In his book, More Than a Movie: Ethics in Entertainment, F. Miguel Valenti examines nine “hot buttons” of violence – “creative elements that filmmakers use to manipulate viewers’ reactions to onscreen violence.” (99) These elements, posited by researchers conducting The National Television Violence Study (Valenti, 99) are “choice of perpetrator, choice of victim, presence of consequences, rewards and punishments, the reason for the violence, weapons, realism, use of humor, and prolonged exposure” (Valenti, 100) .

Sarah Davis is fourteen years old and she is in the 9th grade. She live with her mom Karen and two little sisters Alexis and Taylor in Montgomery, Alabama. Her father died when she was 8 years old so it was just her, her mom, and her sisters. One of her favorite thing to do with her family was bake.

The use of the color in the settings, make the film very unique in a very good way. For example all of the houses are colorful. The buildings and houses are very well placed throughout the film. The bright colors and well placed houses make the scenes and the overall movie unique. The bright colors make the movie memorable, because bright colors stand out more than other duller colors. Another example of the films features that make the movie memorable are the characters. The characters in this film wear very flashy clothing, which shows the audience that the characters have

Family is the first structure that one becomes a part of and it has a huge impact on people’s life. Parents play an important part on a child’s development. Jess’s family had a significant impact on Jess’s emotional state. Hir parents did not give the love that a child would require from the beginning. Leslie Feinberg states, “My mother admitted she was afraid to touch me, except to pin on a diaper or stick a bottle in my mouth” (Feinberg 14). They treated hir as ze was different (?) .Another significant experience that Jess had in hir childhood was when

In the book “Overthrow” Stephen Kinzer breaks down the three different kinds of interference that the United States used to overthrow 14 countries. At the beginning of the book, we see that the United States overthrew Hawaii, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines because of their imperialistic grounds. The United States overthrew this countries to expand its power and also because they wanted to protect American businesses. In the second section of the book Kinzer discusses how America overthrew leaders that they felt were leaning towards communism; countries such as Iran, Chile, South Vietnamese, and Guatemala were some of these countries that got overthrown. Threats of communism was either misinterpreted or a veil to disguise imperialist

Much like Maeve’s trial and error phase, Erikson’s theory of identity versus role confusion explains psychological conflict of adolescence. This theory states that this conflict is resolved positively when adolescents achieve an identity after a period of exploration and inner soul searching. If a young person’s earlier conflicts were resolved negatively or if society limits their choices to ones that do not match their abilities and desires, they may appear shallow, directionless, and unprepared for the challenges of late adulthood. (p. 314). Maeve luckily didn’t make many choices that were resolved negatively. These social and emotional changes weren’t always easy for the rest of the family to deal with, but they were a part of her growth. With us there to provide nurturing support, she was able to develop her own healthy identity after her period of “soul searching.”

Shame and Doubt, Max’s failure to develop a healthy assertion in his independence causes him to become upset and easily frustrated, which manifests as shame and doubt. When he doesn’t get his way, his frustrations prompt him to yell and hit people. Max’s occasional enuresis, the necessity to sleep with a night light, and his preference to engage in solitary activities, also reflects the lack of affirmation he has in himself to control or conquer the world around him. (Berzoff, J., et al, 2011, pp. 103) Kathleen, Max’s mother, has experienced numerous traumas throughout her own stages of development, with the most influential while she was attempting to establish success in Erikson’s Identity vs. Role Confusion. Since being molested during the beginning of her adolescence, she failed to establish a sense of identity. Her identity crisis manifested as experimenting sexually with different men and relationships. Kathleen’s inability to establish a virtue of fidelity directly affects her relationship and support in her son’s

Utilizing three of the give conventions of graphic novels was a fun task to do. The three I chose, colour, line and space, where the ones that I felt were the most necessary to create an appropriate mood/setting. For the colour I tried to not only follow what the 1996 film created but also what moods the colours give. I chose red for the chairs/runner

Shortly after the end of WWII, British Intelligence officer Hugh Trevor-Roper was given the task to establish the facts of Hitler's end, and thereby to prevent the growth of a myth. His report, later published as “The Last Days of Hitler”, draws on Allied intelligence's interrogations of survivors who spent time in the bunker during the last ten days of Hitler's life. Trevor-Roper organizes his book chronologically, but it's more a series of character sketches than a strict time line of events. We see a raving, physically broken, nearly insane Hitler contemplating both his heroic death and the complete and

During the process of envisioning and designing a film, the director, production designer, and art director (in collaboration with the cinematographer) are concerned with several major spatial and temporal elements. These design elements punctuate and underscore the movement of figures within the frame, including the following: setting, lighting, costuming, makeup, and hairstyles.

A subtle exploration of the subliminal human mind and identity, Ingmar Bergman’s film Persona is a visual delight. The film is about two women, Elisabeth Vogler and Sister Alma, who personas fuse together and develop through speech, silence and expression. While Elisabeth, an actress makes an aesthetic choice to be silent, Sister Alma attempts to break the actress’s silence her by talking about herself. For Elisabeth, her silence opens the door to enter a new reality where she can escape from the world she belongs to. She is exhausted from being an actress, a constant victim of public scrutiny who hides in front of the camera wearing someone else’s identity all the time.

The way the images and areas were described made me able to picture what was happening inside of my head. I was able to get to know the characters and their fears as well as their personality. The book is very well written.
