District 9 Summary

Once discovering this article one morning, it was apparent that 6/10 people who have crushes on a person, often lie to that person in order to ensure their portrait of utmost lovability. Being the majority, perhaps it is not too far from reality that this one boy would lie to his crush in order to gain her affection. One can believe that in this heartwarming story; “7th Grade”, the author, Gary Soto leaves the protagonist to believe that “if a person truly loved someone they would take risks for them and sometimes lying is a risk people can take in order to love them.” Here, we start the detailed breakdown of this wonderful story.

Also, tests, allies and enemies as well as the ordeal are expressed brilliantly. Jake finds friendship in one of the Na'vi People, Neytiri. She helps Jake along his way and even supports him in front of her own people. After Neytiri's parents decide that Jake should be allowed to be a part of The People, Jake is tested to learn their ways. Jake is shown how he needs to bond with a Mountain Banshee, known to the Na'vi People as Ikran. Jake and the Ikran must choose each other in order for him to belong to Jake. After this, Neytiri tries to teach Jake the language which he struggles with. Slowly building music shows the stress that Jake was under and full shots show Jake struggling with the tests he was facing. Cameron’s choice of colour scheme on the Ikran and all of the animals in this film is breathtaking. The Ordeal comes as a shock to the Na'vi People as the humans begin to cut down all the trees and demolish all the land. The Na'vi People blame Jake and Grace for the humans’ acts of malice. All the humans blame Jake and insist on obliterating HomeTree. Furthermore, fast paced music and long shots capture the Na'vi People's everything being taken and

The climax of Jake’s capabilities is illustrated in an early scene in the film where he engages in a fight while in bar by imposing greater damage on a well-built thug who appeared to have defeated every person in his sight until he met Jake. This is a significant scene since it shows what Jake is capable of doing. As one

Jake is a [seemingly] mentally unstable drifter who wanders into town with muddled and fanatical plans for a socialist uprising. He seems to be bipolar and his tone is ever changing; from knowledgeable rationality to angrily aggressive in a split second. Jake’s first few weeks in town were spent at Biff Brannon's New York Café. After finally meeting someone that he could relate to, Singer, he decided to stay in town and takes a job as a carnival worker. He is obsessive in his aspiration to see the labor force rebel. Jake is the only one, out of all the main characters, who does not have one confidant other than Singer. Jake spent a substantial amount of time sharing his hopes and dreams with Singer. When Singer dies Jake has a very difficult

This isn’t something that he would have been able to access before. It is not inherent. However, Jake’s immediate fascination and revelatory state mimics the simultaneous inaccessibility and gradual self-enlightenment that comes with diasporic peoples aiming to learn more about their

Lastly, he could have changed by his language because he never cares about other people but himself. I think that he was very selfish about caring for himself and not other. In the beginning of this book he usually never watches his language he always swears like “FUCK OFF”, and “SCREW U ALL BITCHES”. He never had any manners to anyone including his own friends sometimes to Jink and Bigger. I believe that this is all Reefs fault because when he was young he should have taken care of his grandparents so they could have taught him some manner but he never cared about

When he was converted to a human, something /changed/ in him, and, This is a frequent thing with my characters, they seem to have minds of their own, and I can't always choose what I want them to become, but once their personality is developed, its consistent and it stays that way, so its not like they're flippy, they just don't always turn out as what I expected. o_o

How has the character changed over the course of the book and what role has external influences played in these changes? How has this character maintained their sense of self while these changes are occurring?

The last one are the District 9. The movie District 9 is considered of an example of the noble savage because the alien is peaceful and undisturbed before the human enter the ship. Before the human enter the ship the pawns is nearly dying because their ship is out of power, but they live in harmony not violent. After the human enter the ship and take all the prawns all out the ship they became more violent and aggressive. They start the riot across the country and the citizen want the prawns to leave their country and never return.

Through the events of his daydream, one could say he’s a dynamic character. But did he really develop? What were the changes to him? How did they come about?

He demonstrates his propensity for extreme cruelty. Although he is a part of the generation, ironically he is different from the rest of them. He realizes the uselessness of the Lost Generation's way of life. He tells his friend Robert Cohn, "You can't get away from yourself my moving from one place to another." (19) Jake doesn't think highly of Cohn, but he puts up with him anyway. Interestingly, Cohn is also attracted to Brett and this fuels Jake's already heightened feelings of inadequacy; thus Jake takes a condescending attitude toward Cohn. Jake describes Cohn as weak and inexperienced, timid and easily intimidated by a strong woman (Frances). This condescending attitude toward Cohn is nothing but the reflection of Hake's very own insecurities about his manhood.

This point of Jake’s life is centered on readjusting himself to normal life after World War I. Jake is lost

District 9 (Peter Jackson, 2009), a science fiction film produced by Peter Jackson, is a rare gem unlike the many sci-fi movies which have been released in our time. The story is established via a mix of standard third person camera and documentary footage and takes place in the present - a twist from your regular science fiction film which normally takes place in the future. The film, about a colony of alien refugees forced by humans to live in a South African slum, is an example of social satire by presenting a critique of the injustice with which we treat those who are different from us. The metaphors of science fiction are being used to portray the nature of racism; with the way that racist ideology and discourse deals with those different

Another “white fantasy” observation Newitz makes in her essay is that the white protagonist always becomes the savior. This is hardly the truth in the Avatar’s case. Throughout the film, Jake is rescued by Neytiri and the Na’vi numerous times. Even after the final battle is over, it is Neytiri who saves his life when he begins to suffocate in his human form. Also, rather than Jake “saving the day” during the final battle, the film focuses on the fact that Jake is unable to combat the opposing side single-handedly, and can only succeed with the aid of his Na’vi brethren. In other words, rather than the white man saving the day, it was the teamwork of his native friends that made the win possible.

Later in the movie, once Jake had figured out that the avatars are nice and that the army shouldn’t (avoid contraction - should not) be destroying their land, he starts to refuse orders from Kernell (the army leader). Kernell was demanding that he told him important things (be precise - what are these important thing exactly?) about the avatars so it would be easier to destroy them, but jake could keep changing from an avatar to a human, so when he came back to the human life he would usually start to fill Kernell in on what happened but near the end he stopped telling him so he could save the avatars. He realised that the avatars were actually really nice and approving of him after a while.
