· What is the significance of Norman Bowker’s final actions in the story?

· What ideas/themes/messages are explored in this story that you have seen explored elsewhere in the novel?

· Make a list of the many symbols of this story!

peaceful lake in the city-mucky lake in the war

little hikers-his past and childhood

medals-honour and past actions

Norman Bowker is clearly exhibiting signs of PTSD and depression. He has an empty look in his eyes and it seems as though he is stuck in some memory of his. During his visit to my office he was subdued and unresponsive, he didn't want to talk about anything. (at least not with me). Of the little amount he did say during our session and judging by his behavior, I can say, with utmost confidence, that this Norman Bowker is suffering with PTSD and depression. (Maybe even suicidal thoughts, or at least passive suicidal ideation). I would recommend getting him someone he trusts and is willing to open u to, having weekly check-ups with him, and getting him some medications if he shows no signs of getting better.

2. How did the young soldier believe that the flashlight 'caused' Kiowas death?

3. Why did each of the men feel personal guilt for Kiowas death?

   
   

   Magic Sentence: Tim O'Brien uses inner monologue and strong language to emphasize the guilt and responsibility each of the soldiers felt for Kiowas death.

1. How does Tim O'Brien say that being in the front lines of the war (constantly in danger) brings the soldiers together.

2. Why was he so angry at the new medic? Do you think he was justified in his anger?

3. Why did he want to stay at the forefront of the conflict, even though there was death everywhere?

4. was Tim O'Brien really angry at Jorgenson? What did he mean when he said: ''I hated him for making me stop hating him.''?

   
   

   ''I'd turned mean inside. Even a little cruel at times. For all my education, all my fine liberal values, I now felt a deep coldness inside me, something dark and beyond reason. It's a hard thing to admit, even to myself, but I was capable of evil. I wanted to hurt Bobby Jorgenson the way he'd hurt me. For weeks it had been a vow—I'll get him, I'll get him—it was down inside me like a rock. Granted, I didn't hate him anymore, and I'd lost some of the outrage and passion, but the need for revenge kept eating at me.''

I was able to answer the questions and add to the thoughts which we discussed. It was a meaningful lesson which let me really think about the meaning and impact of the novel.

2. What could be better next time?

I could maybe speed up my answers, as we didn't have enough time to finish all of our prepared questions.

3. What would help you improve and enjoy the seminar?

I would like it to be slightly longer, because by the time we were able to get into depth about all of the questions we were finished with the lesson.

Edit: Society of course also plays a big role in our associations and emotions when we are presented with colours. We use phrases such as 'I'm feeling blue' or 'turning green from disgust' or 'to see red' to emphasize our emotions, so these colours will automatically be associated with the linked emotion. Culture also adds to our perception of colours and their associations, some cultures have different words for colours, like in english we say light blue and dark blue, other languages have completely different words and make no connection between light blue and dark blue as we do because they do not see them as shades of the same colour, but rather as two completely colours. (Like the way we see pink and red as two colours and not as dark red and light red)

Visuals are used in this advertisement to create a sense of disgust in the audience. A big close up picture of a moldy burger covers half of the poster, immediately drawing the viewers eye, this is done by using the focal point advertising strategy. Our gaze is directed to an enlarged image of the burger, with the words 'day 29' next to it, a reference to the McDonalds burger time-lapse video which showcased the amount of preservatives and chemicals involved in fast food chains. Overall, this enlarged image of the moldy burger is the main visual component of the poster which invokes disgust in the viewer.

EDIT: I think that this convinces the consumer to buy burger king because we are constantly told that preservatives are toxic chemical and bad for us, but their function is to keep food edible and safe, if they were no preservatives in our food then we would be eating moldy or stale food.

1. What authorial choice do each of the 4 body paragraphs focus on?

• The subject of the AD, Setting/Background, Colour, Textual Features.

2. What value message(s) does the student identify in the ad?

• Success, Pride, Satisfaction, Fulfillment, Achievement.

3. Identify the thesis sentence of the response and all "L" sentences that link to it.

Thesis Sentence:

• Through this advertisement Fiat uses visual rhetoric, text, and other stylistic features to communicate the message to the growing working-class of India, that now is the right time to invest in a car.

''L'' Sentences that link to it:

• By showing the state of euphoria and pride that the subject of the photograph is in, Fiat conveys the fulfillment of owning a car.

• Fiat, using the car’s appearance, is therefore able to further attract the audience to buy a car from them.

• By using these textual features, Fiat convinces the audience that there has never been a better time to make this investment.

4. Study the examiner's comments and sum up what 2 "mistakes" kept the student from achieving the 5 markband in criteria A, B and C.

• Needed more on the language analysis, not just the visuals.

• The transition between paragraphs are very good, but not excellent, causing the student to remain at a 4 markband.

To subvert a take, we use the language of cinematic storytelling to lay track for the audience, showing them a movie in which the fully expect to be surprised by standard-issue twists of the genre, only to reveal not just a twist, but a completely new layer of storytelling at work.

○ What is the global issue the student presented?

Gender Equality and women not being taken seriously.

○ What features of the selected extract do they include?

The use of the word 'crazy' to empower women, not dismiss them.

Use of real successful female athletes and real footage to show the audience that they are looking at a real problem.

Transcripts, Screenshots, Diction, Tonal Shift, Mid-shot of Serena Williams.

○ How many other moments throughout the video does the student discuss?

'When we stand for something we're unhinged' while a shot is played of female athlete. (Juxtaposition and repetition)

Using the word 'crazy' a lot and in a positive way in the second half of the transcript.

Focused on the achievements of female athletes, also as mothers later on, he used the example in the advertisement of Serena Williams.

○ To what extent is the student an expert on the entire campaign?

He connects many features and extracts of the video to the global issue in a well communicated way, I think he connects everything very well and understands the campaign.

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?

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.

- There is power in being a human: Individuality, Opinions, Emotions

- The greed and laziness of humans will cause its end.

- Only thinking about improvement and development of the 'perfect product' which will sell for the most money will create something unimaginable and terrible.

- If the men had still used their hands for manual labor and work, they would appreciate their lives more.

How love and beauty can skew our rational judgement and sense of humanity.

• Economic Advancement vs. Human Rights

How economic advancements can lead to the disregard of human rights.

• Work vs Freedom

• The Role of Violence in Human Progress

• Multimodal Texts (use of both visual images and written text)

  • Captions, display lettering, word balloons

  • Spatial mechanics, temporal mechanics, colour, shape

• Focus on a topic that is newsworthy (current and relevant to readers when the text is published)

• Dependency on the readers knowledge of the context

• Through humour, a serious point is made

Additional Features and terminology:

• Extended metaphor

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.

3. Historical reasons, public opinion, experience with what does/doesn't work, type of government in the country.

b. More specifically, the cartoon explores the takeover of AI Chatbots of human jobs and employment opportunities.

c. Overall, the main claim of the cartoon is that soon, everything will be done by AI, including our jobs and ''even your termination letter was written by ChatGPT''.

   He uses satire and caricature to directly criticize major figures, colour and composition through graphic weight to bring light to the major issue or topic he is deconstructing.

• First barbie ever

• Ruth Handler

• 1959

Wonder:

• Is she still made now?

• Was she controversial or popular?

THE ART OF PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

• Sets.

• Props.

• Lighting.

• Costumes.

• Actor blocking.

• Shot composition.

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.

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.

Music --> atmosphere

Dynamics

Deepened emotions of Ken

Added an undertone of triumph (music)

Dominant:

Sustainable brand, social and environmental goals, holistic approach, extend the life of garments (good quality).

Negotiated:

However, no specific action they will take, says it presents challenges but doesn't say how they will be overcome, doesn't actually show HOW they are sustainable.

Oppoitional:

ZARA is a fast fashion brand, therefore they are automatically NOT susainable.

○ 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.

○ Cadillac - difference between social classes

○ Sheep - In Persepolis, the sheep symbolize the unassuming masses who merely bear tyranny and fascism in silence.

○ Books - ...

○ God - faith, symbolizes comfort and security. Her childlike innocence and naivety draw her closer to her relationship with God.

○ Mirror - The mirror is the truth; it never displays false and fake appearance. It reflects who we truly are. Marjane was also seeking that truth when she looked into the mirror, she imagines herself in the future.

○ Letter - the letter symbolizes the harsh differences in social class in Iranian society.

○ Karl Marx - western influence and thinking, communism, progressive thinking

School starting hours are ruthless and repulsive, waking up so early to learn should be considered a crime. If schools start earlier; teens will have a better mood, and grades, and mental health, and be more alert. Making students wake up so early is horrible, hateful and heartless.
