Genres

generations symbolizes a genre that is always in flux, undergoing progress, and constantly adapting. The forward movement of bachata, however, begs us to consider whether the bachata being produced today achieves the same social impact as the bachata of yesterday. While Guerra’s commercialization of the genre may have brought bachata from the margins to the attention of national and international listeners, it is the urban bachata of artists like Santos that made the genre “mainstream”…

movie that was hard to fit into a specific category. While it weighed heavy on the dramatic side, there were elements of comedy and thriller that made the film very different from any normal film about two people. The film drifted between various sub-genres, but the movie felt more like a mix between a road movie, an odd buddy film, and a complex relationship study. If we focus mostly on the setting on the film, the film feels a lot like your standard road movie. We have a rambunctious couple…

between Divergent and theories such as the Feminism Theory, Marxism, and Structuralism etc. The first topic that I will be looking at is the genre of the film. Divergent can be linked to many genres due to the narrative but the main genres that it is categorised under are Action and Adventure. There are many ways in which we can relate Divergent to these genres by looking at different aspects of the film which matches the stereotypical values of an Action and/or Adventure film. The first clear…

Moving on to the appearance of detective genre on the screen, Maloney claims that filming in the early 1900s was rather basic, as of being almost dependent on images and visual elements. The actors had to rely on their costumes, facial expressions and the set to be able to get the message across to the audience. After 1903 and 1906 the film industry flourished, describes Maloney, and new techniques and equipment such as the mobile camera, the close-up and the editing of the films was introduced.…

The following list are six take aways that I have gotten from ENG 315 about writing instruction. The six topics are shared writing, inventive spelling, genre with purpose, mini lessons, revising, build writing into daily schedule, and integrating writing and reading together. Throughout class discussions, chapter readings, article readings, assignments, and writing placement, I was able to understand the following aspects of writing more concretely. Revising: Revising was a topic we…

It's safe to say that the end of the world has been a topic of speculation and fascination throughout human history. I would guess that's what makes it such a popular theme in the media. Most often, the post apocalyptic narrative shows up in genres like dystopian fiction, fantasy, and science fiction. Recently, I finished reading a dystopian fiction by Emily St. John Mandel entitled, Station Eleven. Although I don't actively read dystopian fiction, the few that I have read were impressionable,…

How can literature and life be a parallel some may ask, it can be a parallel in ways that people may not think about on a regular basis. Parallels between the genres that we have covered in class and real life are very prominent. The poetry unit in class shows how life is like poetry in the way that everyone sees and feels things in a different manner. Reading A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream, demonstrates how life is like a play,even if it is misled one, also it shows how life is like a triangle of…

influential tools in history. Within the vast world of literature, there are many different genres of writing that can affect the world in varying ways. There are genres such as non-fiction, mystery, sci-fi, romance, etc. Yet there are great writers in history that would argue that another, much shorter type of literature can be seen as superior to these genres, and most certainly very important. This genre would be poetry, and many great poets such as Marianne Moore and Archibald MacLeish argue…

really did was make me hate writing. Deanna Allred did not have the goal to grammatically correct us into submission; she wanted to show us our writing could be good and our writing was allowed to start out bad. Deanna Allred had us explore different genres and our cultural eyes. In her class I wrote a personal essay, a rhetorical analysis,…

With documentaries, there are usually 100% true to the audience. But if you think about it, it’s not really true. If you think about any other genre that is in the film industry, why would you accept them to be genuine? There is always a dilemma when it comes down to documentaries to be considered not truthful or not due to parts from documentaries to be actual documentaries. This is why now a day that Nanook of the North has a lot of criticism that can be harsh. Sometimes we believe that…
