Non-Linear Narrative Structures Have Deeply Influenced How Subjects Are Presented in Visual Culture.

The structure of this film is conventional because the story is told in a chronological order, which makes the film realistic. A series of incidents that happen during their river crossings show Ray and Lila’s terrors and desires, and the more they notice these emotions, the more they gain self-revelation through the jobs.

After WW1 the Great Depression had a very late impact on the major film companies in France, when it did, it unfortunately caused several film studios to go bankrupt, then in the late 1920’s to 1930’s many small film companies and groups emerged giving birth to the tendency called poetic realism. Because the large companies who made films with a focus on making money were gone the filmmakers and artists were able to concern themselves with the art of film, they often took poetic innovations that we can associate with impressionism or surrealism and combined them to create a more realistic style of narrative filmmaking. Therefore these films stylistic techniques have been influenced by the political and economical historical contexts that took place in France that has enhanced these films aesthetic. The growth of political awareness had then reflected in the films of this time, thus the enormous historical impact that effected France’s films and industry. The question can be asked, how did these social, political and economic issues of France at the time come thought the arts and cinema and start a very impactful thread of films.

In Narrative 3, the author is addressing to us that cultural literacy can bind two opposing cultural and allow them to exchange cultural ideas that benefits both groups to a mutual understanding of both cultures. The Narrative supports the lesson at the beoingining starts with aa first year teacher that teaches at English as Second Language Central. In her class, she disturbed when she heard a student said she is from Iraq because the teacher has some prejudges to the Middle East. Then the teacher had the class make one of their native food to bring to the class. The Iraqian bought Chicken Salad, the recipe from both the teacher and the student were similar, but the student put peppers in the salad while the teacher put pickles in the salad. Because this causes them to fight over Chicken Salad while their country was fighting each other. The description of the of the fight of the Chicken Salad compared to the fighting the middle East helps show that the little difference from people to people are shown more than the similar ideas they have. Because of the cultural literacy that the student and the teacher had made them friends and had a output of a mutual understanding of both cultures.

I do agree with Gottschall stating that we human are hard-wired for narrative and that this instinct is advantageous. Without stories, our lives would be very unsocial and boring. Stories and storytelling since our ancestors have been around, don’t just give us entertainment but also bring us together, make us learn from mistake, and also become wiser for survival. Once again, if you haven’t noticed what interested me the most this short semester, dreams are a huge part of survival. Gottschall even states that dreams are not for pleasure or happiness. In fact, dreams are filled with negativity to help us practice certain situations and challenges we face in the real world. It helps us survive. Plus another thing that goes with dreams and storytelling

The elementary storytelling video is a relief to me. The amount of information I learned is beneficial for me and educational interpreters. I like how the presenter mentioned three important aspects of interpreting a story, which are facial expressions, body language, and setting up the scene. One of the issues I face is facial expressions. Sometimes, I forget to become the character. Most often, I’m focusing on the actual signing that I forget to represent the feelings of the character. My skills are not entirely week in facial expression, but it can use some practice. As for body language and setting up the scene, I believe I’m better than before, which is great. Anyhow, I enjoyed this video. Besides rewinding a few times, the video gave

After a few minutes the teacher yells for everyone to be quick and sees if everyone is ok by yelling out the role call of the class. After the roll call Ms.Linda shouts” can anyone see a way out?” Everyone saying that they can not see a light Tim replies “I can see a light”. “Follow my voice “ Tim saw the light with his big eyes. They focused in and out seeing the different patterns in the water. When everyone got out they asked how Tim could see the light when it was pitch black. The teacher, Linda, then said” it must have been a structural adaption in your eyes that might have adapted to the pitch black environment, making you able to see that little difference in the dark.

Awareness of the audience’s influence on the narrative process is vital for researchers attempting to uncover details about the past or collecting oral histories. We are not neutral observers merely capturing the pristine expressions of our contributors. By virtue of our presence as observers, recorders, and audience, we are partially responsible for the resulting product. Our interlocutors and their perceptions of us influence the narration of their life stories. Do they see us as academic authorities? Are we concerned outsiders? Do they wish to “set the record straight” through our channel of information distribution or do they want to help us with our work in a spirit of friendship? All these scenarios, and many others, influence

The representation (Fig 2) is taken from the video Bridget Riley: a garden in my apartment (Ted.com) and shows a young man at the window apparently plucking fruit from a successful installation of a window farm. The depiction also contains information about the city scape in which it is operated. The tall buildings in the background inform the viewer that other window farmers are in the area (the green windows) thus suggesting a community of growers within close proximity. The young man is dressed in “street clothes” which suggests the activity is not restricted to an older demographic. The logo R&D-I-Y informs the user that this project is a self learning experience, accompanied by research and do-it-yourself. The research, a cumulative archive

A friend who has just lost his job which helped him cover tuition costs will suffer from stress and it will perhaps take a toll on his body. He will feel frustrated because he needs to adapt to his current situation until he finds another job. Although, the impact of stress may not be as severe as it is to another person in the same situation. This idea is explained in the cognitive-mediational theory of emotion. Richard Lazarus developed this theory in which he explains how people think and appraise a stressor is a major factor in how stressful that particular stressor becomes. In addition, there is a two-step process to determine how threatful or harmful a stressor is and how one reacts to the stressor which are the primary appraisal and

In his podcast On the Art of Storytelling, John Bell asks us what is storytelling? Story telling is vital, every day we experience different forms of stories being told. We may not be aware, but stories are everywhere.

The Brain dominance theory has two hemispheres that include the right and left brain. Both sides of the brain controls different types of thinking. The right brain is expressive and can do creative tasks. The left brain is more structured and organized. The theory is based on what is known as the lateralization of brain function. From recent research, the abilities in subjects are stronger when the brain works as one. One of the strongest subjects is math when the brain works as a whole. (Cherry)

There are many key aspects to giving a strong narrative and by hitting some of these it allows the ready to really get into the story you are telling.

The concepts of (1)pruning, (2)bonding, and (3)attachment, all play an important role in brain development. The concepts of (4)protective factors moderating the negative effects of certain (5)risk factors where demonstrated to be important in keeping the child on the right path of development. The effectiveness and importance of (6)learning through various visual and audio methods was another concept presented that was found to be important to child development. The concept of (7)balancing emotion and cognition was also demonstrated to be important in child development. The concept of (8)family-based, coping-focused, interventions promoting resiliency in ethnically diverse families was also demonstrated to be instrumental in child development.

The choice of using movements and lighting rather than words to tell the story was a bold, but successful choice. This makes the viewer’s requirement to be attentive during the show higher than your average performance. With the story focusing around the revenge felt and the many acts of murder, it is key to focus on emotions and what the actors physically portray. This choice of using no dialogue adds depth and

The use of narrative view are important for an author. It determines how the reader interpret the story and ultimately understanding the theme. In the work of “Hills Like White Elephant” Ernest Hemingway uses third person objective point of view to present the conflict of a young couple over the difficult decision of whether to have an abortion. In comparison to Hemingway’s work, “Great Falls” by Richard Ford, tells the story of the breakdown of the parents’ relation through the eyes of the protagonist Jackie. The authors of the two short stories use these different points of view, to allow the reader understand the overall themes of the stories; which are the essence of a good story.
