Judith Butler's Interdependence

Improved Essays
Judith Butler’s “Interdependence” as I said earlier is the only clip in the movie that present a dialogue between 2 people, and this dialogue make the movie clip seemingly more welcoming, and personable it almost gives you the sense that you are intruding on an intimate conversation between Butler and Taylor, which is essential an appeal to pathos. While strolling around the Mission district of San Francisco you are not only engaged by what they are saying but also a firsthand account of how exactly what they are discussing plays out in the reality world . To duo enter a thrift store where Taylor finds, tries on and buys a red sweater, the whole scene demonstrates exactly what Butler and Taylor had been discussing prior to entering the thrift store, which appeals to reason, or logos. …show more content…
The scene at the cash registrar is awkward and revealing of the struggles that Taylor endures daily to live her life. Taylor is capable of doing a lot and has specific ways of doing things so that she can achieve what most able bodied people can do but she needs assistance, just as able bodied people need assistance to help Taylor through coaching by Taylor. The filming of these segments is very effective and really helps to drive the point of the discussion. Taylor being present in this clip brings ethos through credibility, it is not just an able bodied person discussing the struggles, you see the struggle in the films, it becomes

    Gatsby’s love, Daisy, is trapped in a world of materialism due to the highly materialistic society of 1920’s America. This money-minded society is a result of the abundance of wealth due to the economic boom after WWI, the rapid wealth creation from bootlegging due to prohibition, and the extravagant and unrestrained lifestyles of wealthy New York. The character Daisy Buchanan represents this materialistic society, and thus her love is centred on materialism. “It makes me so sad because I’ve never seen such-such beautiful clothes before” By pairing “beautiful shirts” and “sad”, Daisy ironically exposes her mistake in marrying Tom instead of Gatsby. This expresses her highly materialistic and thus conditional love for Gatsby.…

    Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6whbvX_ULeI The movie scene I have chosen to analyze for my rhetorical analysis essay is from the 2016 film Fences. Starring Viola Davis as Rose and Denzel Washington as Troy, the scene begins with Troy, Rose’s husband of 18 years coming clean of not only his affair but of the fact his mistress is now pregnant. Set in the 1950s, the director of the film really brings the time alive just in this short scene. From not only the house decorum inside and out but also in the way both main characters are dressed and the manner in which they speak.…

The sight of them made her so sad and sick she did not want to see them ever again” (Godwin 1).

    In the beginning of Roberta M. Gilberts textbook Extraordinary Relationships: A New Way of Thinking About Human Interactions (1992), she argues “In the realm of the purely personal - after food, water, and shelter - the quality of relationships most often determines the quality of life” (p. 3). I believe this statement perfectly sums up how vital and necessary human relationships are for human life, and the strong impact they play on having a positive and meaningful life. There were several concepts presented throughout chapters 1 - 12. They were each of equal importance and each greatly impacts the understanding of relationships. In order to have a purposeful life and a greater understanding of relationships, there are many crucial concepts that must be understood, three of them are differentiation of self, thinking systems, and the relationship pattern of cutoff.…

    The literary book “Things Fall Apart” is a well-written novel by Chinua Achebe about an ordinary Nigerian named Okonkwo and it explains how the impact of European colonization in his village significantly changed his life. Though this is the main idea, the novel also consists of many hidden messages which are shown through the interesting plot turns and literary devices. A theme that Achebe explores through the book is the role of men and women in the Igbo society and how certain customs are associated with each of them. The powerful personalities of the unique characters such as Ezinma, Ekwefi, and Nwoye, and the way that they reach out of their gender stereotypes is one of the main reasons that this piece of literature was so entertaining to read. While Ezinma and Nwoye’s actions and mindsets make them different from other children of the same gender, Ekwefi’s interests and mentality set her apart from other women as well.…
