The Cameraman

"Hey girl, wanna be my jalebi (dessert)?" "You filthy cannibal! You want to eat me? What is wrong with you?!" Arya scrunched up her nose at the spiky-haired guy who had said the awful pick-up line and sped along. She clutched Anjali 's arm in case the creep attempted to . . . devour them. Spiky opened his mouth to explain, but Aarya turned her head the other way. "Aarya, he was flirting," Anjali cajoled. "Why do you enjoy scaring away possible boyfriends?" she continued, clearly unimpressed…

Propaganda: The Cruelty Tool The year was 1933. Joseph Goebbels was made head of the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda. Propaganda was introduced into daily life. However, things were not as they seemed. With the end of World War I, all of the blame was placed on Germany for ramifications and Germany had to pay off war debt as a repercussion. Germany needed a scapegoat. Their choice was the Jews. Propaganda used by the Nazis provided a hidden Anti-Semitic message and…

Discovery can encompass a philosophical and cognitive shift towards a new and deeper understanding of ones’ self and the world, this can occur through the results in a change in perceptions. (extending sentence - answer to Q. here) This transformation is examined in Simon Nasht’s 2004 documentary which follows the story of Australian ‘Frank Hurley - The Man Who Made History’ who was one of the last great imperial adventurers, who captured some of the greatest events of the 20th century and…

For my second multimedia project I decided to rewatch some of my favorite seasons of How I met your mother. Besides a little research into the characters last semester I haven’t see the full series in a couple years and let me just say, I am surprised by the things I’ve missed/overlooked in the past. Though there are great examples throughout all of season 6, as well as every season, that show the minoritization and universalization of different intersecting identities, for this project I will…

blooming again, but they don’t smell for some reason” (Tarkovsky). This is because whatever that had happened in the Zone blocked the nose’s ability to smell which is exactly what happened to the victims of the Chernobyl accident according to a cameraman in Svetlana Alexievich’s novel, Voices from Chernobyl: “I don’t smell anything. The garden is blooming, but there’s no smell! I learned later on that sometimes the body reacts to high doses of radiation by blocking the function of certain…

We all have had our fair share of celebrity crushes, especially on a star sports personality. Be it cheering them from sidelines or while watching a live match on television, a fan shares a special with their idol. In fact, there have been times when overenthusiastic fans went on to propose marriage to their dream ‘lovers’. And it most definitely made a memorable sight to watch, especially if it’s recorded on camera. Remember tennis legend Steff Graf’s sassy reply to her admirer who shouted,…

surprise attack with some form of a weapon, which cannot be a rifle since it is heavy for a child and its intense noise and recoil. Due to this, I can think it is a bomb or grenade. The scene then shows mother and son gazing at each other, and they cameraman also kindly zooms in their respective eyes. The mother’s eyes seem…watering to me, showing that she is either proud or afraid that his son is becoming the same as his father. But the son’s eyes seem really sharp, meaning he is insisted that…

In Metaphorical Ways of Knowing, Sharon L. Pugh, Jean Wolph Hicks, and Marcia Davis emphasize how metaphors have the ability to raise hidden or subtle commonalities seen in everyday life (18). Although I agree with what Pugh, Hicks, and Davis wrote, metaphors involving animals and humans still bring about a negative connotation once compared, and through these comparisons, another pattern appeared where an animal’s normal behavior can be seen in humans’ action. Pugh, Hicks, and Davis as authors…

Even given the setting WWI provides, & the natural nationalism that typically spurs from such occasions usually allows for momentous pride through the nation, however, even in moments of unity for the American people there is still opportunity for the nature of the countries darker roots to emerge. image Although our main historical focus did not occur till 1919 it has its roots in 1915 with the release of The Birth Of A Nation. This film worked to “exploit the sexual stereotypes imposed on…
