In the TV series limitless we see the aspect of Establishing character first developed in episode 5 when Brian wakes up the Moring after having NZT and sees that he has left a message for himself telling himself to become "bad ass Brian". The first way that Craig Sweeny developed this theme was thought the use of the technique of humour. In this shot we see Brian talking to himself by videotaping himself and leaving a note for himself to play it. Craig uses this to show how the Brian in NZT feels that Brian that’s not on NZT is incompetent

Another way Craig Sweeney developed the aspect of Establishing character was though the use of sound and music and close ups in the scene when he is telling his father about how he wants to be part of the FBI, Brian sounds as if he is annoyed with his dad but he looks saddend that his dad doenst support his decision and his dads body language is showing he does not agree and is annoyed and saddened at brians decision but he will still support it, they are standing very close together and as brian explains why he doenst want his dad to "go to war" with the FBI he tells his dad that "what Ive always wanted more than anything is to make you proud, and if you don’t agree with my decision, if you think in doing the wrong thing, I guess I'll just have to find a way to live with that" this shows us brians serios side and he is an

    Overall I found this book very interesting. It covered a vast majority of topics and was very eye-opening on a lot of issues. Most of these issues happened in the past, but they clearly have affected education throughout the years and will affect education in the future. Many topics are controversial and it is very important to be educated on these so that as educators we can deal with them as they arise. This book did a wonderful job with addressing a lot of those issues, and made myself question if the world could ever go back to the segregated ways it once was.…

A short inspirational paragraph that uses the appeal to flattery fallacy usually starts the chapter off.…
