Background:
I am comparing and contrasting two extracts from two sitcoms: one american: Clog zilla - Season 7 Episode 20 The Relationship Diremption from The Big Bang Theory and the other, british: "It's An Outrage Mummy" from Fresh Meat.
How is naturalism used to establish a sense of real time and space?
Von was shown swearing within a minute into the scene. This feeds into our cultural perspective towards young black people: they get easily annoyed, swear frequently and have no respect for elders. In addition, from the moment JP enters the kitchen until the very moment he leaves the room, he talks to his mother with utter disrespect with random outbursts of the "f" word. The way Jack behaves with his mum is th...

    For an example, Tan uses word diction like “yanked”, while Chua uses words like “squeeze”. The word squeeze and yank share a similar meaning, but portray a totally different diction. Unlike Tan’s excerpt, Chua uses irony to illustrate a tone: “‘RELAX!’ I screamed”(Tan 47-48). The irony Chua uses creates the innocent tone. The innocence is created by the mother because she is trying to help her daughter relax, but then she screams, making it only more difficult for her daughter to do so. Although Chua’s excerpt illustrates a stressful tone, some diction portrays a good side of their relationship. Amy Chua says her daughter said “Stop it, Mommy. Just stop it”(Chua 47-48); the term “Mommy” is a word that illustrates love and care, showing the reader that there is still a good side to the

    Lead characters Gweneth Paltrow and Joseph Fiennes were impeccably fitting for their roles and did a great job. While supporting actor Ben Affleck, has an unforgettable ego and although Afleck too, did a good job, I was a bit disappointed that his accent was so shabby, if you will. Colin Firth played the obnoxious and arrogant suitor, Earl of Wessex and in a very admirable performance Judi Dench as Queen Elizabeth. It is my opinion that the cast was fantastically chosen. Miramax and the casting manager, Michelle Guish does an incredible job and hits the nail on the head with the matching actors for the dynamic roles.

  • Importance Of Textual Analysis

    1073 Words  | 3 Pages

    These are some conventions that are seen in a variety of situation comedies. However, in order to understand how they work, there needs to be an understanding of why and how they are used. This can be done by performing a Textual Analysis. According to Brennen (2013) describes textual analysis as a method, “all about language, what it represents and how we use it to make sense of our lives” (Brennen, 192). Brennen (2013) breaks down textual analysis by first defining what ‘text’ is. A text is anything we use to make meaning from. This means that anything from a book to a film to a website to popular music can all be considered a text. The goal of a textual analysis is to evaluate the meaning (or meanings) found in these texts and attempt to
