The children’s television show I chose for this assignment was Scooby Doo, Where Are You! As this show is no longer on Cartoon Network or Boomerang I watched an episode from a DVD, as I own the series. In this episode, The Haunted House Hang-up, the gang is on their way to a rock festival. Instead they end up at a haunted house where there is apparently a Headless Specter. They get involved in the mystery as usual finding clues until they unmask the person. The main characters of this show are Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, Shaggy Rogers, and Scooby Doo. Fred is portrayed as the strong leader and good at making plans. Daphne is portrayed as not very intelligent, klutzy, and is often the damsel in distress. Velma is the smart nerdy girl. Shaggy and Scooby are both portrayed nearly the same, both of them being athletic, but also as a duo …show more content…
There was a fake head in a box in an attempt to scare the gang away from the house. Daphne fell down the stairs and while Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby were coming down the hall, Fred and Daphne almost hit them over the head with jars because they thought they were the Headless Specter The chase sequence was where the majority of the violence took place. Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby attacked the Headless Specter a couple times. The first time they knocked the villain down with a bookshelf and the second time they caused a four poster bed to crash down on him. After getting on a bike the trio crashed through a window on the second floor and fell down into a well. In the final part after Fred formulated the plan to catch the villain, Daphne and Velma trip him with a wire as he runs across the threshold. All of the instances of violence were physical. It could, however, be argued that Fred, Daphne, and Velma making Shaggy and Scooby do all the dangerous work or simply the things they do not want to do is a form of verbal

Michael Chabon author and Pulitzer Prize winner for fiction, writes a short keynote speech called “Kid’s Stuff.”
Dr. Seuss 's Go, Dog. Go, was a book I remember reading a lot (probably because I loved dogs so much). When I was younger I used to go to my aunt 's house during the summer, and my grandmother would always be there. She enjoyed reading, so she made me read a book a week, whether it was from the library or from the books on the shelves at my aunt 's house. I did not enjoy going over there to read, especially since it was summer, but I did get rewarded after finishing a book with a game of Guess Who? with my grandmother.
Doodle’s brother guilty or innocent you ask? Well let see here hmmm… GUILTY, GUILTY, and umm oh yea GUILTY! I mean helllloooo he's so guilty you couldn't even give evidence that he's not , I mean sure he might have said he loved his brother but would someone who loves their brother say that they were going to kill him? Let me teach you something I call it “Lying” and “lying” is where someone says one thing but never does it, I wonder where you might find that… oh yea DOODLE’S BROTHER. By now you’re probably saying something like smart like “Oh yea then he could oh lied about killing his brother than huu.” but sorry for I have evidence to prove that that wasn't a lie.
The next character that intrigued me was Brian, the quote-on-quote "nerd." A nerd is a person that is academically inclined and is known for striving to get good grades and being socially inept. His confession of why he was in Saturday detention seemed a lot more serious then it actually turned out to be. He was in Saturday detention because he had a gun in his locker. He bought the gun to kill because he had intent on killing himself.
In the essay “Kids’ Stuff” Michael Chabon argues that comic books have become too centered around adults and need to be more focused on youth readers like they were during his childhood. Chabon claims that the authors goal audience has changed over the years.Comics that were once written for children are now written to appeal to adults. Throughout the essay, Chabon disagrees with the authors choice to aim comics toward adults instead of children. He feels that authors should write children stories for children.

Toy Story is the groundbreaking 1995 motion picture developed by Disney and Pixar and directed by John Lasseter. The film was so revolutionary not only because it was the first feature length animation to be created completely by CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) but also, also the film was more rounded in all respects. The characters not only looked more sophisticated and three-dimensional but their personalities were also more human and fewer cartoons like. The film uses a constructed text in order to put across a theme of two very different characters learning to work together beyond their rivalries to rise above a common enemy and work towards a common goal. The film uses characters and imagery very cleverly to portray this theme. The music used in the film is also different to other Disney features. Rather than the characters bursting into song themselves as in Aladdin or Hercules, the songs are played and sung by an outside person (Randy Newman) and reflect the mood and emotions of the characters in a particular scene. For example, the title sequence song “Friend in Me”, when Woody and Andy are playing together, and the scene where Andy’s room has been made over to a Buzz Lightyear theme, “Strange Things” where the song reflects Woody’s confusion and fear not only about the change in his surroundings but also the change in his friends and his own character and self-confidence. The attention to the smallest detail for example the reflections in Buzz’s visor give the film even more realism and depth. The use of unusual and imaginative camera angles, made possible by the use of CGI, also adds to the texture and pace of the film.
Throughout The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger, Holden Caulfield uses the word “phony” prolifically, using it to describe anything that hits the wrong side of his fancy. Despite Caulfield’s insistence that he hates phoniness, he himself often puts up a false front in various situations. As we will see, Caulfield’s view that most people are liars and fakes expresses disgust not with individual people but with himself and with life as a whole as well as a slightly nostalgic idealization of his memories.

When studying the black diaspora within the United States, the story typically starts with the classic slave narratives including those of Frederick Douglass and Mary Price and ends with the affirmative action decisions of the late 1990s. History tells the story of an internal racial identity struggle through the institutions of slavery and oppression, resistance and rebellion, cultural reawakening and civil rights which evokes the question: what does it mean to be African American? Aaron McGruder’s animated series The Boondocks creates a context to consider the question of what it means to be an African American today and discusses the institutions that are now molding the African American identity. McGruder criticizes the idea of a black monolithic identity through the use of hyper-exaggerated stereotypes and a medium typically reserved for children to make satirical commentary. This disintegration of the idea of a homogenous black diaspora identity opens the door for conversations of race and identity to be had in a wider context.
