    Take a look again at high school stereotypes through the short lived television series from the late 90’s, Freaks and Geeks. Based on the pilot episode of Freaks and Geeks, media techniques are used effectively to depict the different stereotypes in high school. The camera shots & movements are used adequately to show the power of the bullies and the weakness of the victims. For example, when Sam Weir is approached by Alan (the bully), at lunch, the camera is pointed upwards towards Alan’s face to make him seem bigger and scarier while the camera would be pointed down on Sam’s face making him seem smaller and inferior to Alan (Kasdan 1999). This example…

    This is depicted through various techniques such as rhetorical questions and similes. For example, Harry has come to the realization that he must die and ponders on his self worth. “Why had he never appreciated what a miracle he was, brain and nerve and pounding heart?” This rhetorical question exemplifies his understanding of his significance and capabilities as an individual, therefore a realization of whom he is (belonging to himself). This assists him in completing his mission in the novel despite the difficulties. Similes construe belonging to oneself in the novel, with: “Like rain on a cold window, these thought pattered against the hard surface of the incontrovertible truth, which was that he must die,” displaying his emotions as he finally comes to terms with his mission. The recognition of who he is and his full potential helped him finally comprehend that he must die. Illustrating that he had reached a fulfillment of character thus finally belonging to himself wholly, in turn helping him overcome his…

    We do not need magic to transform our world we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already -J.K. Rowling. J.K. Rowling is a fictional writer born in England. She is most widely known for creating the wonderful world of Harry Potter in the 1990’s. Rowling came up with this idea for Harry Potter while delayed on a train and many of her ideas for the book came from her own life. The Harry Potter book series contains seven books that are immensely popular. Rowling’s first Harry Potter book introduces readers to the world of witchcraft and wizardry along with the main character Harry, who is first learning he is a wizard. The books tell of Harry’s time at school from when he first started…

    As it follows the magical heroism of the eponymous protagonist, the Harry Potter franchise explores such deeply relatable themes of survival, belongingness, and oppression—paradoxically appealing to intimate issues inherent within realistic society whist too inventing a distinctively detached, high-fantasy environment. Ostensibly, the normative confines of the magical realm of Harry Potter transcend those of the non-magical “Muggle” world: Harry’s conversations with the seemingly sentient Headmaster portraits that adorn Hogwarts’ walls, for example, would likely be deemed an abnormal experience of a visual-auditory hallucination based upon the cultural and experiential norms of the Muggle, Western psychiatrist. Yet, the “othering” and stigmatization…

    Many people would say that the ABC series Once Upon a Time is a lousy show, is unrealistic, and does not make sense or follow a good storyline; but over its first six seasons, Once Upon A Time has stolen my heart time and time again for many reasons. These writers and the creators of this show Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis have re-created many people's favorite scenes from their favorite movies like Prince Charming finding snow white and Waking her up with true love's kiss, or beauty and the beast dancing together, and they brought so many favorite and new characters to the show unlike anything before.The writers changed classical fairy tale stereotypes, they give the villains a chance at happy endings, and a deeper backstory than usual,…

    It's impossible not to notice, how our modern pop culture's stereotypes influence how women supposedly should look after giving birth. It all comes down to a not-so-realistic picture, an expectation that many believe is unattainable and simply impossible to achieve with anything conventional... Indeed, many medical experts say, that burning calories with a breastfeeding will not burn all the calories you consume, just as well as too much fitness and other physical activities immediately after giving the birth will not give you a picture perfect either. With the daily (even hourly) ravage of Instagram photos by the likes of Kim Kardashian and Gisele Bündchen of our pop-culture, it's hard to avoid that kind of pressure. Eventually women feel the need to lose weight and tighten up just weeks after welcoming their baby. Dr. Diana Zuckerberg, president of the National Research Center for…

    The movie relates to the topic of the course, as it focuses on narratives of adolescence in European cinema. It takes place in a far off dimension in the United Kingdom, contains a unique combination of basic teen everyday dilemmas, social relationship matters, mental maturity conversion, and various turning points shadowed by a super natural kick. I plan to explore different influences within Harry's life - his parents and parent-like role models, his friends, romantic relationships and rival enemies - to see how those relationships attributed to his maturing. Consequently, the point of focusing on society will result in a comparison of his decisions, which were much associated with protecting his kind and ensuring peace to the generations after him. The matter of taking responsibility for not only oneself, but also others, is very much relevant to the pressure many teens are feeling across the globe today. As the course focuses on gaining content and source for the coming of age subject through films, discussion and analysis of the Harry Potter movies will aim at gaining a…
