Design In regards to intertextuality, Teddy from my picturebook is the Humpty Dumpty used in the television show Playschool. This served two purposes: Humpty is known to be an incredibly unlucky character, creating doubt in the readers mind even at the beginning of the story that Teddy is the lucky one; and it also creates a connection to Australian children (and even adults) that watch Playschool. Salience and colour were used hand-in-hand in my picturebook through the colour red: it is one of…
Campbell’s (1989) outline of narrative structure, illustrates the mechanism that allowed of The Simpsons to become so popular. Campbell’s ‘Hero’s Journey’ shows how a character is able to transform throughout a story, journeying into the ‘abyss’ in order to change. This narrative structure appeals to so many as it is the vehicle in which everyone lives. Everyone journeys from the known (Home, Family etc) to the unknown (Work, Stress, Challenges) in order to grow as individuals. The Simpsons was…
Weapons are influence unconsciously almost every one falls victim to them. So you might think to your self how can I possibly defend my self form people using the “weapon of influence” on me.

Now we can remember it and not have to watch videos so there we can see how much we can change in just a little bit. Now this paper will be telling all the research and experiment test we did. Infants have a lot of reflexes when they are born, but we only did a couple with the baby Rylie. Infants usually out grow all the reflexes in a little over a year. The reflexes that were the…
“A Poison Tree” by William Blake is ostensibly dealing with the narrator’s refusal to communicate his anger to a tree, but the overdetermined nature of the words Blake uses makes a final, correct determination of meaning impossible. In this paper, through a utilization of Derrida’s methods set forth in works such as Spectres of Marx and Dissemination, I will examine how the contradictory imperatives contained within the metaphors in this poem draw a reader away from their initial assumption (i.e…

However, this poem paints a picture of a story about exactly that, doing so through a subtle metaphor and simple but powerful visual imagery. Though a poem about the oppression of a group of people, it does not tell a story of despair. Quite the opposite, speaking instead of an uprising of a different sort, of hope as modest as mushrooms themselves. Mushrooms may seem at first like a very peculiar…
