Emma Watson-a Study

This trend is Liu’s opportunity to get rid of either sexploitation or a dragon lady. Elementary is for her transformation of media. She chose to play Joan Watson who is more than a sexploitation or action, but a classic adapted character. As Richard Dyer suggests, ‘that stars are representations of persons which reinforce, legitimate or occasionally alter the prevalent conceptions of what it is to be a human being in this society’ (1979b: 31). Thus far I have discussed the role of such personae in films. However, major sites for elaborating star personae exist outside films in studio promotion departments, publicity agencies, newspaper and broadcast journalism, TV chat shows, film criticism, fan magazines and so on. The circulation of subsidiary star texts provides opportunity for gossip and speculation, serving, in John Ellis’ words, as a kind of ‘moral barometer’. Generally, ‘the way you progress in your life is how you progress artistically – especially as an actor, where you bring such complicated and personal experiences into what you do everyday’ (Tseng

Emma Watson used her influence over young girls to show that it’s okay to be smart, and it’s okay to like studying and reading. She showed us that there’s nothing wrong with raising your hand in class, and there’s nothing wrong with knowing the answer. At the age of 24, she has already had multiple major accomplishments. She was nine years old when she first auditioned for her role in Harry Potter. She auditioned eight times until she finally got the part. At age 24, she became the ambassador of the UN Women Goodwill.

Hermione and Harry help each other with their strengths and abilities. Upon arriving at Hogwarts, Hermione always wanted to do everything by the rules. Sometime during the year, she realized that friendship can be more important. Hermione explains, “ ‘Please, Professor McGonagall –they were looking for me. I went looking for the troll because I –I thought I could deal with it on my own…’ ” (120). For the first time ever, Hermione has lied to a teacher. This begins the turning point where Hermione, Harry,

“We could be killed, or worse, expelled” Hermione Granger, student in the Harry Potter series. The character she portrays is a young witch who attends Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hogwarts is a school that accepts only witches and wizards, and teaches them to cast spells. These skills will prepare them for life in the wizarding world. Recently, strange things have been happening at Hogwarts ever since Harry Potter came. So, Harry and his friends take it upon themselves to save Hogwarts. Hermione is one of his friends, and she is a very complex character. She is very brave because she fights for what she believes in.

Jane Austen's novel "Emma" published in 1815 and the film adaptation "Clueless" written and directed by Amy Heckerling in 1995 both share a similar interest in maintaining a high social status. Emma Woodhouse of the novel "Emma" and Cher Horowitz from the film "Clueless" are both spoiled young lady living in a high-class society. Emma Woodhouse is part of the rich, upscale society in a large and populous village in the nineteenth century England, while Cher Horowitz lives in a rich, upscale Beverly Hills, California USA. Both of the main characters, Emma and Cher shows arrogance and lack of acceptance to other social class due to their use of power and wealth, which they are unaware of it themselves. Emma and Cher's immaturity has resulted

Indications: The patient is a 69 year old black female who fell landing on her right hip. She was seen in the Emergency Room where physical exam and x-ray revealed an intertrochanteric right femoral fracture. She was admitted to Dr. Loyd’s service .

Emma Woodhouse, who begins the novel "handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and a happy disposition" (Austen 1), suffers from a dangerous propensity to play matchmaker, diving into other’s lives, for what she believes is their own good. Despite this, she is a sympathetic character. Her matchmaking leads only to near-disasters and her expressions of remorse following these mistakes are sincere and resolute. Jane Austen's Emma concerns the social milieu of a sympathetic, but flawed young woman whose self-delusion regarding her flaws is gradually erased through a series of comic and ironic events.

Many people enjoy films that make a lot of money in the box office because they know that they are well written and well heard of. However, these are not the only type of movies out there. There are some well written movies with big name actors in them, that weren't even in the box office. One of those movies is a movie called Winter's Bone. Winter's Bone is a small film with a cast you probably don't know too much about besides for one person. That one person is Jennifer Lawrence. Many of you might know her as Mystique from the Newer X-men movie or better yet Katniss from the Hunger Game series. However, in the film Winter's Bone she plays a much more vital role as Ree Dolly. A role that I feel not many could

We choose to follow the crowd, rarely does anyone dare to be different. Feminism has been a problem not just within one country but within the whole orbiting globe. Emma Watson believes that the world can change; men and women can become united and treated as equals.

It is unusual for me to watch a biopic movie due to my misconception of its unattractive features such as boring, monotonous, predictable. However, it seems that everything has changed dramatically since I watched "Miss Potter" - a movie based on true story of a well-known English children's book author- Beatrix Potter.

The British actress, 26, revealed that she made her latest character Belle, from the new live-action film of Beauty and the Beast, into an independent woman, insisting she has a job after wondering, “What is she doing with her time?”

"It's elementary, my dear Watson," says Sherlock Holmes-an oft-repeated adage by many an aspiring sleuth, detective or private investigator, both real and imagined. So, it seems fitting that the new Sherlock Holmes series should be named that-“Elementary”. Just like the detective written in the book, the character portrayed on the television series, Sherlock Holmes, by Jonny Lee Miller does not disappoint. The twist in this series was that Watson, played by Lucy Liu, was a woman and now called Joan Watson. Many thought that it would be bad for the series to have the character of Holmes sidekick played by a woman but, it has not deterred fans of this series from

Emma Watson is not only a famous actress from Harry Potter or other movies, she changing the lives of many women across the world. Her influences in International

Her modesty is such that she tends to self-denigrates herself, despite the fact that she contributed to a large extent to the the success of Harry. Because of this episode, among others, these scholars that think that the Harry Potter series presents a stereotypical gendered vision therefore argues that Hermione is only an enabler of Harry and Ron's adventures, that she is kind of passive. However, during this episode, Ron can also appear as an enabler, as he sacrifices himself on the chessboard so to allow Hermione and Harry to go on. Then, Hermione makes her own sacrifice as well, like Ron did. But as argues Klingbiel, “like a good fairy tale hero or new female superhero, Hermione is flawed; her over-reliance on books, annoying people to prove she is smart, shows her uncertainty and fear. The adventure she embarks on and the experience she gains teaches her a lesson.” (174-175). She also states that, “in the world of wizards and witches, magic is strength” and “in order to gain magic, along with certain innate ability, one must also study for it. In Rowling's world, knowledge is power.” (172). In this world then, Hermione should be one of the most powerful character, as she is “the cleverest witch of [her] age” (Rowling, 1999, PoA, p. 372), according to

Emma Watson, best known as a leading actress in the Harry Potter series, gave a speech titled “Gender equality is your issue too” during a HeForShe campaign at the United Nations headquarters in New York City during on September 20, 2014, in attempt to raise awareness about gender inequality. Throughout the speech, Watson attempted to persuade the audience in joining the HeForShe campaign by providing examples of those who have been subject to the burdens of gender inequality – however, this speech could be considered problematic due to Watson’s lack of credibility and failure to include all types of people in our society.
