Writer's Choice 4/29/15 (Fifth Harmony)

In the spirit of writing a literary analysis I decide to read a review on an album by Fifth Harmony. They are newer group of 5 woman and it didn't seem like any names that were super big in Hollywood (at least right now). I had only hear two of their songs on the radio this past weekend before reading this review, that's why I was intrigued by the review when I was looking for one to read.
As I read the review it was eye opening to think about how woman have become famous in music and how it hasn't always been that way. I guess I have never thought about the fact that women didn't always hold the top spots on the Billboard Hot 100. It makes sense since women haven't always had the same rights as men throughout the course of history. It's just never really been something I consume my time thinking about.
The article intrigued me to go and listen to the rest of Fifth Harmony's songs. They are really good in my opinion, but of course it all depends on what type of music you enjoy listening too.

Blankets Trailer

Blankets - page 450 

I felt that the trailer posted on your blog hub was really well done. It captured all the main themes, characters, and emotions that I saw in the book after I read it both times. The first theme that was prevalent in the book was growing up and the struggles that come along with and also growing apart from family. Craig discussed the struggles with his parents and his brother and the demons that he had to overcome from his childhood. Struggling with faith and loneliness is also very important in this book it is a major struggle that Craig deals with throughout the entire book. He isn’t sure what his faith is and what his beliefs are. Craig doesn’t know what he wants especially, after he falls in love with Raina. He struggles a lot throughout the book and he  has a lot of demons that he is trying to overcome throughout his whole life. The trailer captured all of these themes extremely well. The trailer also captured the main characters Craig and Raina (I think the trailer left out Phil and Craig’s relationship with him). It also captured their prevalent emotions of love, sadness, and happiness. The trailer was very well put together.

If I had to make a book trailer for Craig Thompson’s Blankets I would include many aspects of the book without giving any major parts and the ending away. I would include the themes, characters, and emotions like in the trailer that was on the blog hub. I would leave out the major points in the book and the ending. The trailer can’t give away too much. The audience I would be targeting is both teenagers and adults because I feel like the themes are relatable to both these age groups. When you are a teenager and an adult you have lived enough to know what the book is getting at. The book is really relatable and I feel like if I made a trailer I would want the audience to get an idea of these relatable themes and ideas.  

The Incredibles: What is happening to the Supers and the Parr's

There are many significant scenes in this movie, but the one that I found extremely important to the story started at the 1:00:00 and ended at the 1:02:30 mark. Yes, it is only a 2 minute and 30 second scene, but Pixar cramped lots of information into that short amount of time. Also, this scene has two sides to it, Mr.Incredible’s viewpoint from Syndromes secret “headquarters” and from Helen’s viewpoint at Edna’s house.

What is my favorite movie???

I have a lot of favorite movies, so I guess it all depends on the day or week what my favorite movie is. This week I would say that my favorite movie is The Perks of being a Wallflower.

Interesting...

I read an article/review about the movie, Fifty Shades of Grey since it was just released and peoples posts on Facebook and Twitter have been blowing up my social media feeds since the movie was released on February 13th. I personally haven't seen the movie or read the books and don't plan on it. I even nothing against the movie or books it just isn't something that interests me. On the other hand, I was intrigued by this article because I have either heard that people love the books and movie or they absolutely hate it, so I was interested in what side this movie review was going to take.
