Narrative Analysis In Coco

The whole movie deals with emotions and how they grow up in that environment and that reflects in next generation’s life. Their perceptions are a lot different from my culture. One thing that I felt from this movie is whatever you see from parents or elder siblings, most of the time you will follow that way and it’s also happen in my culture also. Twenty years ago at about the same time that "Cisco" and "Stingray" Santiago became leaders of the notorious Assassination gang and Luis also became a gang leader. That movie is also a great example of emotional intelligence. This movie is kind of empathetic.

Although the best reasons for “going to the movies” are to be entertained and eat popcorn, understanding a film is actually quite complex. Movies are not only a reflection of life, they also have the capability of shaping our norms, values, attitudes, and perception of life. Through the media of film, one can find stories of practically anything imaginable and some things unimaginable. Movie-makers use their art to entertain, to promote political agendas, to educate, and to present life as it is, was, or could be. They can present truth, truth as they interpret it, or simply ignore truth altogether. A movie can be a work of fiction, non-fiction, or anything in-between. A film is an artist’s interpretation. What one takes away from a film depends upon how one interprets what has been seen and heard. Understanding film is indeed difficult.

In this rhetorical narrative I explain a time when I successfully communicated, and had a rhetorical success. My story starts off at the beginning with an exciting start to get the reader interested, and then goes into detail about one of the characters after the beginning of the story. Although the story is structured in almost chronological order it goes off on some tangents to explain the background of some characters. The story takes a deeper look into people’s reactions and the consequences associated with those reactions. As the story gets deeper and deeper it starts to get away from the action that takes place in the beginning, and starts to become more about the thoughts of the narrator as he prepares for his consequences. The story

While Perfecto’s car gets stuck in the mud, Estrella notices that he is struggling to move the car, so she says, “Perfecto Flores,” calling him by his full name, “Let me do it” (129). By using his full name, Estrella demonstrates her respect towards Perfecto because she notices his contribution, so she begins to alter her attitude toward him since she is turning into a respectful adult. As Estrella creates a bond with Perfecto, she is willing to help him because he is getting much older and struggling more often that Estrella feels it is her responsibility to help and care for her family. After Estrella violently takes back her family’s money, she does not feel like herself, instead, she feels like “two Estrellas,”(150) separating her childish self from the other version of herself that has grown into a woman. This is a significant time in her life because she begins to emerge from old habits and immature actions and into a new identity with strengths that her old self did not have, such as a new found confidence and leadership skills. In the very end of the novel, Estrella “believed” that she is able to “summon all of those who strayed” calling everyone like “chiming bells of the great cathedrals” (176). Estrella stops acting immature by taking on a huge role as leader to all the migrant farmworkers in her district by calling them into one community and one strong voice like a church bell’s would call others. At that moment she realizes that she understands the world and all the power she possesses within herself to take on a leader’s position by taking more responsibility for others she is showing her growth into adulthood through actions that will benefit her community as a whole. Estrella changes herself into a mature adult who realizes the people around her need help, and as a result, she begins to step forward and take authority for her

Ever since Hunter Jordan died, Ruth and James were heavily affected. In order to combat this, they both use different ways to grieve over his death. To begin, Ruth, James’ mother, rides her bike to grieve for her husbands death. To show proof, James says, “She would ride in slow motion across our street… It was her way of grieving,” (7). As one can see James believes his mother rides her bicycle to grieve for her deceased husband. In addition, James also notes, “it was something [the bike] my stepfather found on the street in Brooklyn and hauled home a few months before he died.” (5). To explain, James says that his stepfather found the bike and brought it to Ruth a few months before he died, so Ruth uses it to remind her of her husband. Furthermore, another way Ruth grieves is in church. James says, “she would occasionally do something in church that I never saw her do at home… she would bow down her head and weep.” (50). As one can see, Ruth cries in church to grieve for her husband because if her kids see her, they would think she is crying because God makes her happy.

Erik Larson uses repetition to tell his readers how much it would take for Olmsted to complete his task on time and how stressful it was. Larson uses the would “if” to communicate to his readers that there is a chance that everything could work out but “if” one of these does not, then they fail. By repeating “if” repeatedly Larson’s readers understand that there are many different things that, in order for the fair to be complete on time, need to go right. So by using this repetition Larson communicates to his readers how stressed they were about the fair. Therefore, this repetition that Erik Larson uses allows his readers to understand how stressed they all were about all the factors that needed to go right in order for the fair to be completed

In the science of studying media and communication, there are many different ways of approaching the subject in which you are going to analyse. That is to analyse advertisements, texts, TV-series, films etc. and other media. My task for this assignment is to give an analysis of a film of my choice. A film is a quite complex medium to analyse; thus it is important to have analysis "tools" or some criteria to follow. In my analysis I am asked to consider the use and resolution of binary opposition and through analysis of narrative structure. In my assignment I am going to consider how the couple is represented, and how the narrative structure and binary oppositions have influence on the plot of the story.

According to film theorist Thomas Schatz, “a genre approach (to film) provides the most effective means for understanding, analyzing, and appreciating the Hollywood cinema (Schatz vii).” His approach to film is strongly supported by theorist Edward Branigan’s and the narrative representation of character interaction (Branigan), and André Bazin’s arguments that the objective reality pressed against audience interpretation.
