Class: Language and Representation blog tasks


Language and close-textual analysis
Co-owner of a Lonely Heart

1) How is CLASS a hybrid (mix) of teenage drama and Science Fiction genre?

It is obviously a teen drama because the characters are all normal and that they do all normal things like going to school and gossip and the narrative features issues such as arguing with parents and that people having high school relationship.It is obviously science fiction genre because there are props such as futuristic guns and swords and the TARDIS. There are settings such as when Corakinus comes into the school through a portal and when April goes into the portal to fight Corakinus with Ram following April.  There are characters such as Corakinus who is the villain and who wants to take over Earth and Charlie and Miss Quill who are the hero's who want to save planet Earth but Miss Quill is not all heroic because she is being controlled by an alien in her mind because of Charlie putting it in there and she is more like the reluctant bodyguard because most of her actions are not by her own free will.

Introduction to Magazine cover

  1) List the  three  most important magazine cover conventions in your opinion and explain  why  for each one. I think the sans and serif.The reason why I do think that the sans and serif is one of the most important magazine cover conventions is because of the quality of the writing (title) on the magazine.Because for sans it is just in capital letters that just curves in the sides which means it is not that good.But for serif it shows that it is better because at the end of almost every letter there is like a horizontal line sticking out of the edge of the letters which means it is more expensive than the rest.Another important magazine cover convention is the way they represent the title.The reason why I say title is because if the title sound's good and catchy people would buy it to read what it is about.Lastly,I think which is the most important magazine cover conventions is the central image.The reason why i said central image is because if you are buying...
