My Progression

This week I have expanded my knowledge on Sports magazines and made a better idea on what coursework I want to do. I have acknowledged what standard I need to get to with my magazine cover to achieve a good grade. I have textually analysed another Sports magazine which I have posted on my blog.

Representation task

Class - This is a negative representation of this person as they have revealed the story about her committing suicide due to a alcohol addiction, which is looked down on upon society (having a alcohol problem) her class is a C1 as she is an owner of a salon owner.



Age - This is a negative representation of teenagers 13-19 because it shows them robbing and hurting someone. It clearly shows the teenagers being violent and un civilised. Which not all teenagers are like that. This is portrayed as a negative thing.



Gender - Stereotypically Sylar (the man) is victorious over the woman and this gives a negative representation on her because it shows she is weaker and more vulnerable than him. He is more powerful and he is champion. This representation of woman is portrayed a lot through out the media of today.



Race - This is a negative representation of Indian people because it clearly shows the poverty and grief they deal with. Also with the song in the background still puts a negative representation, almost saying they're are trouble.



Sexuality - In this clip we see two lesbians being happy with each other until the other twin is criticizing and saying it is wrong to be a lesbian and then is portrayed as a bad thing and this program is very popular and aimed at an audience which will be in fact learning there sexuality so this is a very serious thing. Towards the end though, she admits it to everyone and the sense of emotion is portrayed upon to you, now it is a positive thing, the message then being 'be yourself'
