What Is Character
This document provides an overview of how to analyze characters in a story. It discusses determining whether a character is main or minor, dynamic or static, round or flat, and the protagonist or antagonist. It also provides guidance on interpreting characters by stating an opinion and backing it up with evidence from the story through paraphrasing, summarizing, or quoting. The document gives an example outline for analyzing specific characters like Mama, Dee, or Maggie and identifying what elements and evidence support that characterization.
Narrative
The document discusses several narrative theories proposed by scholars such as Vladimir Propp, Bordwell and Thompson, Claude Levi-Strauss, and Tzvetan Todorov. It summarizes their key ideas: Propp identified character roles and narrative functions common across folk tales. Bordwell and Thompson believed narratives shape events in time and space. Levi-Strauss analyzed binary oppositions in themes. Todorov's theory proposed narratives begin with equilibrium, are disrupted by an event, then events restore the initial state.
A level media representation lesson 3 stereotypes, countertypes and archetypes
This document discusses concepts related to representation and gender stereotypes, including definitions of key terms like denotation, connotation, stereotype, archetype, and countertype. It provides examples of common gender stereotypes in media and asks readers to analyze representations of gender in examples like Orange is the New Black and popular sayings. Readers are asked to consider how media portrays people of different genders and to identify stereotypes, archetypes or countertypes in examples from current television and film.
Lesson 3 character conventions
The document discusses Propp's theory of character types in narratives and applies it to the crime drama genre and the characters in the TV show Luther. Propp identified 7 typical character types that often appear in stories, including the hero, villain, dispatcher, donor, helper, false hero, and princess. It then analyzes how many of these character types can be identified in Luther and lists some common "good guy" and "villain" character types found in crime dramas. The document examines Alice Morgan and John Luther from Luther in more detail, analyzing how their costumes denote and connote aspects of their characters that position them as a typical villain and hero respectively in the crime drama genre.
Seven opening title sequence analysis
The opening title sequence of Se7en takes place in an unknown indoor location, likely a warehouse or hideout. A mysterious character is shown meticulously planning some scheme, slicing their fingertips and using stationery and photos. The dark, shadowy lighting and blood drop suggests danger and death will be themes. The character's marked hands and precision imply they are a working-class criminal mastermind carrying out a violent plan. Conventional thriller elements like the blade, photos and blood establish suspense and foreshadow violence to come in the narrative.
Question 2 l metjon and fatima
The document discusses how characters in media are represented and their social roles. Characters' clothing and appearance automatically communicate their social class and role to the audience. For example, a mafia boss would dress in nice, wealthy clothing while a hitman would dress in dark, scary clothes. Iconography like expensive accessories also represent a character's high social status and role of being in charge. A character's role in the story further communicates how they are represented; in one example, a victim tied to a chair looks vulnerable while an intimidating boss paces around asking questions to show their power and control over the situation. Character stereotypes are also fulfilled, such as black male hitmen dressing in dark colors and committing violence to
Representation and Star Appeal
This document discusses representation and star appeal in media studies. It provides objectives and topics that will be covered, including different methods of representation (age, gender, race, etc.), their positive and negative implications, and why star appeal is important for movies. Students will analyze images and film clips to identify various representations and how they can impact different audiences. Key points are made about who is being represented, their purpose, and how the intended audience affects a film. Famous movie stars are discussed as bankable assets whose appeal can influence a film's financial success.
Gender Representation Lesson 4
This document outlines how to analyze representations of gender and stereotypes in media texts using representation theory. It discusses analyzing the denotations and connotations of mise-en-scene elements like setting, costumes, lighting, props, and body language. It also discusses applying theories like the male gaze and dismemberment to identify how stereotypes of masculinity and femininity are reinforced or subverted. Students are instructed to analyze a music video using these concepts and terminology and provide peer feedback on analyzing representations of gender.

Most of Earth's water (97%) is salt water found in the oceans. The remaining 3% is fresh water found in rivers, lakes, glaciers and elsewhere. About 75% of Earth's surface is covered by ocean. Water can exist in three states - liquid, solid (ice) and gas (water vapor). The water cycle describes how water evaporates from bodies of water into vapor, forms clouds, condenses back into liquid water and falls as precipitation (rain or snow).

This home work is for the story by Flannery OConnor, A Good Man I.docx
This home work is for the story by Flannery O"Connor, A Good Man Is Hard To Find. As we study and discuss the story in class we learn about the power of a narrator, the carefully created traits of supporting characters, the power of setting and how the author uses these tools to describe the chosen theme. This two page paper asks you to focus on making a connection between
a
(one) literary term and the primary text. This paper is short, hence ONE very specific aspect of the text must be chosen to discuss. The term you choose must be explained in detail. The necessity, presence, and relevance of this aspect throughout the story must be shown clearly. These are the terms
Plot
– The structure of the action; the meaningful manipulation of the action; one aspect of the total design of the story.
Action
– NOT a single event (boring!), but rather a series of events having
unity and significance
.
Narration
– To narrate is to tell a story, to tell what happened. Always be mindful of who the narrator is, where we are getting the story from. Is our narrator reliable? Trustworthy? Damaged?
Be mindful when reading texts chosen for this course to pay attention to
when narration shifts
.
Theme
– Not to be thought of as merely the topic of the story. It is what is made of the topic. It is the idea, the significance, the interpretation of persons and events in the total narrative. It is what we (as the reader) are to make of the human experience rendered in the story – always involving, (directly or indirectly) some comment on values in human nature and conduct.
Symbol
– An object, character, or incident that stands for something else, or suggests something else. The crown, the cross, or the flag are conventional symbols, but the symbols we are concerned with in these texts are not conventional. In fiction an author must make use of symbols at some level, not everything can be spelled out for us!
Foreshadowing
– (my favorite ‘f’ word) – The process of giving the reader a hint or clue of some event which is to follow late in the action. We (the reader) cannot make a blind leap, there must be some reasonable connection between the events – it may not be revealed as soon as we’d like, but it must be a logical connection.
Characters
– Characters are not real people! Be careful not to get too caught up with asking yourself whether or not you like this person, whether you’d hang out with them, or shouting at them to make better decisions. Pay attention to character traits and what they reveal about them; how they interact with other characters (and what that reveals), and what action or symbols are expressed through either characters alone of their involvement with others.
Setting
– The setting of a text is very relevant to all of the above; the traits of characters and how they interact with others; what kind of action can take place and when; they type of symbols that are present, and the theme, what message the author .
Elements of Fiction
This document defines and describes key literary elements used in stories: characters (protagonist, antagonist, types of characters), setting (time, place, cultural context), plot (exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution), conflict (external, internal), point of view (first person, third person objective and omniscient), and theme (central message). It provides examples for each element using the story of Little Red Riding Hood.
Writing for motion picture
This document provides guidance on storytelling for motion pictures. It discusses that motion pictures combine art, music, literature, and theater into one art form. Storytelling through communities educates, entertains, and creates emotional connections. While inspiration is important, application through writing and rewriting is more reliable. Images drive emotion in motion pictures. Storytelling requires drama and conflict between a protagonist and antagonist. The document provides formulas for character motivation and conflict. It also discusses genres, story structure using the three-act structure, character development, point of view, protagonists vs. antagonists, resolution, and asking questions to improve storytelling.
Who is This Character?
A large, dark furred wolf with pointed ears is described. It clung to a mesh fence with its powerful teeth, snarling and backing away towards an exit with a blood-curdling roar, revealing it to be a threatening character.
Creative Writing: The Short Story for Kids... YOU can do it!.pdf
This document provides an introduction to various literary devices and techniques for developing characters in stories.

Finally, it discusses 7 common character roles in stories like the protagonist, antagonist, love interest and confidant.
Characters in literature
This document defines and provides examples of key literary character types including protagonists, antagonists, round/flat characters, and dynamic/static characters. Protagonists are the main characters the audience empathizes with, while antagonists oppose the protagonist. Round characters are complex and multi-dimensional, whereas flat characters are simple and one-dimensional. Dynamic characters undergo internal changes throughout the story, in contrast to static characters who remain unchanged.

Week 4 Assignment Tips
1
Created a 10- to 16-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with detailed speaker notes about a contemporary hero or heroine's quest.
Be sure your PowerPoint is formatted correctly, using succinct bullet points (no complete sentences on the slides themselves) and relevant images. Your speaker notes should be in the Speaker Note section of your PowerPoint and consist of what you would talk about to an audience if you were presenting this to the class. The word document I require is simply for a plagiarism check.
Picked and identified a contemporary story in the form of a novel, movie, or video game that is inspired by a mythological epic or journey of a hero's quest. Briefly described the plight of the main character--the feat(s) he or she must execute for the benefit of society in the face of challenges.
Vampires and aliens are not mythology as it relates to this class. If you choose to use a story not based on one of the myths we discuss in class, please check with me first. It is EXTREMELY important that you choose a myth to compare your story to, because if you don’t, you’re guaranteed to fail this assignment.
Identified the villain of the contemporary story and described his or her characteristics and role in the hero's quest.
This one seems simple, but students lose points for not specifically identifying a character as the antagonist. Please don’t assume that I have read/watched/played the story you choose and make me infer who the villain is. Don’t forget to include the actions this character takes that affect or impede the hero’s quest?
Identified other archetypes within the story. Briefly described these roles in the hero's quest.
This mostly refers to side characters. For example, is there a damsel in distress in your story of choice? Describe the role and actions of these characters and how they fit the archetype you choose from the Archetype list, which I provided in the Week 4 discussion thread.
Identified in detail each of the steps the hero takes in the quest: initiation, separation, transformation, and return.
Students regularly lose points here for vagueness. List each step specifically!
Initiation: what happens that initiates conflict in the hero’s life? Separation: What aspect of the hero’s life is he/she separated from as a result of the quest, and what is it? Transformation: How does the quest affect the hero? Does he/she learn something about him/herself or grow in some way? How? Return: This doesn’t have to be a literal return to the place the quest started. This is just a return to a state of normalcy after the quest is completed.
Researched the mythological and cultural origins of the story. Explained parallels between the myth(s) and the contemporary story it inspired.
It’s important to have a separate slide for this topic where you compare the myth and story directly. Find multiple similarities and differences between the myth and story and compare/contrast them.

Landforms
A beach is a sandy shoreline where a body of water meets land. Dunes are ridges of sand created by wind near bodies of water. A coastline or shore is the border between land and a body of water. A delta is a deposition area where a river meets a lake or ocean, formed from sediment carried by the river. Plains are very large, flat areas of land. Plateaus are elevated, flat areas uplifted by geological forces. Canyons are deep valleys with steep sides. Valleys are low areas surrounded by higher land, often containing rivers. Volcanoes are mountains formed by lava and magma eruptions. Craters are bowl-shaped depressions on volcanoes. Floodplains
Static electricity 1008
There are two types of electricity: static electricity and current electricity. Static electricity occurs when electrons build up on an insulator, like rubber or clothing, causing an imbalance. This can be discharged as a spark. Current electricity involves electrons flowing through a circuit and can be used by people. Atoms contain positively charged protons at the center and negatively charged electrons orbiting around them. When electrons move between atoms, it creates electricity. Objects can become positively or negatively charged if they gain or lose electrons.
Liight bulb
A charged battery contains electrons that want to flow from the negative to positive terminal. For a light bulb to turn on, there must be a complete circuit for the electrons to flow through. Simply connecting wires to the battery and bulb is not enough, as the electrons will take the easiest path without going through the bulb's filament. The bulb is designed so that the only way for electrons to travel from the base to the contact is by flowing through the filament, causing it to light up. When wires create a complete circuit with the battery, base, and contact, current will pass through the filament, turning on the bulb.
Series and parallel
Series circuits have a single path for current to flow, so if one appliance fails the entire circuit is opened and current cannot flow to other appliances. Parallel circuits provide multiple current paths, allowing other appliances to remain lit if one fails since current can still flow through other paths. The key difference is that series circuits rely on a single current path, while parallel circuits provide alternatives.
Conductors and insulators
The document discusses different types of materials in electric circuits. It states that materials fall into three categories: insulators, conductors, and resistors. Insulators do not allow electric current to flow, examples include plastic and rubber. Conductors allow current to flow easily, examples include metals like copper and aluminum. Resistors allow some current to flow but convert some to other forms of energy like light, motion, heat, or sound. Circuits must have a continuous conductive path for current to flow from the power source. Switches are used to open and close circuits to control current flow.
Types of animals
The document discusses the classification of animals into vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates are animals with backbones and include mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians. Invertebrates lack backbones and include worms, shellfish and microorganisms. The document then provides more details about the characteristics of different vertebrate groups like mammals giving birth to live young and fish living their whole lives in water.
Types of organisms
There are three main types of organisms: producers, consumers, and decomposers. Producers like plants can produce their own food through photosynthesis. Consumers like animals obtain energy by consuming other organisms. Decomposers such as bacteria and fungi break down dead organic matter and cycle nutrients in the environment. Together these three groups participate in complex food webs that sustain life.
Ls5 vascular plants
There are two categories of plants: vascular and nonvascular. Vascular plants have tubes that carry water and nutrients throughout the plant, allowing them to grow larger. Most common plants are vascular.
Plants produce their own food through photosynthesis. During photosynthesis in the leaves, chlorophyll uses light energy from the sun to turn carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and sugar (chemical energy).
Vascular plants have two tube systems - xylem carries water and phloem carries food. The process of photosynthesis is essential for both plants and animals, as plants produce oxygen and food, while animals produce carbon dioxide that plants need.
Ls4 photosynthesis
Plants are producers that make their own food through photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce oxygen and sugar (chemical energy). Animals cannot produce their own food and must consume other organisms, such as plants or other animals, to obtain energy. The process of photosynthesis and the roles of producers and consumers in the food chain are essential for life on Earth.
Ls4 plants
Plants are able to produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis requires light from the sun, carbon dioxide from the air, and water from the plant's roots. Most plants reproduce by making seeds, which first requires the plant to get pollen from a similar plant. Pollen can be transferred by wind or by animals like bees. Seeds contain a baby plant and food to help it grow. Plants must adapt to their environment through adaptations like leaves, roots, and other structures in order to survive.
Circulatory system
The circulatory system delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells through the continuous pumping of the heart. The heart has four chambers and pumps blood through arteries and veins. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart while veins return oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. Capillaries connect arteries and veins and allow for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between blood and cells. The lungs replenish the blood with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide through respiration before the blood returns to the heart again.
Body systems 2
The document discusses the major body systems and their functions. It describes the skeletal system which includes bones like the skull, spine, and ribs that provide structure and support. The nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord for sensation, control and communication. Other systems covered are the excretory system which cleans blood and removes waste; the circulatory system which involves the heart, blood vessels and blood flow; the respiratory system for breathing and gas exchange; the digestive system for processing food; and the liver which filters blood and aids digestion.
Cells and organelles
This document discusses different types of cells in the human body including bone cells, muscle cells, nerve cells, skin cells, and blood cells. It provides a brief overview of five major cell types found in the human body.
Digestive and excretory systems
The digestive system breaks down food and extracts nutrients. Food passes through the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine where nutrients are absorbed, and large intestine where water is removed before waste exits the body. The excretory system includes kidneys which remove waste from the blood to be stored in the bladder and later expelled as urine.
Sugar molecule
The document discusses the composition of water, carbon dioxide, and sugar molecules. Water molecules are made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Carbon dioxide molecules are made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Sugar molecules are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms arranged as C6H12O6. The sugar molecules use water and carbon dioxide molecules during photosynthesis and release oxygen into the air.
Ps5 atoms and molecules
All matter is made of tiny particles called atoms. Atoms contain protons, neutrons, and electrons. Atoms of different elements are distinguished by their number of protons. Elements can combine to form compounds, like molecules, which may have very different properties than the individual elements. While atoms are too small to see with regular microscopes, advanced microscopes have revealed that atoms are usually arranged in well-ordered arrays.
Weather fronts, pressure centers and storms
When warm and cold air masses collide, precipitation can occur. Cold fronts are depicted as blue lines with teeth pointing in the direction of motion on weather maps. Warm fronts are shown as red lines with bumps pointing in the direction of motion. High pressure systems usually bring nice weather while low pressure is often associated with precipitation. As a cold front moves across a region over multiple days, it can cause weather changes. Thunderstorms produce lightning and rain, and sometimes spawn tornadoes or funnel clouds. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and cause damage when making landfall.
Weather Fronts, Pressure Centers And Storms
When warm and cold air masses collide, precipitation can occur. Cold fronts are depicted as blue lines with teeth pointing in the direction of motion on weather maps. Warm fronts are shown as red lines with bumps pointing in the direction of motion. High pressure systems usually bring nice weather while low pressure is often associated with precipitation.
The Water Cycle
The document summarizes the water cycle. It explains that 75% of Earth's surface is covered by oceans containing salt water, while 25% is land containing fresh water. Water cycles between the oceans, atmosphere, and land through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. This constant cycle supplies fresh water to support life on Earth.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
