Jo Roderick Stereotypes

The strongest images that I’ve encountered is in the feature article of Orphans Give Indian Couple Will To Live; 2004 Tsunami Killed Their Son, 2 Daughters when the author of this feature article, Saikh Azizur Rahman, was describing how on the morning of the day after Christmas, Mr. Paramesvaran was taking his 3 children, all whom which were from ages 5-12, and his wife’s relatives to a stroll in the beach. They were tossing a Frisbee on the beach when the sea turned hostile. When I read that paragraph describing how Mr. Paramesvaran and his family are enjoying themselves, it helps me envision a happy family in such a beautiful scene as the beach and still foreshadowing that something horrible was going to happen to the warm-loving family. This image is important because it teaches us all that we should try our best to enjoy the times we spend together with our family, especially a family like the Paramesvaran. That is what made this image so memorable to me.

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but maybe they are worth far more than that. Pictures, although seemingly simple in nature, are extremely complex. Far too often, people overlook what a picture truly is. When a person looks at an image, they most likely see only the image, nothing else. Many people do not look deep enough into an image to fully comprehend the true meaning of it. However, when an individual begins to truly study an image in an attempt to understand the true complexity of it, they will be surprised at what they overlooked before. As stated by French Realist Painter, Gustave Courbet, “Fine art is knowledge made visible.”

In a powerful experiment we were able to see through the eyes of a kindergarten children prejudice dynamics. In a famous experience by Jane Elliot she separated her class between blue-eyed and brown-eyed students. Professor Elliot had separated her students by making one eye group inferior to the other making them have certain benefits and better treatment than the other group of students. Eventually, the students were switched the following day. This experiment have showed this group of kindergarten students how colors and discrimination affected the minority population. After this successful experiment with the kindergarten student’s professor Jane Elliot had done many other experiments using adults using the a similar technique blue-eyed

A sitcom is a situational comedy, which is when the same setting and same characters appear in every episode. In terms of sitcoms much has changed between time and a good example of that is, I Love Lucy and The Simpsons. I Love Lucy first premiered in 1951 and for television viewers of the fifties; Lucy and Ricky could have been well known neighbors from down the street. Many people are able relate to this young couple, the Ricardo’s, who were experiencing the hard times and trails of marriage as typical Americans were. They lived in a brownstone in Manhattan with common struggles such as paying the rent and affording household materials. The humor and jokes came along when ordinary situations were amplified as Lucy managed to get herself into trouble time and time again, and

There is a beam of light coming from the door along the ground and ending at what looks like the beginning of a big red tree. In this picture it looks like the little red leaf that has always symbolised hope has blossomed and the girl is smiling. This shows how through the distinctively visual you can change peoples understanding of events and moods and how over time situations can change and be healed.

Jindabyne reinforces and challenges the relationships between cultures and genders through sound, establishing the reconciliation of characters. The haunting music and cinematography create a sense of timelessness. The opening shot of the ominous ‘landscape’ is highlighted with somber and minimal music, adding to the scene’s tension and hostility. Furthermore, Susan’s light-hearted, energetic singing and non-diegetic soundtrack of grass swaying in the wind is contrastingly cast with the looming image of Gregory’s vehicle and the soundtracks quickening, matching the action on screen. Lawrence uses the change of pace to build tension amongst the audience, evoking feelings of angst. Moreover, the cold and explosive interchange between characters

“There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other.” and “The delicious breath of rain was in the air.” are both lovely images filled with peace.

This picture symbolizes bravery because it was a hard thing to do. My grandfather during WWII found this dog whom he became very attached to and that dog was his pal that protected him. They became very close and unfortunately one day when the enemy was coming closer the dog became vicious and started attacking the people he was trying to protect. My grandfather had to shoot the poor dog (the dog died) to protect the people and make it easier for them to evacuate the town. This represents bravery to me personally because my grandfather put other lives before his own preferences. Basicly did the thing that was so impossible hard for him to do to protect the people of the town. In the book To Kill A Mockingbird, in chapter 10, a character

This Picture is memorable because it show Hollis with Steven teaching her how to drive the old truck even when the Old Man says not to, this action shows her what it is like to have a older brother and live a happy and peaceful life full of mysterious and cool opportunities. She never experienced any of this because she never even met her family. It was the first time in years that she laughed or at least smiled. It also showed how organized and clean she was compared to her foster-brother, who got yelled at by his father a lot. Hollis apparently likes super sour candys too, as she is the only reason that was in the house any more, as no one else could not have their tongue curl. She finally has peace in

I feel that this picture completely describes my religion. My religion, to outsiders, may look like quite a mess of feelings and emotions, but once they look at it with a different point of view, they are able to clearly see the image of God. I also felt that the symbolism portrayed in this image truly inspiring. Like I have stated before, the art appears

Quentin Tarantino’s film Jackie Brown, released in 1997, challenges the pervasive stereotyping of not only blacks but specifically black women. Nowhere is the cinematic devaluation of African Americans more evident than in images of black women which, in the history of cinematography, the white ideal for female beauty has overlooked. The portrayal of black women as the racial Extra has been fabricated through many semblances in the history of American film. Film scholars and feminists alike have long been plagued with lament for the negativity and stereotyping that sticks with black women in American cinema. In this paper, I will argue that Jackie Brown highlights and stresses the racial variance of the female African American protagonist,

Although the use of animation inherently calls for more caricatured characters, Disney’s Aladdin and The Return of Jafar are full of harmful middle-eastern Arab stereotypes. Almost all the characters, save for Aladdin and Jasmine, who are the most “white” out of almost all of the other Arabs (they have middle class American accents, are of a lighter skin tone) are painted as the Violent Arab, for example; the shopkeeper attempts to slice Iago for attempting to steal some grapes. The villains are painted as stereotypically faceless/ uniform Arabs that blunder around stupidly and are ridiculously superstitious (in The Return of Jafar they immediately assume that a box is mystically floating, rather than being lifted from below). On top of all that, there is the obvious stereotyping present in the opening song of Aladdin, “Oh, I come from a land, from a faraway place/ Where the caravan camels roam/ Where it's flat and immense/ And the heat is intense/

The photo I chose was “The Death of Marat.” This picture has significant meaning and a powerful back story. It speaks two different voices for each side of the fence during the France revolution. For some individuals this picture was a symbol of power because Marat was looked up as a rebel and a leader, but to the others this picture represented victory and a new start because Marat had been killed and it saved hundreds of thousands of civilians from being beheaded. As the movie wasteland show cased the image as a rebellion leader who was killed trying to lead his people from unfair treatment.
