Kony2012 Textual Analysis

Richard Van Camp's, The Lesser Blessed, contains elements that classify the novel with both Indigenous and Modern genres. Featuring both genres in a text can lead to contradicting themes that form a binary. This binary has the potential to limit the extent readers can connect to the story, suggesting the presence of a barrier. Barriers hinder the readers' lack of understanding or relatability to either Indigenous or Modern works of literature. This paper will serve to analyze how Richard Van Camp deconstructs the binary by having the sides work together rather than against one another. Furthermore, this paper will discuss how by breaking down the binary, Richard Van Camp is allowing his novel to be accessible to all readers.

The one technique I am not understanding is the using simple coloring to help solve sudoku puzzles. From my understanding, one does not even use colors; rather, the colors are inferred. I somewhat understand the use of pluses and minuses because they creates “chain.” For example, there’s one plus that’s in the same row as a minus, and then that minus is in the same column as a plus and so on, except I’m not understanding where the plus in square f1 (in figure 12) came from, except that it might have something to do with the minus that is in the same grid (def123) as it. I’m not understanding why all the pluses and minuses in the figure are reliant on whether or not there is a one in f1. Then the author asked us to change all the pluses and minuses into black and white square, and I’m not sure that makes any difference or makes solving the puzzle any easier. Now the author is asking us to suppose the solution of a candidate in a square, and then it states that this candidate can occur outside the chain, and now I’m not understanding why we were creating the chain if it didn’t help us determine definite candidates.

Three of the things that will apply to make mealtime more comfortable and pleasant for children will be: First I will start by having them to serve their own food. This will give them an opportunity to choose what they will be eating and put it on their plate. Another thing will be to participate on making fun food activities, like creating a rainbow with their vegetables and fruits. Or making our own pizza. I will make conversation to each them while they eat so they can share feels or questions they might have.

Also, in an interview conducted by Journeyman Pictures, the leader of the LRA, Joseph Kony lied about abducting villages. He was trying to cover up for the atrocities that he and his troops had caused. In the video, Kony addresses, “The LRA has never been involved in any abductions, rapes or mutilations. That's just Museveni’s propaganda.” He was blaming others for his wrongdoings. Throughout the interview, Kony blamed it on “Museveni's propaganda” four

When I first signed up for University 101 back over the summer I thought that this class was a waste of time, and was just an easy credit. But I was wrong. University 101 ended up being my most demanding class and I was upset because I felt like none of the journals, activities, and discussions were useful or even worth my time. But I was wrong again. My UNV 101 class was different from the rest, it was different because I was a part of Opportunity Network. Opportunity Network has three instructors and I was very grateful to have Ms. Ebony to be my UNV 101 professor. Ms. Ebony and I became extremely close during this semester. Ms. Ebony encourage me to do nursing again ,even when I wanted to give up and start all over because I wasn’t doing

I felt the same way after reading the article. I'm also unsure as to how similarities would play a part in swaying another person’s point of view. However, when discussing the example you provided, similarities seem rather imperative to the quality and overall relatability of the conversation. If a man tried to act like he could relate to me from a female perspective, I’m sure I would laugh initially out of sheer disbelief, if I ever come across a man that has the audacity to speak on a subject in which they’ve had absolutely no firsthand experience, I would undoubtedly discontinue the conversation because at that point nothing good could come of it.

This warlord of Uganda is just another Hitler of our world. Kony is a man with a mission to stay in power. He will do all he can to maintain a superior status.Kony has not committed these crimes himself, but has become the rising leader for Lord's Resistance Army

Kony 2012 is a short documentary produced by Invisible Children, released on March 5, 2012. The film demonstrates the Invisible Children’s plan to capture Joseph Kony. It describes the actions he and his army have done, including forced recruitment of child soldiers, and the attacks on the innocent villages and people. After eight years of demanding justice for the LRA affected villages, the campaign Kony 2012 was created.The purpose of the film was to help bring awareness to the cause, and make fugitive Joseph Kony globally known. It was really just an experiment, they did not know if an online video could actually raise awareness and help bring the world together to stop Joseph Kony. After about six days the video had over 100 million views.

In fact Kony 2012 targets a very specific group of people that group is the youth and I would have to say Western youth. Many critics denounced Kony 2012 because it’s recurrence of familiar narrative, that of middle class and predominately white, young American “saving Africans” from their own self-imposed miseries (Fisher, 202). Kony 2012 set out to empower young people to do more than just watch, it empowered them to take action. You can see this in the video as they interview young adults they make them relatable. Although supporters where from all ages and walks of life, surveys showed that over eighty-eight percent of supports were under the age of twenty-six (Karlin & Matthew, 2012).

The attack of Kenya was just as bad as the one of Paris, but unfortunately, as the writer of an article published by “Washington Post” addressed, not everyone will express their feelings as others would do simply because they haven’t had any experiences, or any kind of connection with the place, and it’s completely

It showed just how much of an impact that social media had on society’s current discourse. Although it is often only brought up in situations where it is mocked, Kony 2012 taught a generation that their collective actions actually could make a difference if they were to apply them to a movement that was not deeply flawed, and full of misinformation. It proved that one’s online presence has an impact on the world, and in some cases one’s online presence may be more powerful than their real life. The goal of Kony 2012 was always to simply raise awareness, which is what the general population should have paid attention to in the beginning, as in the end Kony 2012 left more of an impact on its western audience than it did on the people it was supposed to

018 Catcher in the Rye Textual Analysis J.D. Salinger, author of Catcher in the Rye, uses not only main character Holden Caulfield, but many different symbols throughout the book in order to develop a larger theme in the text. While you could argue that there are many different significant themes being displayed within the book, Salinger has emphasized change as being a big part of the work and the story itself. The author uses symbols such as the catcher in the rye, the carousel, and the museum in order to create to express the idea that if you are not willing to accept changes throughout your life, you will never grow as a person. The first important symbol that was used within the text was once the author described Holden’s big dream

Texts 3 and 4 have different purposes. In text 3, the author is informing people outside of the US about a viral YouTube video, Kony 2012. The author explains who made the video and why. An organization called Invisible Children created Kony 2012 in order to raise awareness on the despicable actions of a Ugandan warlord, Joseph Kony. Additionally, the author describes what made the video popular. According to the author, the video

Psychological warfare is as real and as powerful as hand-to-hand combat, and it is one of Joseph Kony’s main strategies for maintaining his power. O.B. received therapeutic treatment for trauma-related mental health when he was an 18-year-old (May 2006). He had served for nearly 5 years after being abducted by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in Northern Uganda at age 14: In order to prevent his captors from fleeing the LRA, Kony, and his commanders spread a double-edged sword of fear: that fighters will be beaten and killed by Kony’s army if they attempt to escape, and if they happen to successfully escape then they will be killed by the communities that they escape too. While the LRA commanders are true to their threats of violence, what is not true is their widespread claim that escaped LRA soldiers will be killed by the UPDF (Uganda People’s Defense Force) or other local militaries that are on the hunt for Kony. Moreover, abductees are fallaciously led to believe that, if for some reason they were not immediately killed upon returning, their families and communities would still reject them because the crimes they have committed make them permanently unwanted in society. Kony and his commanders want to cultivate a specific LRA identity so that fighters will feel a personal loyalty to the LRA. In order to strip new abductees of their sense of home, the

Contemporary social movements such as Arab Spring and Kony 2012 use the Internet and social media as potential tools towards change. But why are some more successful than others. This paper argues that when news outlets see the potential for change, they “premediate” (Richard Grusin) its possibilities, and make that change ever more possible in their coverage. On the other hand, extant stories that are more reactionary do not get the same amount of new exposure, and remain static. In other words, our media - not just social media, but news organizations - play a great role in shaping current events. I will compare and contrast the unfolding of the Arab Spring story, and how little changed regarding Kony 2012, as cases in point.
