Hinton, wrote a great novel that describes the relationship between the different gangs, and the relationship within the members of the gang. S.E. Hinton gives her readers many hints about how she portrays the 60’s in “The Outsiders”. Hinton, as mentioned, uses slang throughout the chapters such as “fuzz” which was referred to cops, in the 1960’s.

I could not help but be surprised of what they talked about because I never actually expected their conversations to ever lead that way. One of the ones that is twelve started to say that when she was still in elementary school, she would end up going to the fifth floor bathroom with one of the boys and they would sit on the sink and then she would kiss them. The other little girls started to laugh and one of them said, “Ew you are so nasty. Why would you do that? I’m going to tell mami and papi.” She acted like she did not care and then continued to say that she went on to touch the little boy “down there” and that the little boy just started to laugh. She just said that she just wanted to try what her parents and everyone in school was always talking about. She said she wanted to feel happy and feel the same way that everyone kept on expressing that they

He went out and after hard work he finally found the hatchet. Another way that shows his persistence was when he was thinking about his teacher. Mr. Perpich changed his attitude by challenging the way he thinks. Brian believed that Mr. Perpich would tell him not give up. Also Brian didn't give up by finding food.

Brian landed in the Canadian wilderness with no food. “I’m hungry and i'd trade everything I have for a hamburger.”(47) The book talks about him finally getting cherries by following birds. Later he decides to hunt for more wholesome food. He found a bird that was easy to hunt because of it's stupidity. he also fished with tools he crafted. He could have stopped at the berries but he went the extra mile to hunt for birds & fish.

In most period shows, slang is a way to connect it to the time period and show how people talked then. “The script is relatively devoid of period slang, and it lacks any references to pop culture, political figures, or ‘current events’ that might set the action around 1970”(57) Shows like Rent and Hairspray that use period slang or can be set around a certain time because of it. Company does its best to not put any slang into the show so that it can always be considered in the present like the time and place say in the script. The closest thing to slang that is in the show is when, “Harry offers Robert a Bourbon. Given the decline of ‘brown’ liquors since 1970, it’s more likely that today he’d be offered a beer or wine”(57) However, brown liquors are still around and still widely

The cinematic language that we know of today would not be as it is today if we had synchronous sound recording from the beginning of film. Cinematic Language is the systems, methods or conventions by which movies communicate with the viewer. A few examples of cinematic language are; montage; mise en scene, the use of long takes, depth of field shooting in order associate people or objects; Expressionism, the use of lighting techniques, severe camera angles, and elaborate props, to name a few aspects; and realism, a technique to make the action seem as true to life as possible. The list of techniques and styles of cinematic language go on, and can only be limited by the imagination. Early films, and early sound films both had something in common; they lacked many elements of the cinematic language. The reason sound films reverted back to the same pre-cinematic style of early films, was due to the fact that they had technical difficulties, that required them to fall into the style of the old ways. I do believe that if filmmakers would have had sound from the beginning, with the same sense of movie direction they worked with, they would have used sound as a crutch rather than an enhancing element.

In this novel Brian gets better at rationing his food. Throughout the novel Brian experiences difficulty when rationing his food but later on in the novel he gets better at it. This is shown throughout the book like this quote, “he could not stop and kept striping branches and eating berries by the handful”. This quote shows that at the start of the novel Brian

In the book, Hatchet, Brian had to adapt to the wilderness around him. Through this process he changed because he was more aware of how nature was working, how he learned how to hunt through this process, and how he became thinner because his food source was not as abundant. When he was living in the Canadian wilderness, Brian noticed how the fish moved and what shape the foolbirds were. In this way, he was more aware of his surroundings. Brian had to find a way to get food and hunt with the right tools. When he noticed what shape the foolbirds were, he used that to get them for food. He did not get as much food as he did when he was living in civilization. Therefore, his lack in food meant he got thinner and lost 17% of his body weight. Brian

The movie The Breakfast Club teems with vernacular that adds value its descriptive language. Much of the vernacular, like The Catcher in the Rye, is used according to the time period the pieces were released. A prime example of vernacular is when Bender imitated his father saying, “Stupid, worthless, no good, goddamn, freeloading son of a bitch. Retarded, big mouth, know-it-all, asshole, jerk” (Hughes, 1985). Other pieces of vernacular include babbling, hot beef injection, totaled, nads,

People today struggle with the social pressure among their peers to be a specific way, and “Breakfast Club” depicts this point. In the movie, five kids of different high school stereotypes meet in Saturday School. Throughout the day the adolescents begin informing each other about their lives, talents, secrets, etc. By the end of their eight hours of detention, they realize they have much more in common and they actually become friends, or intimate partners (Hughes, 1986).

Slurs are yelled out like “Fat ass boy” “Kickin that blue gums ass”, “Boy”, “Big black bear” and

Now Johnson isn’t saying that it is rude, but to most other people that can be insulting. If you don’t really know what slang means and you hear someone say something about you, you could take that the wrong way. When communicating, the effectiveness of using nonstandard language or slang can differ depending on who you talk to. If you are speaking to a friend, then it is fine if you use shortcuts and slang. But if you are speaking to someone who’s older than you, like a parent, then it would be better off that you talk to them with standard language.

That’s who Brian really is. He isn’t a nerd like the other kids think he is. Through most of the story Brian wouldn't accept who he was. For example, he kept on turning into things just to be noticed. But whenever he did, bad things happened; When he turned into the frisbee he became dizzy because
