Cisneros uses this to specifically use the format of a script and replicate a telenovela by using the same format of a script in her story.

For the most part, stereotypical gender roles exist because society chooses to accept them, but it is easy to say that the media is a profoundly influential source to the problem. We constantly see gender stereotypes in film and television, where the man is portrayed to be the strong, dominant character; he is the breadwinner and the hero, while the woman is a damsel in distress waiting to be rescued. This type of representation of women is quite the opposite in film noir. The classic femme fatale of film noir is a strong and confident woman who disrupts traditional family values; she refuses to play the typical role that society prescribes. Instead, the femme fatale uses her beauty to manipulate men in order to achieve power and independence.…
It is viewed that in Latino culture, men are the dominant gender, and women are submissive to their male counterparts. However, in “Rain of Gold” written by Victor Villasenor, the character of Dona Margarita, a wife and a mother, possessed strength that was even able to boldly reprimand the character of her husband. Dona Margarita’s strength and support was valued in the book as one of the reason of fulfilling the family’s dreams. She was able to express her anger and frustration on her husband, Don Victor, when he gambled and got drunk. Her family felt hope when she did not give-up her hope that her daughter, Sophia, was still alive. Although she wanted to give the leadership role to her husband Don Victor, the book made it apparent that she is the strength of her family. However, the story also depicted Dona Margarita as a housewife whose primary role is to raise her children and manage the…
During the late 1970’s a time of national trouble that stemmed from the Vietnam War, the American-Iranian Hostage crisis and domestic economically strife, undermined long-held American cultural principles embodied in heroines such as “superman” as a representation of masculinity, America as the “good guys” and the American Dream. As a result these Idealistic dreams of were torn out of American hearts and replaced by more practical, logical “modern” principles reflected in the 1980’s which embraced the modern principles of materialism, consumerism, blockbuster movies and cable TV as an essential part of contemporary American culture. This era of change with heroines being replaced by their logical, “modern” counterparts, anti-heroes as relatable characters that appeal to the American economical dissention while keeping in toe with the principles of the American Dream.…
In the show Jersey Shore the cast demonstrates a number of stereotypes such as gender roles, a difference between male and a female, the behaviors of Italian American and the lives of young adults’. Some might think Jersey Shore is a good show to watch; however it shows the negative behavior and attitudes towards men, women and young adults in many ways. The show also sets a poor example for viewers by presentation these stereotypes in a negative way. After reading the Academic research and the article “The Reality Television of Reality Television” by Mark Greif it exposed me why these stereotypes are not good for the cast as well as for the viewers.…
This book looks closely at character development and how linguistics and dialogue further the development of the characters in a variety of television shows. The book specifically looks at Gilmore Girls in Part One, “Fictional Television: Dialogue and Drama,” and in the chapter “The Genre of Dramedy and its Audience.” In this chapter, Bednarek looks at the relationship between dialogue and genre, specifically the intertextual references and dramedy of Gilmore Girls. In analyzing the dialogue, Bednarek looks specifically at the “intertextual references to classical literature, popular culture, American and European history, celebrity, feminist activism and current events” (31). It also gives an overview of the show itself, discussing its commercial success and its place within both The CW and The WB. This will help me as I discuss the intertextuality within the dialogue and will help support my argument that the intertextuality in the episode and the show as a whole furthers character development and audiences’ perception of the characters.…
Language can be the source of comedy or the source of fear. Language can also help us determine the geological location of a person. Also to go along with this a person’s identity can be seen through language. This concept of identity seen through language, is what we saw in the book Homegirls by Norma Mendoza-Denton. Through this book she was able to show us the linguistic ethnography of the Sor Juana High School Latina girls in a neighborhood in Northern California. Many of the girls she documents in the book are part of the gangs Norte or Sur. Sor Juana High School is located in Santa Clara California and has a Hispanic population of 403,000 which is 24% of the population in the county. With the Homegirls book Mendoza-Denton shows us concepts of the Latina girl’s language and how it shapes them to the views of the outside audience. For this analysis I am going to focus on the hemispheric localism and Muy Macha, because these concepts shows how language can be expressed through body language or oral language.…
