living prophet essay (draft 1)

In some ways, Derrick Jensen is a living prophet. Although I doubt that he would consider himself a living prophet, he has this certain outlook on life that differs from most others. The great thing about his outlook is that he finds the truth that is hidden beneath all the lies. Things that “others” try to distract us from, Derrick Jensen brings it to our attention. In the end it’s the audiences option to believe and try to do something about it. Throughout his book, the culture of Make Believe, he explores cases of racism, hate crimes, prostitution (to name a few) and tries to understand the different aspects of the ideas. He tries to show how the different ideas string together. In order to show how they align, he must first explore the ideas separately and in doing so realizes that the strings get more tangled.

comment on Rosie blog

i didnt get to finish reading your essay, but one thing i realized is that you have a lot of grammer and spelling errors.
For your analysis of feed, a good point to record would be how the feed only allows you to see what 'THEY' want you to see. If the characters begin to think about important things or understand soething the feeddoesnt want you to think about, the feed will try to get your attention on something else. I think that this plays a role on how the characters have an outlook on life and this also effects tutius decision to live out his life in the end.

revelation draft 1

A revelation is realizing that everything is not what it seems. An enlightening revelation changes your outlook/ perspective on life. Revelation reveals the unknown and is like an epiphany that begins the process of starting with your newfound insight. Crucial elements of a revelation trope consists of a prophet (who is the revealer and usually comes before disciple), the disciple, life changing views, insight/enlightenment, learning to think for yourself. Many times something big must happen to the revealer for it to process the disciple. Other times there is resistant to the message. Those that oppose the revealer tend to be portrayed as the ‘bad guys’.

trope essay draft

Wikipedia defined a trope as a common pattern or theme used in literature. The class definition of a trope is similar. It is a familiar theme repeated; an element used over and over again in stories like figurative language portrayed through characters, plot, or setting. A few examples of tropes are; the arrogant teacher, sympathetic people, eccentric detective, smart but dork sidekick, happy endings, good versus evil, fight between good and bad etc. Many movies portray tropes such as Disney classics: Cinderella, Beauty and the beast, Snow White, classical comics and heroes: Batman, Superman, Spiderman. These adaptations are continuously copied in films, books, and television shows/series for all ages in different genres. Crucial elements of a revelation trope consists of an important message that has to be revealed, a messenger/ revealer that is different than all other characters, something bigger happens to revealer, change in point of view, resistance to the message. Other revelation tropes include: life-changing experiences, fighting unacceptable situations, learning to think for yourself.
While watching Foxfire we applied the elements of a revelation trope. Angelina Jolie was the revealer that was set apart from all the other characters, who seems to appear out of nowhere. The message she tries to reveal is that you shouldn’t just sit around and be harassed by a teacher just because he is an ‘authority figure’. She teachers to the girls to fight against the authority figure and stand up for themselves. She says that if it could happen to one of them, it could happen to any one of them. The obstacle they are faced is with is a teacher that sexually abuses his female students. The cheerleaders resist the message that Angelina’s character tries to get across.
