Subversion

1. What are some subversion examples the author mentions? Can you think of other two books or movies that are subversions? Why are they subversions?

Some subversion examples the author provides is the book Go the Fuck to Sleep (GTFTS), which is what the text is mainly written about, and the book Where the Wild Things Are. Two other books or movies I can think about are the Scary movies, which you would think is a horror movie but is instead a parody of scary movies, and Not Another Teen Movie, which is a parody of teen rom-com movies. These are both subversions because from the titles you would think they are serious movies, but instead they are parodies of the genre.

2. What do you think of “Go the Fuck to Sleep?” Who should be the targeted audience for this book?

I think GTFTS is a funny concept that a lot of parents can relate to. I can relate to it because I have a much younger brother who still refuses to go to sleep, and I have babysat many stubborn children who do not want to go to bed at bedtime. For the targeted audience, it is not only parents that can targeted, but also anyone who has had to deal with young, stubborn children.

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. Also how very bland fonts do not appeal to many readers as they might think of it as boring and plain. This gives me a lot to think about as project three comes closer. It makes me think of the reader and what type of fonts might draw them into my website, social media page, etc. This text was very helpful for this type of assignment.

Action Plan

Jacqueline Kulle The peer review helped me a lot for my action plan and gave me more ideas and insight on what I should do. I was struggling with what I should do for my subversion, and I got the idea to do a meme or a comic strip. I have to finish and touch up my website, finish my nondigital picture, finish my comic strip, and get more participants for my survey. The peer review was beneficial and now I have a much clear idea on how I should do this project.

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...
