Reflections and chapters 5,6,7,8.

This video shows how students were treaten in the school, punishment as a way of education is forbidden, it may be the best way to educate a child in terms of success but it leaves a trail on the person's life which may affect them later on.

1) Imagine that you are falsely accused of stealing someone’s wallet at school. Your accuser is a credible witness, believed by your peers. Do you insist on your innocence and try to prove it? Do you confront your accuser? How do you live with the disapproval of your peers? Is the knowledge of your innocence enough to sustain you? Write a reflection statement referring to these questions.

Who nothing does, nothing fears. That would be my argument. Of course I would try to prove mi innocent and if no one trusts in my innocence I wouldn't care, I know that my consiousness is clean.

2) What is your opinion of Mr Brocklehurst’s philosophy of education?

It may work but I insist, it affects psychologically on a long-term timeline of our lives, clearly it changes our perspective, leaving fear on us, and educating with fear could work, but that fear would only work with the one producing it, not on everybody.

3) Compare Jayne Eyre to other mistreated heroines from children’s stories (Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White). Knowing that Jane Eyre is the novel that broke many rules about how a mistreated heroine should act, compare and contrast them to Jane.

Jayne is bullied constantly and there's no prince yet to save her, if we want to compare Jayne to this princess first we can tell, she's not from the royalty, she's left alone by her parents. As a second perspective we can tell that she has to endure the bullying by leaving the house and thrive this herself.

1983 Film adaptation and Questions chapter 3-4-5

1) What liberties do you think de director took in adapting the novel into a film?

The director can adapt the novel as he wants to, highligting whatever he pleases , excluding some things that ocurred in the novel and adding new events or even change the way events took place in the novel.

2) What criticism can you offer to the portrayal of Victorian Times presented in the film?

Well first of all and a theme we need to talk about is the abuse in the social structure, the high culture abused a lot from the low culture, just like the Reed's with Jayne, aswell how money was so important back then and just the fact of having money would grant you different traits and rights.

3) In a contemporary context, how would society manage the constant abuse and bullying against a child within the heart of his/her family?

The only way is with the rights child have, aswell as human rights but there's no way to stop this, there will always exists cases of abuse and bullying within family or schoolmates.

Chapter 3-4-5

1) How would you describe the relationship between Jane and Mr. Lloyd? How do you think this affects her?

Mr's Lloyd kindness is very helpful to Jayne constant bullying physically and psychologically, one of her few reasons to stay there, but still not enough kindness compared to all the harassment from the Reed's.

2) How did Jane's character changed in her confrontation with both Mr. Brocklehurst and Mrs. Reed?

After Mrs. Reed comment about she gets really irritated, but afterwards she manages to tell Mr. Brocklehurst the truth about her dark childhood.

3) What is your first perception of Lowood School? What do you predict for Jane's future at Lowood?

We can tell that life there is tough, even Jayne noticed that after her first day there, bad food which led to unfed students, no water, etc. I could tell that she will have a bad time at Lowood, but with friendship she will be able to have better time rather than on Gateshead.

He was looking for an image to his daughters, a mother who would show what he wanted them to become in the future, he tried it out with 3 different womans.

Image Analysis: Charlotte Brönte's Landscapes

Through this images we can get lonely and dark feelings, we can presume that the graveyard may justify the horrorific events in the novel, such as ghosts in the red-room or the short story Jayne heard. Aswell in the other images I can see different feels such as peace and freedom, I could presume that's what Jayne dreams were.

All this images gives us a perspective of Jayne Eyre's context and I could tell, in some sort of way, Jayne's hopes.

Written Task 1

Jeremy Jone's Lifestyle and More.

Jeremy is a professional snowboarder most known for big mountain free riding. Jeremy has as well his own snowboard line and lot's of movies of his adventures climbing and riding mountains. He, as you may know is sponsored by O'Neill and some other brands, Jeremy as well is a really old snowboarder, with 37 years old being still on track you can tell he's one of the pro's. Today Jeremy is going to explain us a lot of things about snowboarding and some part of his personal life.

First of all I would like to ask you, How and Why did you start snowboarding?

Everything started when I was about 9 years old, I was living on England back then and a lot of friends of mine used to ride. After some time I bought my very first snowboard on which I started riding, and since the first time I went down hill I knew snowboarding was gonna be my call, that's how my heart got hooked forever.

Jeremy have you ever thought or tried any other extreme sport? 

No, I haven't tried any other sport but for Snowboarding, it's just that this sports full-fills my needs in every single way, economically, emotionally and physically. That's why I don't want to stop doing snowboarding, it's what I love and wouldn't change for everything. Although I have thought on doing other sports but yet I haven't tried them, it's like starting all over again on a different field.

What's the difference between Snowboards and Sandboards?

Well, I guess not much haha, it's basically the same perhaps snow is more dense than sand, this makes snowboarding sort of easier, and I can't bear with high temperatures. But snowboarding has it cons as well, to deal with all the cold we have to wear lots of clothes and such, it's stressing...

What do you spend your free time on?

On my free time I like to spend time with my wife and daughter, but free time doesn't mean no snowboarding for me, it's just a time to relax on Truckee while going to Squaw Valley so my wife and daughters can ride with me.

What's your favourite place to ride?

Alaska mainly, after riding for some years I decided to start doing big mountain free riding and the best place was Alaska, that's why I decided to go there and now I think that I'm going to stay for some time riding there, well at least until I find a better place, which is not going to happen.

Do you enjoy doing movies? Which one's your favourite and why? 

Yeah, actually I love showing to my fans all the stuff me and my team does to record such things, it's not easy but the results are awesome. I think my favourite one is Soul Purpose because it shows the best parts of snowboarding, in that movie we put much of effort to show the audience that we're here just because of love towards the sport, because we as riders have snowboarding as a soul purpose and not as a money gain activity.

Image analysis

This ironic image tells us that we do not receive full information by the media, we just receive what they think is better for us to know, and what is not. We don't get full updates on terrorism, clandestine clans, etc. We just know the usual what will not make a disorder on society, this is why the media is a complete lie.

Media Manipulation Activity

1. What is Harold Laswell’s Chain of Communication’s Model? This models tries to explain how does the the media manipulation works, in which grade, etc. this is made by answering the following questions: Who(Speaker) -> What(Message) -> Channel(or Medium) -> Whom(audience) = Effect.

 2. What does the theorist Marshall McLuhan’s mean by stating that “the Medium is the Message”? The media decides what we should be informed about, what information doesn't require to be known (Area 51, CIA, etc). This is how the media manipulates us

 

 3. Refer to Jurgen Habermas’ “Public Sphere as a Platform for Advertising”

The public sphere constantly gives us a lot on information from different topics and different medias, this is why it's almost impossible for people to ignore what they're watching/listening

 4. What is the connection between Self-Presentation & the Celebrity Image?

Celebrities make their self-presentation make themselves more attractive to the
public.
