Analysis of Friday Night Lights Friday Night Lights is a good view of how football envelops the live of everyone in the Texas town of Odessa. While it does use football as a main theme, I don't believe it is a book mainly about sports. The story is mostly about the people in a town that has nothing to look forward to except football. The story chronicles the lives of a few players and their parents. The author describes their background, characteristics, and reactions to football and life

I chose the television series American Horror Stories to do my analysis on breaking the norm in television. I chose this series because it breaks all of the norms due to its graphic content. The show is geared for a more mature audience and is rated TV-MA. Programs rated MA are unsuitable for children under seventeen.

The definition of coming of age refers to the hardships and achievements in a young person’s life. It is the gradual development of a person and who they become. Sophia Bush plays the character, Brooke Davis, in the show One Tree Hill. Brooke Davis is the character most girls can easily relate to. Sophia Bush says her favorite part of the character she plays is her “evolution”. She starts off as a stereotypical teenage cheerleader who seeks to be the center of attention and her happiness revolves around money. Throughout the beginning of the series, Brooke is a young, carefree girl who is rambunctious. She constantly went to parties and had many sexual relations with numerous amounts of boys. Emily states, “I hated her in the beginning because she was always trying to stir the pot, always creating drama.” Even though it may have appeared her life was not complicated, the many obstacles she faced helped her transition from childhood to adulthood. She grows into a more sophisticated and grounded young woman.

Lorelai wants the best for her daughter so when Rory gets to opportunity to go to a private high school, Lorelai does everything in her power to give Rory the change to go, even if it means that Lorelai has to reconcile with her parents. Lorelai dreams of running an inn and Rory dreams of attending Harvard, so the show is centered on these two plots. The show also has subplots of romance, comedy, and family drama. This isn't the type of show that I would normally watch, but since the show includes a lot of comedy I gave it a chance and it became

Vince Gilligan’s ‘Breaking Bad’ is a TV series about Walter White, a chemistry teacher, who starts cooking Methamphetamine to provide money for his family. In an interview with The New York Times, creator Vince Gilligan said the larger lesson of the series is that "actions have consequences". He elaborated on the show's philosophy: “If religion is a reaction of man, and nothing more, it seems to me that it represents a human desire for wrongdoers to be punished. I hate the idea of Idi Amin living in Saudi Arabia for the last 25 years of his life. That galls me to no end. I feel some sort of need for biblical atonement, or justice, or something. I like to believe there is some comeuppance, that karma kicks in at some

She became pregnant with Rory when she was sixteen, and left her wealthy parents’ home to raise Rory alone. Emily, the

Amy Sherman-Palladino, the creator of Gilmore Girls, essentially wrote the show about nothing. After not having a job for years, Sherman had writer’s block. On television, everything she saw seemed the same, identical characters and paralleling plots, she desired to create something different. Once, she had visited the small town of Washington, Connecticut and loved the “everyone knows everything” idea. So she thought, “Why not make a show about it?” After tweaks by the production company, Gilmore Girls was born. Although it is a show about a single mom, by nitpicking through character’s witty banter, one can see the philosophical aspects of the show. One of Sherman’s main goals was to create no analogous characters. In this attempt, she

In todays modern society, there is now a constant growing concern about adolescent’s exposure to the medias portrayal of sexuality and love. The publicity of love and sex that todays adolescents are saturated in is mainly unrealistic and false, theoretically affecting and distorting their, behavior, beliefs and attitude towards sex and love. These impractical pictures tend to commonly be publicized through social media, networking, television and movies. The medias views tend to contradict the biblical messages towards love and sex, confusing young society on the meaning of true commitment and love. A popular television show targeted to the demographic of female teenagers ‘Gossip Girl’ features and emphasizes the wrong messages concerning love and sex.

This sort of rating usually subverts common horror ratings as it is very low but this was requested by the film makers. The film starred Daniel Radcliff an actor who starred in the renowned harry potter series of films all rated at 12A so Radcliff’s fans that are usually younger were attracted to the film which aided in it’s lower rating the film makers wanted to appeal to this so the film was not as graphic as some other horror films but some parents and the BBFC still has some concerns for the children watching it at age of 12 because they found that supernatural being convincing children to kill themselves and murdering people would disturb younger children the children who wouldn’t usually watch horror films were brought by Radcliff another scene were concerns were raised was with the woman in black hanging herself from a noose and the young girl setting herself on fire with an oil lamp so they cut certain scenes darkened certain shots and reduced sound affects to achieve the lower rating which is all unconventional of a horror

“There are always stereotypes in high school. People are placed into groups. You’re a jock, you’re a cheerleader, you’re a freak, you’re into the drama department. I had a lot of trouble fitting into those groups when I was in high school because I wanted to be a part of all of them. One Tree Hill represents people who are multidimensional and who like more than one thing.” Hilarie Burton, who plays Peyton Sawyer, says it perfectly herself. One Tree Hill shows diversity among all. The use of every “stereotype” is used in this series to allow every viewer feel as though they have a place, making the show significant for young adult viewers especially. The main characters in the show are all friends, yet they all have different interests. Despite the drama, relatable for any high school viewer. While other shows place teens into certain stereotypical groups, One Tree Hill does just the opposite by allowing everyone to be themselves. Dissimilar from most shows on television and stereotypes of high school, One Tree Hill does a substantial work of portraying the diversity of all people by bringing all together.

The times mature content is censored is on TV. Many people watch TV so the possibility of a child watching a mature show is high but it censored to a degree. In Japan, Article 21 of the Japanese Constitution guarantees freedom of expression and prohibits formal censorship. “Freedom of assembly and association as well as speech, press and all other forms of expression are guaranteed. No censorship shall be maintained, nor shall the secrecy of any means of communication be violated” (Japanese Constitution). Videos Games and anime from Japan will have nearly any forms of sexual content be censored with the teams creating product asked to either “add clothes to the characters” or make the female character's “less sexy”. This result of censorship in america has resulted in anime and video games creators hesitate to released materials to america. There's no such thing as "underage" when it comes to art. “These characters are pixels on a screen, not people. Even "of-age" characters are, in actuality, less than one year old when most of us see them; and on the flip side, characters who've been around for a long time, like Lisa Simpson, are in their 20s. The age the character is given in continuity is just a number. It's not representative of anything real.If these were real people, yes, I'd agree it's something that cannot stand. But they're not. And that makes all the difference in the world”
