Save the Last Dance

The movie our group chose was Save the Last Dance. The dances in the movie helped carry out the plot of learning new things, going for what you want, and love. We chose these categories to talk about because they fit best and were the most portrayed. They were also the most seen in this movie for various situations. That is why we chose this movie and these categories.
Learning new things was a big thing for the two main characters and we will tell you how. Sara was pushed out of her comfort zone. She learned new dances outside of her usual dance style. She learned how to live without the things she was used to. She also learned how to live in a new environment while accepting that everything was gonna take some getting

    There are several qualities in a movie that creates an impact on the audience as well as entertains them. My favorite movie would have to be The Breakfast Club. Not only does it portray a school similar to the one of mine, it gets a good message across throughout the movie. Having a movie you can relate to is great, you can make connections to yourself, and even relate them to people you know, which makes the movie that much more interesting. Another attribute a good movie has is a meaningful message.…

    A universal definition for terrorism does not exist, instead perceptions of the meaning, which are subjective, culturally and politically situated, and fluid, (Oates, 2008, p.135) are constructed, primarily by Governments, and disseminated to society through its’ mass media.

    My digital argument and media text is trying to accomplish educating people about the ways contemporary culture like the media, misrepresents culture and race like the Ancient Egyptians, which reflect how we deal with race/culture today. My goal was to help change the perspectives that many people have on Ancient Egyptian race/culture because the media misrepresents and white historians throughout history have whitened Egyptian history. My audience in the research paper was geared towards academics and scholars, but during the remediation project, shifted to appeal towards college students, or upper high school level audience. I chose a video for my project because my topic dealt with media, movies and images. A movie was a way to cohere all of these elements and also present visual…
