Ways of Reading and Jane Tompkins In the book, Ways of Reading, the authors Bartholomae and Petrosky outline what they describe as a "strong reader". They characterize the attributes that collectively contribute to this title and then talk about the relations between a strong reader and a strong writer. The perspectives that Bartholomae and Petrosky discuss on ideas and textual analysis are very interesting and in point of fact remind me of the thought process of which I use when analyzing

What if I told you someone took $20 from cash register at Wal-Mart how would you feel/think? Would you look down on them? Would you be mad that they just took the money while you go to work and earn your money? Would you feel sorry for them? Now what if I told you that person owns the store and was going to give the money to a family who was homeless? Would your opinion change about that person? When people are closed minded, they jump to conclusions. They only believe that there is only one answer

Robbins and Coulter define the SWOT analysis as, “an analysis of the organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats” (239). In this paper, I will use a personal approach to the SWOT analysis to help understand the strengths and opportunities that I possess, along with the weaknesses and threats that I face. By identifying these four factors in my life, I hope to use them to my advantage as my career progresses. Realizing my own strengths and improving upon my own weaknesses can

Reflection #1 – Hugo (Scorsese, 2011) “What precisely is the cinema of attractions? First it is a cinema that bases itself on the quality that Leger celebrated: its ability to show something.” – Tom Gunning It was in a large, packed cinema that I first viewed Hugo in 2011. During this initial viewing it had not occurred to me that this film was a spectacle of the history of cinema. However, upon revisiting the film with a more developed understanding of film history, I was delighted to be able

Perspective can change if the world opens up their eyes and hearts to everything around them. In society, people tend to forget that there are those who have different living conditions compared to themselves. They do not try to understand what others are going through or what can cause them to engage in their actions. In "Bumping into Mr. Ravioli", written by Adam Gopnik, the author writes a story about his daughter, Olivia, creating an imaginary friend that is too busy to play with her. Gopnik

gave me a familiar feeling upon first viewing. I was taken back to a time when a friend of mine, who is deep in knowledge of the cinematic medium, criticized “Pulp Fiction” stating that it was a shameless and terrible carbon copy of “Breathless”, Jean-Luc Godard’s medium redefining film released in 1960. I proceeded to watch “Breathless” and caught a drift for what he was talking about along with a growing intrigue within myself for the French New Wave. Upon viewing “The Man Who Fell to Earth”, I was

Breathless is a 1960 French New Wave film, written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard, about a wandering criminal and his girlfriend. The film premiered in France, attracting two million viewers and winning both the Prix Jean Vigo and the Berlin International Film Festival Award for Best Director in 1960. Godard’s interesting use of numerous jump cuts in the story as well as documentary style cinematography is what makes Breathless so iconic and recognized as one of the earliest and most influential

lasted from the late 1950s to early 1960s. The movement was founded by a group of film critics who wrote for Cahiers du Cinema, a French film journal. In the group of film critics, there were Francois Truffaut, Jacques Rivette, Claude Chabrol, Jean-Luc Godard and Eric Rohmer. The film critics were originally writers and they became well known, recognized directors through The French Nouvelle Vague. They were exposed to foreign films after the Nazi censorship ended and was

James Goodman 5 March 2005 Auguiste Communication Essay Jean Luc Godard's Weekend as Didactic Self-Reflexive Cinema According to Stephen Prince in Movies and Meaning: an Introduction to Film, Screen Reality is a concept that pertains to the principles of time, space, character behavior and audiovisual design that filmmakers systematically organize in a given film to create an ordered world on-screen in which characters may act and in which a narrative may unfold.(262) One mode of cinematic

Chapter 2 This chapter will examine the independence of meta-cinema and authorship. As Valck and Hagener stated in An Introduction to Cinephilia, auteurisim - a cinematic practice set up due to the prominence of the film director - emerges from passionate attendance and critiques on films in Cahiers du Cin?ma, and further aims to cultivate cinematic literacy among the audience (Valck and Hagener, 1999). Thus, auteurist concerns can be summarised as appealing to the articulation and reception of
