (see below).

Landing page analysis- How do the authors use the conventions of website to persuade the reader?

# data[].attributes.body
The Gympaba landing page informs and persuades the reader through the use of website conventions of image and layout. The first thing that catches the reader's eye is the slider with changing photos of happy students in a teaching environment. The photos are mostly headshots, with the school address written on top of them in white, immediately informing the audience of the schools location. Emphasising the credibility of the landing page is also the school logo, which is in the top left corner, along with the IB logo, which signifies the presence of an IB programme available at the school for new students. The web page authors used colours of green, white and black in order to create a sense of professionality and modern style. Also, the colour green is the primary colour of the logo of the school, making a subconscious connection between the landing page and the school itself. Overall, these features persuade the reader to find out more about the school, or to enrol their child in Gympaba over other schools.Informative, persuade new students parents to enroll in our school, to keep the current students updated, to provide information to current students parents.

○ Veil - traditional society, modesty, lack of autonomy (conformity), unveiling herself=unveiling the truth

○ Bicycle - the bicycle symbolizes the absolute commitment the revolutionary cause must be given in order for it to succeed, the wheels of the revolution must keep spinning for it to work, all people must work together like the parts of a bicycle to keep the movement going.

○ Key - The plastic key painted gold is a beautiful object from the outside, represents the image painted by the regime and underneath the truth of the regime

○ Swan - hope, humanity, and art. Despite living many years of his life in exile or prison due to his political beliefs, Uncle Anoosh manages to take what materials he has, see them creatively, and turn them into art. As well as a gift for marjane, he keeps on giving from anything he has.

In Barbie

# data[].attributes.body
1. How does Barbie challenge traditional gender roles throughout the film?

The role of women and men in society is switched--> Patriarchy vs. Matriarchy.

2. What does the film say about men or women expressing emotions?

The expectations of society for men to be emotionless and the opinion that women are too emotional and can express their emotions more freely. Also that society doesn't provide adequate support for people struggling with mental health and that any negative thoughts or emotions should be kept to ourselves, not talked about.

3. What are the societal constructs of masculinity and how does this play out in the film? What messages are there here for viewers of all genders?

The novelty of a male-dominant world to Ken, how he was almost aggressive towards barbie when he wanted her to like him, because showing emotions like care and love were not 'manly'. (This was after he got influenced by the real world.) Masculine energy and domination in the world.

4. Barbie is often seen as a symbol of femininity. How does the movie use her character to explore and question what femininity means?

She is firstly portrayed as perfect and always happy with no daily struggles, wearing only pink and looking amazing from the moment she wakes up until she goes to bed. Then she starts to question her reality and think about death, becoming more relatable to real women, facing the same struggles and coming back stronger than before when she overcame them. During her journey to becoming perfect again, she realizes that she doesn't want to go back to the Barbie world of perfection, but prefers real life struggles and to actually experience life as a human.

5. What did Barbie mean when she told Ken “Maybe all the things you thought made you, you, aren’t really you”?

Roles being pushed on people by society. Journey of self discovery, you do not have to be what society tells you, puts you in a box, you can be your own individual.

6. In the movie, Barbie says, "By giving voice to the cognitive dissonance of living under patriarchy, you rob it of its power." What do you think she means by this?

Accepting or realizing the truth can lead to better changes and to a better sense of self-understanding. When we question things, their power over us is lessened.

7. The movie criticizes more societal ills than just oppressive gender norms. What are some of these criticisms and how are they expressed?

Social conformity, materialism.

Post-watching Questions (first 30 mins of film)

# data[].attributes.body
What is your interpretation of the Kens in the film so far?

Shallow, side characters of little importance, dependent on the approval of barbie (mens and womens positions are switched in real life and in barbie land), childish.

What are your impressions of the cinematography of the film's first part in Barbieland?

Pink themes, a lot of full shots and medium long shots.

How do the look and feel of Barbieland and the behavior of the Barbies and Kens reveal an image of perfection and artificiality?

Always smiling, achievements, can do anything, always happy, everything is in place and prepared, everybody is synchronized and are friends, everyone talks at the same time, no 'elements' like wind water gravity etc. when not being used as a dramatic feature, everything is literally artificial, shiny and bright.

How does Gerwig satirize modern-day gender roles when Barbie and Ken enter the real world?

Reversed gender roles, objectification of women in the real world, ken feels empowered, barbie feels self-conscious and scared, misogyny.

What social messages does Gerwig communicate in Barbie?

Patriarchy, gender roles, misogyny, stereotypes, sexism.

What choices does she make to communicate these messages?

Juxtaposition, irony, metaphors, satire, dialogue.

# data[].attributes.body
How might the film use the Barbie concept as a lens to comment on broader cultural issues?

Pressures and expectations that individuals (particularly women) face.

Balancing personal aspirations with societal norms (being ambitious as a woman)(when a woman wants to be seen as equal in a male-dominated position/industry).

How might the film approach Barbie's character in terms of development and empowerment?

By addressing societal pressures and beauty standards women face today.

By using Barbie as an inspiration for young girls, to show them that they can be anything they want- like Barbie. (Barbie also faces struggles and issues).

Do you anticipate any challenges or transformations that the character may undergo?

Self-discovery.

Breaking out of the 'perfect' mold of the barbie world and persona- connecting with human issues.

HW- "How and why is a social group represented in a particular way?"

# data[].attributes.body
We, as people, have unconscious associations, beliefs, or biases toward any social group. We see them as 'outsiders' and people don't usually accept anything 'different' into their day to day lives very easily. This makes it easy for us to create our own picture or idea of a social group and put them all into the same box, grouping them together without knowing all of the individuals because of preconceived notions which we have because of our culture or environment. By taking one positive or negative characteristic about someone, we tend to generalize it and apply it to all aspects of their life or to their social group.

Some people believe that a sentence can be feminine, as Virginia Woolf argues. Some authors use these preconceptions to their advantage when writing in the POV of a male/female character. A 'feminine' sentence (or piece of writing) could be interpreted as gentle or uses more describing words, or focuses on smaller issues, whereas a 'masculine' sentence (or writing) is associated with the big issues such as power or war, there is also the belief that men write more directly than women. After this class, I realised that I also carry these beliefs based on stereotypes and that good authors use this to their advantage to influence the reader to have a specific view on a character or their writing.

1.

President of USA-

The rejection of globalisation and embracing of patriotism, no support or recognition of the International Criminal Court. Feelings that the USA has given the world aid, but given none in return. 'America is governed by Americans' --> rejection of other nationalities and the almost isolationist foreign policy.

Prime Minister of New Zealand-

Kindness is pursued in NZ, along with good international relations and 'doing their part' to keep international peace and security, being open and accepting of international order.

2. I agree with Jacina Ardern, PM of New Zealand that open international relations, kindness, empathy and promoting peace and universal values is essential for the balance of international order.

9. The author uses an isolated setting to enhance the feeling of dissociation from the real world. It is mentioned multiple times that the factory and its management are based on an island, neither in Europe nor in America. The characters as well as their world are dissociated and disconnected from society and non-business related human interactions, this makes them isolated and (ironically) less human.

10. The author uses symbolic names for the characters to represent the real world, its persons and dynamics in the play. The names are chosen according to linguistic similarity to real words- Domin-Dominance; Farby-Fabricate -or based on historical and biblical references. Each of the characters names and traits represent real human emotions and behaviours which we display.

A Bird came down the Walk PEEL paragraph

# data[].attributes.body
Robots are unloading firearms from the boat Ultimus and the humans barricade themselves inside

Men are arguing over whose fault the uprising/revolt of the robots is:

Hallemeier: Nobody is to blame except the Robots.

Alquist: No, it is we are to blame. You, Domin, myself—all of us. For our own selfish ends, for profit, for progress, we have destroyed mankind. Now we’ll burst with all our greatness.

Dr Gall then admits to tampering with the robots (with Helena's persuasion/idea):

Dr. Gall: I changed the character of the Robots. I changed the way of making them. Just a few details about their bodies. Chiefly—chiefly, their—their irritability . . . They’ve ceased to be machines. They’re already aware of their superiority, and they hate us as they hate everything human.

They want to go and negotiate with the robots, Busman goes out with half a billion but touches their electric current fence and dies.

Robots begin their attack and the electric works fail, Hallemeier gets stabbed.

Radius (Robot leader) does not kill Alquist because he works with his hands like the Robots. Act II ends with Radius making a 'speech' to the other robots.

Radius: You will work! You will build for us! You will serve us! (Radius climbs on the balcony) Robots of the world— (Robots straighten up.) the power of man has fallen. A new world has arisen, the rule of the Robots, march.

Entry about Poem: a Bird came down the walk

# data[].attributes.body
I think that maybe she viewed all animals/creatures as 'human' in a sense, for example when she calls the Earthworm a 'fellow', like you would a human.

She seems really curious and sort of lets her thoughts flow on paper, like when she says 'they looked like frightened Beads, I thought'.

Now that I read the poem a second time, I don't think that the bird is 'bad', more so Dickinson is simply describing the beauty of the nature we see every day, even if its just a bird eating a worm. She also describes his flight as elegant and admires him, not wanting to scare him off. I think this is what she alludes to when she says she writes 'like one in danger, cautious' where I think she doesn't mean in real danger, just uses a simile to show that she didn't want to disturb him, finding the bird fascinating. Perhaps she meant that she saw the bird as a predator in the natural world, but wasn't scared of him herself.

I also think the bird is a symbol of nature, as he stands for the everyday aspects and simplicity (even routine or repetition) of each day in nature.

Another thing I noticed was the way the words flowed in a sentence, the use of worlds such as 'convenient', 'glanced', 'hurried', 'stirred', 'unrolled' are almost unconventional in the context which she uses them, and it makes the poem sound more unique and quirky.

The analysis uses a great hook to draw the reader in, and uses many connective and describing words to help the text flow and to enhance the understanding. They offer insightful and unique ideas which connect well to the purpose and central idea of the advertisement, as well as to the Global Issue which they named as 'freedom and control, as well as traditional masculinity'. They then use magic sentences to highlight the features used and their effect on the reader, ending the text with a well written conclusion which offers an individual perspective into the role of 'traditional masculinity' and how the criticism of it in the past years may have helped to sell the product to insecure men, promising to sell them not only a motorcycle, but 'manliness' aswell.

1. Read Act I, annotate for big ideas, interesting quotes, nuggets of language, literary devices.

Helena. At once, Harry. I’m so frightened.

Domin. (Takes her) About what, Helena?

Helena. It’s as if something was falling on top of us, and couldn’t be stopped. Oh, take us all away from here. We’ll find a place in the world where there’s no one else. Alquist will build us a house, and then we’ll begin life all over again.

She predicted the events further on in act 1, Helena still defends the robots (Primus) even when hes 'malfunctioning'.  The robots begin to have human-like traits and seek world domination and to wipe out the human race, only leaving work. (Work is still the most important thing to them.)

2. Make an entry in your LP, answering the following:

3 things I know

Some robots begin to malfunction.

Domin marries Helena and she stays at the factory with him.

The robots are being 'improved' and 'advanced'.

2 things I predict

Robots will begin to rebel

The will become more and more human-like, but with superhuman abilities (so if a human vs. robots war breaks out the humans will have very little advantages).

1 thing I wonder about

Will any of the robots have emotional attatchment to humans, or be willing to sacrifice themselves for a human? I know they don't fear 'death' but will they have a 'moral' or 'ethical' compass as humas do?

2. What is the dynamics between human characters and the newly introduced robots?
The human men don't treat the robots as human, they constantly undermine them and treat them only as machines made to do work with no emotional attachments.

3. Identify 2-3 conflicts introduced in the prologue.
We are introduced to many characters and their clashing ideals Domin (in charge of the robot factory) and Helena (who came to rescue or free the robots).

4. Discuss the role of 1-2 specific objects or actions as symbols.

5. Identify one instance of what you think might be foreshadowing.
