    Take a look again at high school stereotypes through the short lived television series from the late 90’s, Freaks and Geeks. Based on the pilot episode of Freaks and Geeks, media techniques are used effectively to depict the different stereotypes in high school. The camera shots & movements are used adequately to show the power of the bullies and the weakness of the victims. For example, when Sam Weir is approached by Alan (the bully), at lunch, the camera is pointed upwards towards Alan’s face to make him seem bigger and scarier while the camera would be pointed down on Sam’s face making him seem smaller and inferior to Alan (Kasdan 1999). This example…

    This might be a general stereotype, homosexual males being viewed as mentally ill but on the other hand, have a vast imagination and are very fashionable. However, this stereotype isn’t accurate. Having actual gay friends, they should not be viewed as mentally ill, as they have a cheerful and energetic personality. This chapter will examine the villains from five full-length animations; Peter Pan (1953), Robin Hood (1973), The Little Mermaid (1989), Aladdin (1992), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) and Hercules (1997), and see how the stereotypes are applied and being created through their commonness.…

    This is depicted through various techniques such as rhetorical questions and similes. For example, Harry has come to the realization that he must die and ponders on his self worth. “Why had he never appreciated what a miracle he was, brain and nerve and pounding heart?” This rhetorical question exemplifies his understanding of his significance and capabilities as an individual, therefore a realization of whom he is (belonging to himself). This assists him in completing his mission in the novel despite the difficulties. Similes construe belonging to oneself in the novel, with: “Like rain on a cold window, these thought pattered against the hard surface of the incontrovertible truth, which was that he must die,” displaying his emotions as he finally comes to terms with his mission. The recognition of who he is and his full potential helped him finally comprehend that he must die. Illustrating that he had reached a fulfillment of character thus finally belonging to himself wholly, in turn helping him overcome his…

    Many people would say that the ABC series Once Upon a Time is a lousy show, is unrealistic, and does not make sense or follow a good storyline; but over its first six seasons, Once Upon A Time has stolen my heart time and time again for many reasons. These writers and the creators of this show Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis have re-created many people's favorite scenes from their favorite movies like Prince Charming finding snow white and Waking her up with true love's kiss, or beauty and the beast dancing together, and they brought so many favorite and new characters to the show unlike anything before.The writers changed classical fairy tale stereotypes, they give the villains a chance at happy endings, and a deeper backstory than usual,…

    The movie relates to the topic of the course, as it focuses on narratives of adolescence in European cinema. It takes place in a far off dimension in the United Kingdom, contains a unique combination of basic teen everyday dilemmas, social relationship matters, mental maturity conversion, and various turning points shadowed by a super natural kick. I plan to explore different influences within Harry's life - his parents and parent-like role models, his friends, romantic relationships and rival enemies - to see how those relationships attributed to his maturing. Consequently, the point of focusing on society will result in a comparison of his decisions, which were much associated with protecting his kind and ensuring peace to the generations after him. The matter of taking responsibility for not only oneself, but also others, is very much relevant to the pressure many teens are feeling across the globe today. As the course focuses on gaining content and source for the coming of age subject through films, discussion and analysis of the Harry Potter movies will aim at gaining a…
