We every day are indoctrinated with product placement everyday, whether it is obvious ( tv adverts) or more subtle ( like in a film). The Truman show takes the subtle approach, but to the obvious extreme. Millions of people watch the Truman show, people generally look up to Truman. They want to be like him. And the t.v producers take advantage of this, just like in our rea lives.

Throughout the book Myers includes dialogue that would appear on a movie script. They use phrases such as; “CUT TO: LONG SHOT (LS) of PETROCELLI. She stands at the podium in front of the JURY. She smiles at the JURORS, and some smile back” (Myers 20). I like how the Myers includes the “script” because then the reader knows who is talking at all times and can tell their personalities from the dialogue.
W’s or what Meg is going through in her life. Also, the movie adds scenes to the begging like Charles coming from under a blanket and telling the family about teratoma, the human teeth and hairball after Meg calls the twins "human hairballs” and Charles claiming he hears people talking to him in his head after dinner. I feel that the only reason Disney did this was to extend the movie time. Instead of adding useless scenes to the begging, they should have just stuck to the book, regardless if the movie isn’t long enough or not it will still be “good” because that’s the way the book depicts it. In the book when we meet Meg she is described as a homely, awkward, with braces and glasses in the movie she is given a more attractive appeal taking away her glasses and her braces.
These traps include “ritualistic listening”, accusations described as questions, “why” questions, “not” questions, “I understand” responses and “yes but” responses (p 115-121). According to Petersen (20070 we use these traps almost mindlessly in our daily conversations and that once we recognize and change, we can become effective listeners.

The final two sections show us how to use the Talker-Listener card tool in group and family settings.
When Atticus fails to understand that Boo was the one who killed Bob, Scout explains Atticus a lesson which is usually visa versa, that you must never kill a Mockingbird and by exposing and giving him the negative publicity towards Boo it would be like killing him in a way. This is the major turning point in Scouts maturity because she finally sees Boo not as evil but as a gentle creature just stuck in a bad situation. Although Scout matured drastically she still managed to be daddy’s little girls when she falls asleep on Atticus’ lap when he reads to her. This is only normal because even though Scout learned so much she is still so young and has a lot more to learn in

Meet the Parents: Film as a Hidden Metaphor With today’s growing film industry, screenwriters and directors are working overtime to convey a strong message behind their films. As we turn to film and television, we can easily find a link between film and metaphor. This technique, often used by many film directors, is used to make comparisons between two or more concepts. Often times, directors wish to spark thought in their viewers, and force them to interpret the possible meaning of a particular movie. They must read between the lines and discover a deeper meaning other than what lies on the surface.
