Did you agree section 1 quote (2 Viewers)

[spudcake]

Did you all agree or disagree with the question about "does an engaging image lead you to think about important world issues" ?

i said that i disagree

coz of strictly ballroom

what did u all do?

 

[elliots]

i agreed.
i did strictly ballroom and it fit perfectly

- abusement of power in SB reflects everyday political life
- realism of the toledo milk bar displays everyday migrant experience..
etc.

theres an endless list of images in strictly ballroom that make us think about important world issues

i seriously have no idea how u disagreed with it

 

[want2bdifferent]

I agreed i do the club, and i did an interview with david frost and richard nixon worked perfectly

 

[nico09]

I disagreed. I argued that Henry Lawson sometimes uses it to make you think about issues (The Drovers Wife), but often the point in engaging the reader was purely for entertainment (The Loaded Dog).

i seriously have no idea how u disagreed with it[/quote]

i used visual images like:
the red curtain at the begining is set to make u think its a fairytale and its expressionistic not about world issues

and

how liz is saying she wants ken railings to come in n say pam broke her leg n..etc. shows the jump cuts techniques. designed to break the naturalistic roles and remind u it is a story not peoples life. it is expressionistic.

i said that it depends on the image to whether or not it makes u think of world issues

 

[matthewford]

I agreed to it.
I used.
When The Wind Blows - Cartoon Book
Accidental Napalm Attack - Photograph and
The Falling Man - Photograph

If you know them you would understand why i agreed.

 

[jeckooo16]

i did telling stories - henry lawson
so the quote fit perfectly

 

[Kew]

I agreed with mine on Dialogue (Stolen - Jane Harrison).

Had to agree with it, as my related text literally talked about world issues.. (The 2008 USA Vice Presidential Debate).

..Yeah.

 

[matthewford]

Yeah with mine i had to agreed too.
When The Wind Blows - Book about the effects of a nuclear bomb attack
Accidental Napalm Attack - About the Vietnam War and effects blah blah blah
The Falling Man - About terrorist attacks in New York, 9/11.

 

[sam jay]

i agreed, using the club and an interview with chopper reid.
section 1 was my favourite for modules

 

[9deuce]

Agreed.
Did Bruce Dawe poems + Full Metal Jacket.
Weapons Training- war
Pleasant Sunday Afternoon- women's rights and treatment
Full Metal Jacket- war

Perfect question.

 

[savio23q]

Poll?

I agreed. I think it would've been easier to agree with the question. Disagreeing is doable, yet it could limit you. Depends how awesome you are at English I guess. But agreeing would definitely be the easier way to go.

oh wow.. i see what you mean.

i suppose strictly ballroom could be argued either way

cool

 

[2S1D3]

It was a question where you could just regurgitate a pre prepared, generic essay...

 

[Fat Fung]

i did Truman Show

i agreed with media manipulation became a big issue =]
hope its right

 

[conics2008]

always agree, never disagree...

you never fight with english teachers...

I did henry lawson ( the fag ) and i showed how women role is an issue + mateship + employment etc..

 

[nico09]

What would you say for the Loaded Dog though? You can definitely disagree by the way, just more often it is easier to agree. In this case, I don't think it was.

 

[Sezza08]

I disagreed.

Talked about how lawson rights for entertainment, and fiction stories that are purely plot based, and have minimal connection to life etc. cannot reflect significant issues. etc etc etc.

but yes, i would have rathered another question. :]


oh, and my related text was a film called "Big Fish", and I wrote about the exaggerated physical world not being a real reflection of life and blah blah blah. one of my friends wrote about how the question was ambigueous...or something like that, and how it was too hard to define what SIGNIFICANT world issues are.....or something along those lines...

 

[zoeanne]

i agreed with it...
my main one was the whole contrast between scotts background to when he went to Frans house, the milk bar... showing the whole migrant experience and ways of living kind of thing....


but meh who knows
