Shonda Rhimes And Fogelman Analysis
My Inspiration for Obeying God’s Call to Write Stories Worth Telling
Storytelling is a sacred past time for my family; my ancestors engaged in storytelling to preserve, and pass along family history from one generation to the next. However, my love for telling stories is evolving from the tradition to inspirational entertainment. In fact, television writers, Shonda Rhimes and Dan Fogelman are inspirations for my desire to obey God’s calling on my life. Both authors, Shonda Rhimes and Don Fogelman, are writing compelling scripts and television screenplays that constantly tap human emotions, arrest viewers’ attention, while creating a loyal following of viewership.

    Donna Haraway's Analysis

    This semester, the readings were a bit challenging, but overall I enjoyed the readings. It has always been very difficult for me to understand Donna Haraway, but by discussing her in class and giving examples, I was able to have a better understanding of her topics. Throughout her work Modest_Witness@Second_Millennium. FemaleMan©_Meets_OncoMouse: Feminism and Technoscience, Haraway explains that cyborgs are constructed as the postmodern icon in today’s society, because of science. Haraway explains that, “Biology was interesting not because it transcended historical practice in some positivist epistemological liftoff from Earth but because natural science was part of the lively action on the ground” (Haraway 1997, 104). Biology not only determines…

    Fantasia Barrino

    • 272 Words

    My first choice would have been a movie called Freedom Writers, however, since Brittany has already discussed it I’ll discuss another movie. The movie that is the next most powerful story I know is called “The Fantasia Barrino Story: Life Is Not a Fairy Tale.” Most of you probably have seen it before, if not you probably remember Fantasia Barrino whom was the winner of American Idol: Season 3. When Fantasia Barrino was in high school she was raped, she felt so alone after the attack and thought no one would believe her so she dropped out of school. Now Fantasia was a teenage dropout who had no money, no education and no chance at a real future. At 16, Fantasia found herself in an abusive relationship that left her pregnant and lost. But she refused to give up on her dreams. This movie tells how this inspiring young single mom used her incredible voice to become an American Idol, as well as a Grammy®-nominated, platinum-selling recording artist. This movie was very emotional because when the movie got towards the middle I was crying my eyes out. This movie has made Fantasia Barrino my idol and it had a really huge impact on me because my story is similar to hers so I can relate. The author of this movie had an effect of her audience by the way the movie was interesting from beginning to the end. Another way is because this movie is very encouraging to young women and even some men too. In my narrative next week I would like to write about never giving up on your dreams.…

    Essay On Shonda Rhimes

    • 1638 Words
    • 7 Pages

    As explained by comedian Dave Chappelle in the quote above, in order to achieve progress in matters like race, it has to be openly addressed, especially by mass media. And this is where Shonda Rhimes has failed with television. Undoubtedly, she has created space for ethically flexible and multifaceted female characters in network television through shows that challenge audiences – something rare outside of cable nowadays. Her protagonists – two of them black – are successful women, which demonstrates she is willing to defy common notions of race and, especially, gender. Nevertheless, in all her shows, Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder, race is never a part of the dramatic situations that drive the characters’ narratives.…

    Similarly, Tanner discusses the desires of the audience, in this case captive audience;she suggests that rather than ignore the “real”, the real is obscured from them. She questions whether “we ever receive information or entertainment without thinking about where it actually comes from” and what the persons creating the images “represent” (399). The significance of the difference between A and T’s ideas about the audience’s engagement with reality is that A puts the responsibility on writers as a collective, while T suggests that it is the individual’s responsibility to make these distinctions to between the imagined and the real clear to society.…

    Donna Haraway's Analysis

    • 7 Pages

    The relation, as defined by Donna Haraway in the Companion Species Manifesto, is the “smallest unit of analysis and the relation is about significant otherness at every scale” (Haraway 24). The ideal relation between two companion species, a term that Haraway describes for “bodies that matter” or equal species in a mutualistic relationship, prominently relies on the notion where neither species is a whole or a part (Haraway 6). To Zygmunt Bauman, a sociologist known for his work of Modernity and the Holocaust, this will never be achieved unless the species barrier, a “non-universal universe of moral obligations based on the putative human need to draw boundary lines and become involved in guarding those boundaries” is eradicated (Yates PT 1:…

    Stories have been around for thousands upon thousands of years. From the cavemen telling their hunting stories, to the epics of Achilles and Beowulf, stories have played an important role in all of our lives for as long as we can remember. But what makes stories so important? Is it because of the entertainment and thrill? Or, are stories just a big waste of our time? Salman Rushdie author of Haroun and the Sea of Stories believes that stories are important in everyone's lives. Stories are everything to Haroun and and his father Rashid in the novel. “What’s the use of stories that aren’t even true?” (22). Stories are important because they can provide hope, bring families and communities together through entertainment and enjoyment, and can spark curiosity and wonder in anyone and everyone.…
