Subversion and Redemption

Megan Heller

1. The most obvious example of subversion the author uses is the book "Go the Fuck Asleep." It is supposed to resemble a children's book, even though it is for adults due to the strong language used in the book. Another example of subversion would be the movie "The Interview" that is politically centered around North Korea and Kim Jong-un as a persona used to target the political climate in the dictatorship. The "Scary Movie" series is a subversion of other serious scary movies in which its goal is to make fun of the concepts of the other movies.

2. "Go the Fuck to Sleep" gives the reality behind the difficulties that parents face trying to get their children to go to sleep. I think it is a humorous take on parental struggles and complications that are all too real for parents. The targeted audience would be parents of young children and babies as they would be the ones that can relate to this difficulty, as well are able to understand the strong language used in the book.

Action Plan

For my action plan I will add more pictures to my website and continue to expand on my topic. I also plan to make posters to place around campus to reach outside audiences and use that as my nondigital source. I will continue to work over the weekend to finish the project and best carry out my message on my website.

1) In project two I first did a lot of research to gather ideas and topics that I wanted to include in my essay. Then I went through and proofed it while adding citations and formatting everything. I did ended up doing three drafts rather than two. Project one was a little easier to write in my opinion because it was based off of our observations rather than facts and statistics. 2) I liked taking my first draft and transforming it into a final draft. This is where I organized all my thoughts and made the paper flow nicely. Once I have all my ideas out on the paper I can easily reorganize, cut and add new things. 3) I enjoyed project one more. I think it was lighter in the sense that it was more fun to write about. I liked exploring the different kinds of social adaptions in the films while also comparing time eras.

Jamica Williams What are some subversion examples the author mentions? A few books the the author mentions It's just a plant, Heather has two Mommies, and Gloria Goes Gay Can you think of other 2 books or movies that are subversion? Scary movie 1 and 2 Why are they subversion? Scary movie is subversive because it takes into account the the rhetorical factors in most scary movies and joke on them. Its more of a comedy than a "scary" movie. Each of the characters do exactly whats expected. They run the opposite way like up the stairs, trip and fall multiple times, and even live with the ghost that is haunting them. What do you think "GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP?" Who should be the target audience for this book? The audience of this book is any adult/parent. Because its probably R-Rated its targeted to older people, and anyone can find this humorous.
