Analysis Of Buffy The Vampire Slayer

In the TV show of Riverdale, the main character, Archie Andrews, is much like Socrates because both of their decisions are based on whether to save themselves or to benefit society. The basis of this is that Archie has to decide whether to do something that goes against his best interest, (due to the societal torment both him and Miss Grundy will receive if their relationship is discovered) but will help society as a whole (by finding out information to help with the murder), or do the opposite and help himself, but not help society. This connects to Plato’s argument in the Crito as Socrates has to make a similar decision on whether to save himself, and hurt society, or save society and let himself die.

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode 410 “Hush,” a group of demon-like creatures known as The Gentlemen take over Sunnydale, stealing the voices of everyone in the town and the hearts of seven random people. At this point in the series Buffy and Willow start college and Buffy meets a boy named Riley, who is a teacher’s aide in their class. During class Buffy has a dream of a little girl holding a wooden box who is singing a cryptic rhyme about The Gentlemen that says things like “Can’t even shout” and “Can’t say a word.” After class Riley tries to get Buffy to tell him about her dream, but she tells him “I’m not saying a word.” The episode then goes to Xander and his girlfriend Anya. Anya is upset with Xander for never asking about how she feels, and tells him “we never talk.” The scenes foreshadow all the characters taking their voices for granted, and becoming overwhelmed when they are misinterpreted. When The Gentlemen steal their voices, it causes them to not be able to talk to each other, making them realize how important communication really is.

“Friday Night Lights” is a true story about a run-down town in Texas called Odessa. There are two high schools in Odessa, Odessa High School and Permian High School. The “slums” of the town were usually where the minorities lived, compared to the nicer parts of the town where the whites lived. When the two schools were combined, a black politician started a movement to s bring together the minorities and whites. The minority school was shut down (which is not what was intended) and the better athletes were sent to Permian High and the rest were sent to Odessa High. Because Permian was better known for their athletics, they received all the more athletic minorities. As the story moves along, Boobie Miles, the star running back for the

Zunshine’s theory of embodied transparency allows the audience to understand the perspectives of a character. She describes the moment in which the character’s body language involuntarily react to a stimulus. In “Freaks and Geeks” the concept of embodied transparency reveals the emotional complexity of Sam, Lindsay and Nick. Embodied transparency allows the audience to be engaged in the show because it provides a detailed characteristic of the character unseen by the audience. Restrain and transparency are wordless techniques that are solely based on the body language of the reviewers. The momentaneous demonstration of transparency and restrain provide a different point of view unavailable to the viewers that might subconsciously affect the perspective of the audience.

Analysis of Friday Night Lights Friday Night Lights is a good view of how football envelops the live of everyone in the Texas town of Odessa. While it does use football as a main theme, I don't believe it is a book mainly about sports. The story is mostly about the people in a town that has nothing to look forward to except football. The story chronicles the lives of a few players and their parents. The author describes their background, characteristics, and reactions to football and life

She lies to Buffy’s mother and says she and Buffy are good friends who had plans to study together that night, and because of her lack of knowledge about the vampire world, she invites the vampire inside to wait for Buffy’s return. Angel comes to the house wanting to apologize and explain things to Buffy, but when Darla convinces him to ‘take a bite’ of Buffy’s mother, he gives in, giving Darla the opportunity to sneak out. When Buffy returns, she finds Angel in the kitchen, and her mother on the floor with a bite mark in her neck. Buffy immediately blames Angel, and tells him he is no longer invited into her house. Since he is a vampire, he has to be invited in before entering a human’s house, forcing him to leave before he can explain what actually happened. When Buffy does find out that Darla was in her house, the “unhomey” and unheimlich feelings return to her. Freud states that “Naturally not everything which is new and unfamiliar is frightening… Something has to be added to what is novel and unfamiliar to make it uncanny” (The Uncanny. 2) which means that dealing with vampires is not an uncanny occurrence for Buffy, but having to deal with hurt feelings over Angel’s sudden uncanniness, Darla in her home, and her injured mother, makes the entire situation uncanny

In contrast to “16 Candles,” the show focuses almost exclusively on Buffy and her narrative. She is not overshadowed by the stories of the males in the series. In spite of this, Buffy is still implicated in the concept that females must have a male love object to talk about. Buffy and her friend Willow spend a considerable amount of screen time discussing crushes and love interests. Unlike in “16 Candles” though, the love interests discussed in “Buffy: The Vampire Slayer” are often nuanced, not based solely on popularity or physical appearance. Buffy does not always end up with the boy she is interested in and not all of her relationships are perfect, unlike in “16 Candles,” where Sam and Jake mutually like each other and end up together in the

In the book “the slayer” by Heather Brewer you can tell that he had accepted his destiny when he finally slays his vampier.

only she can do any damage to; whereas the men in her life (Pike and Merrick) must stand back or they might be hurt. But upon speaking, Buffy practically epitomized the reason for every “dumb blond female” joke. She did not understand big words, and spoke in the true stereotypical “California-girl” manner, using the “like” after almost every other word. She seemed like an airhead, and up until she truly understood what her destiny was, she spoke and acted like one. But the film version was meant to be a “flaky comedy”, while the television series is many times referred to being a “dramedy” (it is considered a drama, in this case, a science fiction/action drama, with a bit of comedy to keep it “light”.) In the television series, although Buffy still speaks in slang and still appears to be the reason a “dumb blond joke” was ever invented, her vocabulary has become much more mature and clear. She is more in control of what is happening, or has happened to her, and is beginning to harness herself as her own person, her own identity. She is not acting, or trying to be a certain type of person because everyone is telling her that “that” is who she is. Instead she is taking her identity and molding it; shaping it

In “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” Buffy is a attractive teenage female at Sunny Dale High School. A secret hero known to slay vampires and demons. Buffy is the main character in the show. Buffy excels in her agility to fight with strength, leadership, psychic abilities, super strength, danger senses and great super speed in order to fight the villains in town. This is a life about a teenage student who is characterized to play two roles but is stuck between trying to save people from vampires and trying to have a normal teenage life.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer directed by Joss Whedon was an American television series which came to air on March the 10th, 1997 until the last season in May, 2003. Buffy the Vampire Slayer was based on a young woman named Buffy Summers, who battled against vampires and demons in her hometown Sunnydale. Buffy was depicted as a strong female role model who was extremely loyal to her sister Dawn and her best friend Willow. She also gained a lot of power through fighting the vampires and demons, again showing her strong female role modelling in the series. Buffy was also a good listener to Giles her watcher/mentor and surrogate father figure, many of the techniques he taught her helped with her strength when fighting against the demons. Some of the features and film devices used to describe Buffy as a character included the camera angles and shots as well as the lighting techniques. These film devices and techniques were used throughout the series to help present Buffy as a strong female character. Buffy can also be compared to other strong fictional female role models such as, Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games (22ndMarch 2012), and a slightly weaker character, Elle Woods from Legally Blonde (11thOctober 2001). Consequently, Katniss was presented as a great role model because her qualities were admired and she was hard to like by other characters in the story, she also comes across as tough and hostile, whereas Elle was able to face challenges of being labelled as ‘the dumb

The show is not just about vampires and werewolves, but it also has other supernatural elements such as hybrids, witches and vampire hunters.

Where the audience can also connect with the character’s situations. Even though it’s a fictional show, it involves real life situations that an ordinary person can go through. The producer Julie Plec did a beautiful job with the plot, the relationship of the characters, how the show itself connected with the audience, and the setting.
