2/18/10
Static and Dynamic Composition In the film Turtles Can Fly we are introduced to a girl named Agrin. She is with a small child around the age of three named Riga. We see throughout the film that Agrin has a strange hatred for the child and wants to rid him from her life. As a viewer we are left to assume that the three-year –old Riga is Agrin’s son, a product of rape when her village was invaded. Ghobadi, the film’s director, uses one scene that really stood out. Agrin takes Riga and carries him, in what we can only assume from the dim lighting to be early morning, through a foggy field. She enters from the right side of the frame with Riga on her back and continues walking off deeper into the distance towards

    Thomas Friedman, an American columnist, journalist, and writer for the New York Times writes the passage, “30 Little Turtles” to inform a general audience who read the newspaper, of the impact of foreign, outsourced jobs to the people who receive them. Using clear unambiguous sources of actual people who receive these jobs, he creates a personality that he applies to all Indians who receive the call center jobs.

    The beautiful imagery is used foremost as they discus the memories of their earthly lives. The character allow the audience to become a part of their vibrant past, however, because most of this dialogue is in past tense, it is important to the atmosphere of the play because it creates the sense that they're removed from their life. There is push-pull formed by the stories told: the characters and their lives become more real and tangible to the audience, but at the same time there is a distinct separation in imagery which allows us to realize that this life was in the past. A good example of this comes from Vincent Mejia. He reveals Mama Jessie' love of dancing through an anecdote saying "[t]he only thing you like was to dance polkas! (He hums a tune and dance a few steps) Do you remember how we danced at that carnival?" (Garro, 3). However, he doesn't stop there, he allows the audience, and himself, to relive the moment; he continues with "[y]our pink dress spun around and around, and your neck was very close to my lips"(Garro3). Nonetheless, Garro doesn't ever allow us to "live" for very long, in fact in the…

    First of all, what kind of deranged, fatuous human being gives a child to a random person outside of bar? That's absolutely ridiculous and unrealistic. No sane person would ever do that and no sane person would even let that happen like Taylor did. The concept of Turtle is completely unrelatable and over the top.…

    In this non-fiction story, the main person’s name was never mentioned. I believe the author had an exact purpose or doing this. Without the author telling us the main characters name, it allows the reader to be more imaginative and we start to use the context clues to figure weather or not this person is male or female. After reading this story, there seems to be a deeper message than the sentences we’re reading word for word. We start to understand the struggle this person is going through on a daily basis. Something as dramatic as being paralyzed in a hospital for six months is something is something a strong healthy person would never even imagine happening to them. They have accepted what has happened and became accustomed to this new, isolated, solitary lifestyle.…

    The first impression that Guernica had on me, looking at the fear on the depicted figures faces that appear to be crowded in a small dark room, was a strong sense of sadness, gloominess, panic and claustrophobia. Even though the painting makes me feel this way I do like it, but I do not think that the effects that Guernica has on me alone, without knowing anything of the techniques or the context,…

    The first scene caught me off-guard, feeling and sensing the real people behind the hypnotic yet grotesque animation. At first it might distract or feel weird seeing shakiness all over and big eyes seemingly pulsating in and outside the lines of their faces, but after the initial unsettling cartoonish vibe, everything just becomes more surreal. It's art, and it's beautiful.…

    Sea Turtles

    If I was writing a report on an endangered species I would choose the sea turtle. The reason I would choose the sea turtle is because in our source “Turtles in Trouble” it gave us the story of a turtle named Adelita. This turtle traveled 6,000 miles alone to Japan. To me that is pretty amazing that a turtle can remember where she laid her eggs especially since it is very far away. Another reason I choose this article is because was pretty reliable. This article was reliable because scientist Jay Nichols, studied her and put a transmitter on her back to track her movements so that he could find out what was happening to this endangered species. This article was not very current because they first found Adelita in Baja California, Mexico in 1986. These are just some reasons why I choose this article.…
