Rodriguez begins to explain that his father was a principle of a school in mexico, and his mother was a school secretary. Both Rodriguez parents were unable to find a job within their profession in the U.S. This really describes how Rodriguez and his family grew up and how their lives were hard to live.

I’ve read many excerpts from books in my life. Most of them, I shrug off, or just don’t care about it after I finish it. That was until I read an excerpt of Always Running. Always Running is a book made by Luis J. Rodriguez. The book is explaining what he went through in his childhood.

Within chapter three, the author demonstrates poverty as being the primary reason why the novel is titled Always Running. Living in poverty for some people may mean not having enough money for their wants, but in the case of Luis J. Rodriguez poverty was doing things that were uncommon for a child. For example, “ I did a little bit of everything. Mowing lawns with Rano, picking up boxes and cleaning out people’s garages. I even did housework like my mother had done when we were younger.”(page. 68) At the age of nine Grillo had to learn how to work because his family did not come from good income or the luxury life everybody would want. Poverty may break or make a person and in this case Luis J. Rodriguez was trying to take his family out of poverty even though he was only a child. Luis J. Rodriguez was always running for a better life.

In hat way does the distinctively visual influence your understanding of people and the events within texts?

The film ‘Run Lola Run’ By Tom Tykwer skillfully demonstrates how texts use the distinctively visual to explore the human experience by elucidating time as a microcosm of which presents individuals with unexpected obstacles. This is evident through the opening scene where the audience is introduced to the protagonist Lola. Her journey is characterized as a manifestation of the microcosm in her race against time as she battles to save her boyfriend within twenty minutes. Tykwer establishes the connotation of time as microcosm through the opening shot where he uses intertextuality and epigraph by T.s Eliot ‘At the end of exploring we will arrive where we started”. The low angle as the camera pans to the gargoyle clock emphasizes the superiority

A composer can create images dependant on the form of the language of texts to shape a responders understanding of the ideas and themes prompted by people and their experiences. The German film, ‘Run Lola Run’ written and directed by Tom Tykwer, focuses on the experiences of the protagonist Lola to explore the themes of the inevitable force of time, and the issue of freewill verses determinism. Similarly, Dorothea Mackellar, in her poem ‘My Country’, relies on her experiences of the Australian landscape to convey her love and passion for the country using the language of the distinctive visual.

Run Lola Run, is a German film about a twenty-something woman (Lola) who has 20 minutes to find $100,000 or her love (Manni) will be killed. The search for the money is played through once with a fatal ending and one would think the movie was over but then it is shown again as if it had happened ten seconds later and changed everything. It is then played out one last time. After the first and second sequence, there is a red hued, narrative bridge. There are several purposes of those bridges that affect the movie as a whole.

Tom Tykwer's Run Lola Run is a change in the structure of narrative as we commonly see it. A standard narrative consists of a beginning-where there is a sense of normality, a disruption of that normality that transitions into the middle, and

The contrast of the large truck with the visually smaller Lola is used to show how close she came to being destroyed by this machine. This works to emphasise how luck gave her another chance to live and it was really because of chance that she is able to continue with her journey. This is similar to many occurrences in life such as death occurrences which people have no explanation for besides luck and chance. Another technique used is a long-distance shot of Lola in front of the big truck with the casino presents her a great opportunity to fulfil her journey to get the money she needs. This is used to show how chance is not always bad but may also lead to opportunities that will be beneficial in the future. Continuing on with the notion of chance and luck, Lola ends up at the casino and is completely oblivious on how to gamble. By chance again, she walks to a roulette table and bets on the number 20. The close-up shot of the roulette table, spinning and coming to a stop shows suspense when Lola was about to win. This works to place importance on the actual object of chance which in the real world is all casino games. The film is showing how just like Lola’s life afterwards depends on the small play of chance, many of our live depend on other games of chance. Life is essentially a ‘game’ of chance which affects an individual’s personal fate through our own actions as well as others.

It gives a clear view of the emotions that are being depicted by both Lola and Mani.
