    The Castle

    Have you ever spoken to your friend, and stopped for one second to consider not only what he is saying, but also how he is saying it? The language, the structure and what this tells us about his voice. One can argue that the ‘voice’ is incredibly important. It is the ‘voice’ that enables Human beings to express their thoughts, feelings, and ideas orally to one another. Universally, we find there is a distinct importance on this idea, as despite the circumstance, the ‘voice’ provides us with important insights into the individuals and the messages they are conveying. However, in particular it is the language that individuals utilise at their exposure, which creates the power in their voice. For instance, we find that simple things such as the use of formal language juxtaposed to colloquial language, emotive language compared to rigid and objective language, all play a part in the representation of the ‘voice’. The film ‘The Castle’ and the song ‘You are the voice’ by John Fernham in particular, give us clear insights into not only the notion of voice, and how language influences ones voice, but rather Australian voices in particular. Throughout these texts, the power of language is used to represent ideas about the differences between the ‘authority’ and the ‘underdogs’ and their power and powerlessness respectively. By association, we find that the Australian voice is then further revealed through the exploration of language, as we see notions of justice, mateship and the Aussie battling mentality – central aspects of Australian culture and the Australian voice.…

    On her first day of her new school she makes friends with the most unlikely people she first meets the goofy Xander Harris and his childhood nerdy friend Willow Rosenberg. Both who will be there for Buffy the entire series. Harris and Rosenberg are the complete opposite of all of Summers friends in the movie, or example Willow cares more about making a high grade on her test and less about the latest fashion trends, and Xander is her dorky friend that would love to have conversations about the latest sci-fi movie than football. Not only has Buffy changed but so have the history, destiny, and powers of other slayers. The movie goes in to little detail about previous slayers; the only other slayer mention in the film was from the Renaissance Era as a young girl of sixteen. The first slayer is introduced as a young girl from ancient Africa, who was given her powers from the shamans of her tribe. The show also mentions different slayers from diverse eras and races, always shown in different flashbacks.…

These are the opening lines to the intro song of the television comedy “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, that me and every 90’s kids with a TV has had memorized since the day we first heard it.

    Sustaining the ambitions of not only themselves but the alumni and town of Odessa, Texas is a lot to ask from a young adult. That’s exactly what Permian football provides to the people of Odessa, where the post economic boom of the oil business has left the town in a racially tense, economic crisis. The lights on Permian High School’s football field are the only sanctuary for the west Texas town. Socially and racially divided, Odessa’s mass dependence on high school football constructs glorified expectations for the football team to temporarily disguise the disappointments that come with living in a town tagged as the “murder capital” of America. In Friday Night Lights, H.G. Bissinger reveals the ugly truth behind a town whose integrity relies on a few young men. Bissingers work examines far beyond sport, but more deeply into Odessa’s sociological constraints that are rooted within the town. The purpose of this paper is to identify how the role of high school football affects the racial/gender relations and educational mission of the residents and institutions of Odessa, Texas.…

    Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson: Since the beginning of the school year, high school freshman Melinda has found that it's been getting harder and harder for her to speak out loud: "My throat is always sore, my lips raw.... Every time I try to talk to my parents or a teacher, I sputter or freeze.... It's like I have some kind of spastic laryngitis." What could have caused Melinda to suddenly fall mute? Could it be due to the fact that no one at school is speaking to her because she called the cops and got everyone busted at the seniors' big end-of-summer party? Or maybe it's because her parents' only form of communication is Post-It notes written on their way out the door to their nine-to-whenever jobs. While Melinda is bothered by these things, deep down she knows the real reason why she's been struck mute...…

    What do people believe in? What is it that we put our faith in circa 2017? Do we pray to a pantheon, do we sacrifice to an omnipotent deity? These are the overarching questions asked by the fantasy novel American Gods written by Neil Gaiman. While the book was published in 2001, a many of its budding concepts of a world reliant on technology and dependent on interconnectivity were premonitions of the digital age we live in today. But what have we forgotten as we’ve gained an affinity towards this shiny, instant gratification? American Gods gives us these answers and more in a novel that’s become more than relevant in our connected…

    Taking its origins from a poorly reviewed movie, the 1997 TV how by the same creator, Joss Whedon, brought to the screen a 16-year-old high school student whose destiny was to “stand against the vampires, the demons, the forces of darkness. She is the slayer” (Whedon, 1997). The introduction of Buffy The Vampire Slayer (BTVS), as a character, though not a new one, was revolutionary. Challenging the preconceptions of traditional horror, comedy, romance and teen movies, Whedon has created a character and a show that provide a postmodern, feminist hero for a generation of girls. With themes of monstrosity set up to represent human fears and the potential monstrosities of society itself, set up against a supernatural background, with the typically…

    For this journal entry I chose to review the television show Criminal Minds, viewed on September 21, 2016.

He’s been trying to catch the Keystone Killer, which started back up when Ryan had a book opening.

    Supernatural

    Supernatural refers to a “belief in something beyond the physical, material world [that] is unexplainable and powerful” (Matlock 18). The intriguing aspects include the “thrill of being scared, the fear of paranormal phenomena, and the different possibilities that science cannot explain (Matlock 18). Being Human, a BBC television series, catches the viewer’s attention by its supernatural components. The shows main characters are Mitchell (Aidan Turner), who is “reborn as a vicious vampire after his death in World War I,” George (Russell Tovey) a socially awkward werewolf, and Annie (Lenora Crichlow) who is an emotionally fragile ghost (Axmaker 35). All three of these supernatural monsters live in an apartment together in Bristol while trying to live normal lives (Axmaker 35). I think you should take out this whole sentence -However, their so-called normal lives conflict with their supernatural lives. The series shows Mitchell, George, and Annie trying to lead double lives by attempting to be a part of the human world as well as the supernatural world. Their human flaws however, become evident in their supernatural worlds. The characters are faced with many challenges while managing to be a part of both worlds, through which they realize that they are actually being given a second chance at life.…
