Subversion and Redemption

1. Some examples of subversions are GTFTS (Go the Fuck to Sleep) and parodies. The tv show 'The Rugrats' is considered a subversion because it about adventures a group of babies have in their home. Parents believe it to be subversive because it actually encourages the children who are watching to misbehave. Another example of a subversive tv show would be Spongebob Squarepants. This show is meant to be entertaining towards young kids,  but behind the funny and comical lines are hidden meanings to sexual and mean jokes.

2. I think the book 'Go the Fuck to Sleep" is a really funny idea. It gives adults a way to laugh about how hard it is to put their child to sleep, and relate with other parents. The targeted audience should definitely be adults, and not toddlers since there are curse words. Putting children to bed can be a lengthy and tiring process, so the book seems like a smart way for parents to be able to laugh about the stressful process of putting their kids to bed.

This text showed me how us as readers perceive a certain font or text and how it can influence our mood and how we feel about a certain reading. It also showed me how elaborate texts can draw us into something such as a poster or a title page of a book.

Subversion and Redemption. Rachel Klahm

1. Some subversion examples the author mentions are Max in  Where the Wild Things Are and Don Quixote. Other movies that are subversions are  A Haunted House and WALL-E. WALL-E is a subversion because it's a light hearted cartoon with a much deeper meaning. Humans have abused planet Earth with industrial corporations to the point where they must abandon it until robots have cleaned it up. The moral lesson is that technology and industry are bad and if we continue on the path we're on, the Earth will turn into the trash ridden world that is in WALL-E. Despite this, the film is still pro-human. Compared to the usual "humans are bad for nature" lesson, WALL-E  actually shows why Earth needs humans. The movie has no real dialogue from anyone, just robot sounds and intercom voices on the ship that the humans live on. When WALL-E   meets Eva they ask each other "Directive?" which basically means "What's your purpose?" Each robot in the film has a dir...

Action Plan

Haley Ketchum My plan is to finish my three genres and finish my website. My website is nearly finished, but still needs a few touches to make it look good and work efficiently. I’m still unsure of how I am going to do my three genres. I forgot about how one of the three genres has to be non-digital, or a remediation, etc, so I need to replan my genres so they fit these requirements.
