Analysis of Transcript - Young Ones Essay

In the past two months i fell like i have accomplished a great deal. As i focus on it more i realize i have become a better reader. I did this by concentrating on my readings and take my time to read them. With the help of my professor and classmates i began to analyze what i read.

For example, in the story Rick says,“You b*tch!” Rick yells at the door as I help Melissa into her coat. “You b*tch! You practiced with this tub of lard! You guys been getting together dancing. You b*tch. You set me up.” (2). According to this quote you can tell right away that Rick is a jerk and very disrespectful towards Melissa. You can also tell that Rick doesn't really care about her either, since he is disrespecting her by calling her rude names. Rick is also calling her out in front of everyone at the dance. Now let's move on to Angus to see how he is a much better person to Melissa compared to Rick. In the story Angus says, “I’ve been planning for Melissa Lefevre for a long time. I fell in love with her in kindergarten when she dared…” (2). As you can see Angus is such a nice and caring person towards Melissa since he is talking about her in a adorable way. You can also tell that Angus has had Melissa on his mind for a long time now. Another example of this is, is Melissa and Angus. In the story you can tell that Melissa is more likely to stand up for herself/another person while Angus would just stay quiet. For example, in the story Rick says, “Why don't you go on up. You go right on up behind that curtain with my girl, Snowball King.” (2). Melissa responds to him by saying, “I’m warning you, Rick. Shut up” (2). As stated in the quote you can tell that Melissa is not afraid to stand up to Rick for Angus.

I’m am going to analyze episode 7 season 3 of rick and Morty, in this episode the writers take you the citadel of Ricks where there are multiple versions of rick and Morty from other realities. In this society the Morty’s are the under classed and the ricks have all the power but there is an election and for the first time a Morty candidate. In this episode they use rhetoric by the under-classed Morty’s as gang members and hooligans because they cant grow in the society. One rhetorical failure I saw was while they are telling the story there are a lot of unneeded parodies. In this episode they use rhetoric by the under-classed Morty’s as gang members and hooligans because they cant grow in the society. One rhetorical failure I saw was while they are telling the story there are a lot of unneeded parodies. And this impacts the story because it makes it feel more real but then they added too many parodies that they could have left out. This episode had so much detail and a great story line making it my favorite episode.

I. Purpose for this investigation is to pin-point problems within the Roanoke branch of Phoenix Advertising which have led to the recent resignations of an art director and an account executive, increasing client complaints about quality of work, productivity and demoralization of employees within that branch.

Since most of the action and big talking points happened off stage or prior to the opening of the show, diction needed to convey all that had happened. I think they did a good job with their use of diction. In the beginning they give us what we need to know about the murder and towards the end when everything becomes more serious we get more of the details. It was set up in a good way in which something would happen and a character would come in and convey the information to Jeff, who had some clever retort for whatever he was being told. Diction also helped characterize Jeff as a slacker and comical. Jeff often has a quick retort or joke to whatever news another character is telling him. Jeff also describes how he slacks off at work and gets away with it. Diction is used to direct attention in this show, especially because there isn’t too much action on the stage. They talk about different sides of an issue to show that not everything is black and white. What they say is what the audience needs to focus on. Like when William discusses how his family calls to talk about his brother’s case, he is showing that he is being pressured to take his brother’s side. And when he talks about the crappy public defender his brother would receive, he is pointing out issues in the justice system that could do harm to his brother. Diction is also used to reveal the themes and ideas of a play. This play shows that no issue is straightforward and black and white. There are many different angles and consequences of most situations. This is seen in the discussions between the characters on stage. When Jeff debates telling Dawn what he knows about William’s brother’s case, he lays it out in a hypothetical situation and discusses the issues he sees with both sides. Dawn tries to convince him that he should come forward and make a statement so he can testify because she sees that justice would only be served if he did so. While William

For Major Paper 1.0, I am describing the use of language in the American sitcom The Goldbergs. The Goldbergs is a television show on the network ABC. It is about a family living in the 1980s. Each episode is narrated by the main character Adam. Adam and his family are based on the producer’s crazy family. The show is the producer, Adam Goldberg reliving his childhood during the 1980s. As a child, Adam had a VHS camcorder that he used to record several points in his life. Adam lives with his mother Beverly, his dad Murray, his brother Barry, his oldest sister Erica, and his grandfather Pop. By the first episode of the first season you notice that Adam’s family is pretty unique for a television family.

Every television show falls into one genre or another. Whether its an Action, Comedy, Drama, Adventure show, they all fall into the category of different types of television genres. The concept of a genre can be used in “rhetoric, literary theory, media theory and more recently linguistics, to refer to a distinctive type of ‘text’” (Chandler, 1). Thus, every aspect of television exhibits a reliance on genre in which becomes a principal factor of framing texts which support comprehension. Throughout this essay, I will focus specifically on the genre of Teen TV Drama using the television show Degrassi: The Next Generation, and comparing it to two other programs such as Saved by the Bell and Beverly Hills of 90210. Through this notion, we

For part 1: Language in Cultural Context, my class studied how the digital age has affected the English language. We looked at the development of new words due to text messages, social media, and teen slang as well as the usage change of some words. I was interested in the effect on society the idiomatic ways of english might have therefore I decided to write my written task in transcript form based on a segment called Celebrity Reads Mean Tweets in a modern television show called Jimmy Kimmel Live. This will simulate a situation where an issue might occur due to the evolution in English. On this show famous people take the time to read mean posts that are on social media, about themselves. The guest I have appointed to read mean posts is

The intention is to analyse episodes of South Park throughout various stages of its 20 year run, comparing this data to episodes from South Park’s 19th season. A combination of content analysis, discourse analysis and close readings will allow us to analyse these episodes. This will be done in order to find meta-commentaries with each episode. Gibbs (2012) theory of thematic categorizing & analysis of Narrative will be used to analyse South Park. In particular Gibbs theory on metaphors (Gibbs, p.4, 2012). The idea is to analyse the patterns of presentation, themes and overall atheistic, comparing the early works of South Park to its 19th season. Semiotics will be closely analysed as here lies the key to the analysis. The symbolic signs will be annotated as this is the crux of the data. Chandler’s (2017) guide to semiotic analysed will be implemented throughout the

Analysis of South Parks 19th season will be conducted to see how the show adapted to political correctness. This is done by using a combination of content analysis, discourse analysis and close readings. Gibbs (2012) theory of thematic categorizing & analysis of narrative is used to analyse the episodes of South Park. Gibbs theory on metaphors in particular will be used (Gibbs, p.4, 2012). Semiotics are closely analysed, as the symbolic signs are the crux of the data. Chandler’s (2017) guide to semiotic analyse is implemented throughout the analysis.

The function of language that was introduced by Roman Jakobson (Hébert, 2011) has existed to assist us in the process of communication. Thus, I will analyse a scene in a drama that I watched on the television, by using the Jakobson’s Six Language Functions and how it overlaps with the classical theories. The scene that I will analyse is an episode of Game of Thrones entitled; and Now His Watch Is Ended.

The distinction in Charlie’s lexical field provides the reader the ability to navigate Charlie’s progress in intelligence. Charlie is depicted as ‘illiterate’ early in the play. Burt invites Charlie to undertake the ‘Rorschach test’, where he confesses he ‘faled’ to interpret the ‘picturs’, as he sees ‘nuthing’, reflecting Charlie’s inability to think in abstract concepts. The author aims to demonstrate real-world challenges of being mentally challenged through Charlie’s intelligence, achieved by positioning the audience to recognize Charlie’s observable dialogue where pieces of his speech, must place together, giving the audience the ability to understand how Charlies lexical field affects his everyday life. The short story is superior to the play in projecting a deeper, personal insight of Charlie’s plateaued lexical field of elementary level, his basic vocabulary, lack of ability to spell basic words and omission of punctuation. The long univocal dialogue allows the reader to map Charlie’s developments and notify his developing intelligence, such as his emerging use of commas and apostrophes, in addition to his gradual improving vocabulary such replacing his use of ‘fixed’ to

The purpose of our project is to find and analyze conversational features and discover if there are any differences between American and British English. In order to achieve our aim, we have selected as a corpus two chapters of distinct TV series: The first one from the American series ‒Six Feet Under‒ and the other one from the British series – Teachers. Our corpus contains approximately 12000 words, each script having around 6000 words. Both series belong to comedy genre, with adult characters of similar age and social status. Both series reflect the real use of language in their respective societies. They were released in similar dates, between 2001 and 2002. Six Feet Under is a black comedy-drama of a group of people, who
