The movie I chose to do my scene analysis on is Do the Right Thing. The scene I chose in the movie is the scene of the 20 “D” Batteries. The scene of the 20 “D” Batteries reflects the movie and the scene because it betrays the ethnic and racial tensions between each race and the cross-cultural communication between them. Throughout the movie the filmmaker Spike Lee uses wide variety of angles but in this scene he uses high angle and low angle. The character Radio Raheem is walking down the sidewalk listening to “Fight the Power” by Public Enemy on his Boom box, the director Spike Lee uses a low angle to make Radio Raheem seem as if he is powerful. In contrast when Radio Raheem walks into the store we see the little Asian boy

For the very first outcome, I have chosen major paper 1 since I explore 3 different genres of art that have a same theme, the novel, movie and musicals of Notre-Dame de Paris, and what strategies these three different genres use to attract their audiences in my major paper 1. Thus, I had deeper understanding of different strategies in different contexts. For the second outcome, I think that my annotated bibliography would perfectly illustrate this outcome since I spent hours to read, analyze and refine those resources I cited in my annotated bibliography and synthesize what I need to effectively support my major paper 2. For the third outcome, I used what I have refined and synthesized from my annotated bibliography to create complex but structural and analytic context to make my points convincing. For the fourth outcome, I would like to use my deconstruction paper, which was written in the first month of the fall quarter, because my professor commented that I lacked clear structure in my deconstruction paper and made some confusion. I could prove that I am skillful to use learned writing strategies and skills to rewrite by revising my deconstruction

Drafting a final paper allows you to put together all the research you have conducted into one form and analyze it. Until I took this class, I honestly did not know half of the element involved in a proper research paper. I only knew the very basic components and not the fine details.

In the novel “American Psycho” written by Bret Easton Ellis, the protagonist Patrick Bateman uses his wealth and violence which are exemplified in scenes involving the murder of his ex-girlfriend Bethany. As well as appealing to the idea to maintain his image by any means such as purchasing expensive merchandises and taking the initiative to attend upscale restaurants. His actions with the implications of those elements reveal the consumptions of status and privilege. The detailed narration of Bateman’s intense violent acts and purchases of expensive products creates imaginary and conflict for readers to accept as true the impression he is trying to demonstrate to the general public and associates. This may result in readers rejecting the character and concluding that Bateman does not deserve/worthy of the position in society he desires to achieve. This plays a significant part in how to read the novel because it demonstrates the obsession of acknowledgement and the measurements individuals are prepared to carry out. The most attention Bateman receives from the other characters in the novel is compliments on his tan instead of his success or presence. Experiencing treated like, can possibly understand his motives for preying on women. Feeding off the vulnerability and weakness of women provides him with the confidence and authority that he lacks.

Before the Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock made its way into theaters across the world, film was produced in a completely different way. Some of the elements that were in Psycho were things that nobody saw in movies before. According to Entertainment Weekly’s Owen Gleiberman, when the movie came out, it took place in “an atmosphere of dark and stifling ‘50s conformity” and that the elements of the film “tore through the repressive ‘50s blandness just a potently as Elvis had.” (Hudson). Alfred Hitchcock changed the way that cinema was made by breaking away from the old, “safe” way of creating a movie and decided to throw all of the unwritten rules of film making out the window. The main ways he accomplished this task was by adding graphic violence, sexuality, and different ways to view the film differently than any other movie before its time.
