Hard left

brought the now undead Julie forward just as fast. My neighbor had casually reached his arm around behind my seat as he had turned to support the twist in his body. His limb was in direct line with his former girlfriend's salivating mouth. I jammed my left hand back as quickly as I could and grabbed a fistful of long, greasy hair, stopping her teeth mere inches from Dean's arm. Our vehicle slammed into a parked car,…

The political language of "left" or "right" is something that is distant to me as I consider myself not that well-versed in the political realm. However, because of my nature I often agree or disagree with some policies based on my personal thoughts. One of the greatest philosopher, Aristotle, famously points out that human beings are "political animals", meaning we are social creature with reasoning. In a sense by our nature, we as individual participate in a manner in which a society is form.…

the play through personal experience. The play is set during the global financial crisis and demonstrates the effects of it on one of the couples. Let the Sunshine explores the relationship of two families living in Noosa and Sydney; Toby and Ros – left wing documentary makers and book sellers, trying to point out the flaws in capitalism – and Ron and Natasha – the complete opposite, right wing opinions…

My mother leans very far to the right and I usually wake up in the morning to conservative radio so it’s safe to say that I tend to lean right courtesy of her. But that’s normal, it’s impossible to have a completely neutral opinion in politics, moderacy is possible but even the most moderate of moderates leans a bit more one way than the other. I’ve always considered myself to be a libertarian, and I still do. For this reason I scoffed at this assignment when I’d first heard of it. I already…

The left image of the ad gives an impression of sadness and depression, while the right image with the addition of the dog appears cheerful and joyous. The man does not appear lonely with the addition of the dog. His slumped over body stance and tilted head…

victim again. Laura had no one. She tried to talk to Rachel but she ignored her. This had been the biggest mistake she had ever made. Now years later Laura is a single mom with a 15 year old daughter. Octavia was identical to her mother. Her father left when she was six years old, but they are good. Laura is writing in the newspaper and is still writing poems. She lives in the same neighourhood, just a few houses away from her childhood home. Rachel on the other hand is a veterinarian. She…

“screeners” could come up with inaccurate results that could lessen educational opportunities among some. In addition, acts such as No Child Left Behind are being not only altered but replaced. Most recently has been the signing of the Every Student Succeeds Act, and it will go into effect during the 2017-2018 school year, and it fully replaces the No Child Left Behind Act (Klein, 2016). There is a slight discord to the establishment of the new law. There is a claim that ESSA does more to…

Typical codes and conventions of Billboard: 3 visual images 2 separated text black and white colors. In this visual we can see the letter ‘M’ with a big scale and a slogan at its bottom; a fries box in the middle of the billboard, in front of the fries box we have another text and on its right we have a clown holding a knife in his right hand. The billboard seem like it is placed on the highway. Verbal Aspects Analysis I’m hatin’ it: Verbal sign The message behind this text: The masthead of…

On a sunny and beautiful day, Sally was riding home in a school bus because her mom just couldn’t get off work early enough to pick her up. She doesn’t mind though, because it’s been a pretty amazing day overall with her acing the reading test she was so worried about, finishing all her homework while waiting for the bus, and she still has plans to go to the movies later with some friends. With all the excitement she starts to daydream. Almost automatically, without thought, while getting off…

While over the course of this semester we have touched upon a large majority of what goes into Media Studies as well as what entails genre theory. With that being said, I went into class last week with a more negative mindset than a positive one, knowing we were going to see a Disney animation. Although, I walked away from the lecture and the movie, in a much more positive and enlightened than I ever expected. Much of this enlightenment was due to the connections to which Moana and cultural…
