Subversion

1.     1.   Some of the examples the author lists as examples of subversions are Seriously, Just Go to Sleep, Where the Mild Things Are, Don Quixote, and Monty Python. I think any of Roald Dahl’s books are subversions such as Matilda and The Witches and George Orwell’s Animal Farm. Dahl's books are subversions because a majority of his literature is comprised of childrens' books; however, most childrens' books contain role models and life lessons where as all of the adults in Dahl's books are greedy, undependable, and purely evil. Orwell's use of satire in Animal Farm portrays political ideology during the Russian Revolution on a farm setting.

2.       2. I think GTFTS is pretty funny, but I wouldn’t read it to my child if he or she was not old enough to understand that the word is inappropriate in many settings such as daycare or school. I think the targeted audience is more adults. I feel the story was supposed to make parents feel better about the struggles of trying to get their children to bed and that all parents go through the struggle of bedtime terrors.

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.
