12. Isa way in which
a story is told.
It can both be
fictional and non
fictional.
13. What we learnt from the Bulgarian theorist is
that some narratives start with a state of
equilibrium when everything is normal.
When everything is normal and get disrupted
by a bad force the state of normality is changed
to disequilibrium.
After protagonists defeats antagonists the
disequilibrium state goes back to normal. This
is called new equilibrium.
14. All is should be
(Normal)
A young 21 year old law
student almost at the
peak of success
A disruption by event
Young lady becomes pregnant,
mother is displeased with her and
her best friend doesn’t want
nothing to do with her and she gets
ran over by a car.
Damage is repaired by
disruption and there is
a return of restoration
She wakes up alive and
traces her past. Things
gradually go back to
normal a few years later.
15. What I learnt from
Propp is that you can
classify characters by
their roles and actions.
This links to our
opening
sequence, because the
characters are all
different and we could
understand each actors
key function.
16. What we learnt from
Claude is that stories
reflect values, myth and
beliefs of culture.
This is expressed in the
form of “Binary
Oppositions”
In our opening sequence
binary opposition will be
used to show the main
characters 2 qualities at
different times. One
showing her to be a
weak person and then
becoming more strong
and independent.
Weak Vs STRONG
