A Great Guide on How to Cite Social Media Using Both MLA and APA styles

[honey-with-mocha]

I learnt about this in school. That in a show, there are times you go a full circle, I just want to add that well, in this show.

The L Word

(Left side, First Episode First Season and Right side, Last Episode, Last Season)

You know what’s pretty cool about it? It has all the full arc thing explained, the second scene before this - is Bette and Tina making love. Real love in the culmination of the problems/everything they’ve had.

Shane comes in feeling the leaves, they see each other.

They sit on the stairs outside their homes 

Bette asks Shane “What are you doing up/out this/so early?” 

Shane responds with “Going home” 

Shane then realizes that Bette and Tina had a “good” night & proceeds to tease them a bit.

Bette and Tina are just lovey dovey over there :D

Kinda cool, kudos to this :)

Hero Mind Map for MYTHPOP

So... this is my very late assignment for the topic "Atonement with the Father" for MYTHPOP

This was quick done with a Prezi.

  This is the main view - most of my characters are book heroes, computer game heroes and a little bit of TV shows heroes.

The next one is the top left which shows a category of Heroes in their AGE. Something like a Venn Diagram example/

This one, the top right is a simple diagram about HEROES who meet with different species, some like (EXAMPLE) Jose Rizal, only meets people or rather humans so he's in the One Kind or Culture circle, while the other circle has the hero interact with different beings such as Mythological Creatures or Aliens.

Last one at the bottom, is a balance diagram. These are for heroes are more knows as the "brain" or the "strength" (or brawn) of the story.

Flood Myth under Roman Mythology (a mythpop thing)

Photo is not mine: it's from here

This second story is a little bit more ROMAN

kid style explanation by yours truly

According to ancient Roman Myth 

Jupiter was about to destroy mankind but wanted to give them one more opportunity. With this in mind he went down to earth with Mercury, one of his sons. Together they went about the town looking like tired travelers going about every home in search for a sign. As they went through the houses, many of the humans turned them down and were even told off rudely. At the end of the line of houses there nobly lived a married but poor couple, Philemon and Baucis.

Philemon and Baucis were delighted to have visitors and gave the best that they could offer despite their poverty to the visitors. Because of their kindness, Jupiter and Mercury led them high up the mountains where they could see the punishment the gods gave their neighbors - this was of course a flood. The gods then asked what favor they would want to be granted. The couple said that they wished to be temple priests and die together (awwwwww so -- sniff-- sweet- sniff sniff)   

When they died, they became intertwining trees.

See the old woman and man on the left and Jupiter and Mercury on the right? Plus a goose! The goose was actually the catalyst for the gods to show themselves.

Flood Myths under Roman and Greek (a MythPop Thing)

Photos are not mine: The drawings are from mintflower's deviant art account The  first story is more about GREEK, with an almost the same but also a little bit different of it's ROMAN version.  

. kid version explanation by your's truly 

GREEK

 Zeus decided to flood all of the men (with Poseidon's help) during the BRONZE age. Prometheus, a titan upon hearing about this told his son Deucalion to build a chest. Soon many of the people were washed away (INTROTA do OOTI voice!). Deucalion and his wife, Pyrrha (daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora) floated on the chest where they floated for 9 days and nights and were sent to a mountain (Parnassus) at the end of the flooding.

At the mountain, the spouse realized that they were the only living ones left as of Zeus' bidding the husband and wife were to throw rocks down below, the ones thrown by Deucalion were made men, Pyrrha the women, while the animals came out from their own volition.

ROMAN

Jupiter was angered at the evil ways of humanity - with that he decided to call on help from Neptune to flood everything except the summit of mount Parnassus where here he saw Deucalion and Pyrrha survive as they were on the boat. Jupiter who learned of their piety let them live and withdrew the flood.Deucalion and Pyrrha, along with a past advice of an oracle created the world once again by throwing "her mother's bones" or "stones (because the bones of her mother are now the stones of the earth [something I read] link)". The stones became the new men and women. Learn More

Stereotyping - Why it's a choice :)

According to Dovidio, even those of us who believe that we don't stereotype, do. "We categorize people automatically, unconsciously, immediately, based on a person's race and based on a person's sex."

According to C.N McRae, stereotyping is a way that makes us humans create an order in our complex society.

Stereotype is done by how we as individuals see people for WHAT they are rather than WHO they are.

Black clothed people are either Emos or Goths. Rock musicians are all life ruiners, punk people don’t have a heart. Black people are bad, white people are good and all those other stuff.

Yes, stereotype help us categorize people, who is the teacher, the secretary, the boss, the worker, the janitor, the student, the senior, the kid, and anything else that can be labeled as is. However, this way of treating people eventually becomes a prejudice in turn becomes discrimination when it involves many negative emotions, that when hurting and insults come in.

Discrimination involves treating a person or group of people unfavorably because of a characteristic they are based by.

Although often seen in a negative light, stereotypes derive from some aspect of social reality. Stereotyping  is a way in where the perception  which involves ideas from ourselves such as our self confidence.

When do we start in stereotyping?

1.       When we are tired – this is where our cognitive brain has been drained in thinking a lot – this will lead our brain to go on autopilot and in such rely in stereotypes.

Given the circumstance that we are new to a group and is taking a part to vote for a group president we would have to think rationally on WHO we can trust the group and so and so. However, if our brain is tired of thinking, from the day’s problems, event etc. Our brain will shut down and leave our instinct to rely on an impulse basis. This would lead us to picking a person whose character outside we know, but inside we do not.

        Example: A pretty, sexy, tall blonde is what we see outside, but we do not know she is an A+ student. A nicely dressed guy with glasses and a briefcase – who we don’t know just wore a good suit for the day but is really a nobody.

With this we already do stereotyping – basically by just looking at someone we come to realize that we can put them in separate boxes in our minds and arrange them as how we see them or how society treats them.

2.       When our ego is lessened – when our own selves as threatened we apply our stereotyping to a certain way to compensate.

There’s this beautiful girl who came to a party – she isn’t dressed skimpy but is talking with a guy. You come up to her and flirt – she talks with you in a friendly manner, just when you’re about to say if you can meet her again – the guy she was talking to comes up and introduces himself as her boyfriend – in that little setting – you’re ego has been hit and rejected. The girl “friendly” talk now becomes flirty, and rather than being beautiful in your eyes, she becomes a flirt.

3.       When we are competing with resources – when in a game or competition an individual will most likely lead us to invoke violent reactions on others.

A simple example is in a class setting – there are two groups in a game, it is a tie breaker round – your group knows the answer but was beat by the other team seconds later – there will be regret and of course a strong sense of injustice as such by bullying “they cheated! Unfair! Etc.”

What we say may be a normal response from us as humans and how we have felt, but it doesn’t mean that just because we feel that we do not regard other’s feelings. What if they were hurt with what we said? It then becomes our own faults.

Stereotyping becomes a normal everyday thing for people – but putting stereotyping in a bad way that shows discrimination becomes dangerous, because no one had any right ridiculing someone else. In a simple way it means:

“Try being in someone else’s shoes and see what it means to be in their world"

One can never make accusations, because one does not know what the other person really feels.

Background:

This is taken from Hachiko "A Dog's Story" starring Richard Gere and Joan Allen. This clip shows Joan (wife of Richard Gere) seeing the dog still going to the same place he waits for his master (Gere) to come home even after death - and it has been almost 10 years since the dog first waited.

This clip even makes me cry - so if you get the story or want to watch it - grab a box of tissues - double it if you're an animal/dog lover.

RECITATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS:

First scene shows a full shot, of the train station plaza. We can see in the farther back that the dog is walking towards the circular area.

Second show uses the rule of thirds, and is a middle shot of one person who is in a shop - which is looking directly towards the plaza (from the west)

The camera then pans to the right, going outside the windows of the shop to show two people walking - knee shot.

As the two people are walking towards the camera, the camera still pans to the side, creating an arm motion.

Then back to the first scene, but with the dog already sitting on the plaza circle.

Next is a medium shot of the dog. Then face shot of the woman using depth of field as well for the Japanese man in the back (the man is Gere's friend). ThIs shows that the woman sees the plaza and is focusing on the dog.

The camera slowly pans towards the man showing is approval - as he looks towards the woman going to the dog seemingly thinking what she would do or feel.

Next shot is a tracking motion full body shot of the woman as she walks, brisk walks then runs towards the dog with the tracking following her speed. 

Halfway the womans run, the camera changes to a middle shot of the dog with the depth of field of the woman as the background, showing that the woman is approach our subject which is the dog.

The camera tilts up, to accommodate the middle shot of the dog and the full shot of the woman. 

Close up shot of the dog's face (clearly he is old and dirty) this is used so that the woman (who was gone for years after her husband died) could see and actually believe that this was their dog and is still there. 

Next shot is following the woman as she bends down towards the dog, medium close up shot.  Then a face shot of the dog practicing the rule of thirds.

Then a middle shot of the two as the woman goes nearer the dog. Then a medium close up shot that the dog is sniffing "recognizing" the woman.  Back to the middle shot of the woman and dog.

Cut to a Close up of a man selling hot dogs and coffee (suki of Gere before he goes to work via train and who occasionally feeds the dog hot dog scraps even if Gere is gone and the dog comes back). Cut to a train ticketer* going towards the window *camera*. Close up as well. This shows the the two men had a bigger part in the story and obviously knows the woman and dog hence their looks.

Cut towards the middle shot of the woman as she converses with the dog.

Cut towards the camera following the dogs face (close up shot) head movement. Until the woman is back on the frame -as both look towards something. (The train station doors)

Back to the two shot conversation.

Then rule of thirds of the ice cream vendor crying (middle shot) as we use the depth of field with the dog and woman almost frames by the cart pole and the man showing that the man is crying because of them.

Cut back to the woman and dog middle shot, then cut to a side shot of the woman and dog, side shot is closer - face shot. Then from the front a close up- two- middle shot.

-and it ends...

If you want to see the story - well watch it, it's good - it can make you cry buckets. 

I'll admit I cried a whole 30 to 35 minutes with this show, even after the credits it was pouring.

[honey-with-mocha]

The All Around Fave Wishlist - what's to come, and to wish and watch again and again.

First the essay:

"What is the significance of film/cinema to you?" Or, what is it about movies that appeals to human beings in general, and therefore appeals to you?

There are many things that movies appeal to me. One is that it enhances my imagination and my emotions. To being in far places imagining the feeling of being a part of such cast. The emotion that is placed in many movies that elicits a reaction from me whether it be tears of joy or happiness. Another is the use of imagination and logic, in terms of short films or the series, where there is the emotional appeal (usually used in telenovelas as the bitin factor or cliffhanger) and of course the logic of what could happen next.

It's appeal is never ending really, because my mind will always need to find a release from life and a new excitement to tackle and think about.
