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.

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.
