Many of the stereotypes we read about this week were painfully obvious in the two episodes which I viewed. The opening scene of the first episode, "Horizontal Hold," shows Carrie discovering a cock roach in the kitchen and screaming for her husband to come deal with it, implying that this professional career woman needs a man to protect her from an insect. Despite this apparent stereotypical dependency on her man (Planned Parenthood), Carrie is herself, in fact, the half of the relationship to perform all other responsibilities, including everything from grocery replenishment to on-demand sexual favors. Carrie is also the more intelligent of the pair, and the only one concerned that there is a lack of communication in their relationship. In fact in the second episode that I viewed "Knee Jerk," produced six years after "Horizontal Hold," Carrie continues to complain to her husband that they never talk and have substituted communication for sex.
It was very effective and cheap to make. The Viking Axe: The Viking axe was a very dangerous weapon. Typically used as a one handed weapon with a shield but the Vikings also had two handed axes, these could cut right through armour. But even if the one handed axe didn't cut through the armour it would still give blunt damage. The Viking Sword: Only the greatest of warriors would have had a sword.
Her collection was very cherished, not only by herself, but the people around her; since it was a very delicate collection. Hotels were known to change the locks on her room to provide better security for her chips. Producers of a television show insured her chips for one million dollars! Ripley’s believe it or not, a popular TV show, offered to preserve myrtles chips and put them in display units if she would happen to see deterioration on any of her chips. Myrtle has a very rare Collection.

SF is a homemaker, and has been for 20 years, but enjoys attending a gym for exercise, getting out to the book club, and shopping. She is 40 years old, born in New Jersey and is trim, but expressed concerns several times over her weight. She is primary caregiver to daughter HF and stated she is overwhelmed by the care she needs to coordinate for HF, brain-injured in a car accident that HF’s sister, EF was responsible for. SF was tearful several times in talking about her life. HF is 17 years old, born in Lancaster, and a year ago was injured in a car accident, sustaining head injuries which left her partially paralyzed and blind in the right eye.
It's only two thousand dollars” (20). This quote is important because Mildred is so into her TV because she can’t read that she wants a fourth one installed for two thousand dollars. Another example of people liking technology more than books is Mildred is saying that the TV (the family) makes her laugh. “My ‘family’ is people. They tell me things: I laugh they laugh!
Alice is upstairs in her bedroom getting ready for her day as a professor on Harvard University’s campus. She is distracted by the sound of her husband John downstairs fumbling about looking for his keys. Alice goes downstairs and sees the keys immediately next to a bowl on the counter. What is quite interesting about this scene is the thought that crosses her mind after finding the keys. Alice thinks to herself, “How could he, someone so smart, a scientist, not see what was right in front of him?” (Genova, 2007, p. 4) Alice a woman not yet diagnosed with Early-Onset Alzheimer’s questions something so small, and at the time so apparent to her, and she cannot understand why a man so smart cannot accomplish something so miniscule.

The film is about twins who could not be more apart, David who is the geeky protagonist who has and an obsession with a black and white 1950s sitcom ‘Pleasantville’ while his sister Jennifer, the popular sibling who has a more debauched lifestyle.During a fight between the pair they break the TV remote, an unusual TV repairman appears and gives them a remote that transports them to Pleasantville, the town David's favourite show is based in.The scene I am analysing is David and Jennifer in school hanging out with their different cliques, David eats lunch with his best friend while they discuss about the all-night Pleasantville marathon meanwhile Jennifer is outside lighting a cigarette with her friends going to invite a guy over for the night. The four film techniques I chose
If so, we can all agree that the world would be a better place without them. Like me, I’m sure that most of you all watch a fair amount of television. But doesn’t it anger you that, just because we choose to watch a variety of entertaining programmes on ITV and Channel 4, we are victims of tacky advertisements and catchphrases every ten minutes when it’s time for the commercial break?! I find it particularly frustrating when watching a film. Imagine: you’re sitting at home watching Titanic on ITV, when Kate Winslet whispers her last words to Leonardo – ‘I will never let go’, and releases his frozen corpse into the depths of the Atlantic.
Have you ever just wanted to come home after a long day of work and kick off your shoes and grab you some ice cream and flick through the channels and began watching an episode of CSI Miami, and wondered to yourself if the things that the forensic pathologist does is real or fabricated a lot for viewers like ourselves? Well as you began to read along you will find out the real from the fake and what all does a forensic pathologist really does, as well as what it takes to become one. Of course 99% of television is fabricated this is how they keep their ratings up and capture viewers attention. You will learn the ins and outs of how a forensic pathologist has really more than one obligation and how important they are to the law enforcement and their investigation. Forensic Pathology as a whole is a part of everyday life and this you will see because more than 10% of people die a day resulting to homicide deaths.
