I feel that the photo of the city in Great Britain shows massive devastation and destruction. The children look sad, upset, and depressed.

Texts are cultural artifacts that reflect the thoughts and values of the composer’s context; they serve as a social barometer through which an individual can examine society’s changing ideals. This is evident in a comparative study of the novella Maestro by Peter Goldsworthy, and the film Pay It Forward, directed by Mimi Leder, By exploring the ways in which textual form reflects the context of these texts, audience members are able to draw distinct connections between the concerns expressed and the values of the time. The meaning of these texts can be shaped and reshaped by considering the nature of the connections between them — they both explore the multifaceted nature of transformations in character by contrasting the disparities and commonalities

Vasco Pratolini was born on Via de’ Magazzini in Florence, Italy in 1913. Growing up poor between the two world wars, he grew to understand Florence and its inhabitants in a way that would later shine in nearly all of his novels and stories. Pratolini relies on making himself seen through his stories as well. A self taught writer, Pratolini grew up in a poor family. In his short story “The Removal”, Vasco describes the plight of he and his grandmother as they are forced out of their apartment when a wealthier couple decides to move in. This is just one example of how Pratolini’s stories sway towards the autobiographical. Two of Pratolini’s most famous works, Metello and Family Chronicle are representations of Pratolini’s morals and personal beliefs in Matello, and life experiences in Family Chronicle.

In addition, the audience was also introduced to settings that avoided the usual associations of Rome to truly immerse the audience to the real life Italian culture. Especially in the last sequence of the film, everything seems to be continuously raw from the setting to the main actors and to the supporting actors in connection from the beginning of the film. In the last remaining shots, as the camera was following the two main characters, Antonio and Bruno, it was as if the they were the only ones that mattered; no more thoughts of the bike but just both of them as two human beings. Until, they blended with the other people, making them part of the reality

As you pass through the towns and hotels it is really detailed orientated. You can see the nature reclaiming this land that cities were once built on. Wildlife running free and plant life growing wild. You see giraffes, elk, rabbits and other wildlife. The scenery is truly beautiful, it is mind-blowing. You can see the birds flying and chirping, this scenery shows hope and faith for the future. It shows the ability for regrowth, renewal and a brighter future. It foreshadows the rebirth of mankind and the restoration of civilization. You truly have to stop and admire the scenery, also Ellie (the little girl) makes you stop and pet animals as she asks you questions about them. These destroyed cities show you how anything can be saved and restored. It symbolizes a brighter future, and hope for further generations. Although the beauty of the scenery is eye-catching, people would account this is a weakness if brutality is your sole purpose than you may find this feature over the top and maybe a bit

Within a situation based around a real landscape there may be many conflicting opinions perspectives, which can be emphasized further by the specific media of production used. An example of this in filmic media is how Giosue and, to and extent, the audience views the concentration camp in Life is Beautiful. The happy atmosphere Guido creates in juxtaposition to the place around him is captured through film and creates the two significantly different views of the camp. The journey to the Interior uses textual media and describes in detail a hill landscape, which Atwood links back to her subconscious. ‘The hills which the eyes make flat as walls’. The description of the real hills as a landscape creates the two different perceptions of the story, one as a visual representation that the reader can picture, and the other as a metaphor for Atwood’s mind, which connect the readers with her on a profound level. The media of production helps to portray certain attitudes towards landscapes, connecting the audience emotionally with the story and

‘V for Vendetta’ is a thrilling action about a tactical ‘villain’ and his master plan to overthrow the fascist government that is ruling over his country. The director of the film, James McTeique, uses many film techniques that help shape the narrative and ideas in the movie. One scene which showcases James McTeique’s skill with specific film techniques is the exposition and mirror scene [0.00-4.14]. McTeique effectively uses context, dialogue, symbolism, mise-en-scene and cinematography to develop the audience's understanding of the ‘power of an idea’.

It is rare that a film comes out of nowhere and shocks audiences, especially with the film industry 's emphasis on advertisements. However, Paranormal Activity did just that. Oren Peli, along with Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat, started a franchise out of a week long project with no script. By capitalizing on realism to provoke fear within viewers, Paranormal Activity grossed over 10,000 times its budget, in part by utilizing fans to promote the film.

When initially approaching the brief for this project I wanted to focus on a more immediate relationship with context of place thinking about my body and the connection between our physicality and the earth. However when unpacking what my sense of place and belonging to this country and this land is I could not escape the notion of ruin. This theme of ruin and ruination started to come through in my work last year. I am from Christchurch and experienced the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. Since moving to Auckland the experience of this has slowly come to the surface. I am able to understand my relationship with my old home through finding a new home. Stepping away from the place of trauma has allowed me to process and digest the events that occurred in Christchurch in a way that I would not have been able to do in the city itself. This has manifested in my art, creating abstract prints that help me to express the idea of ruin, trauma and event. I have chosen to present my research as this piece of writing because I personally am able to explore these ideas and express them with more freedom in this format, I found myself struggling to address this in the more standard work booking manner that Elam often subscribes to.

BEEEEEEP!!!!!! SCREECH! HONK! These common sounds were heard throughout the bustling metropolis of Dhaka, Bangladesh, home to Shaan Rahman, a young and honest man. He was on his way back home after a long day at Dhaka University where he studies. “Aree bhai!” exclaimed Shaan to his driver. “Couldn’t you have taken a less crowded road?” Shaan became restless as the traffic kept building. The cars moved like a sloth moving across the forest floor. Many hours passed as Shaan and his driver trudged through the very populous city. Finally, Shaan reached home. Shaan’s jaw dropped when he saw what was covering his house as he got out of the vehicle. Strings of glistening and flickering lights created a jungle of vines crawling up the
