When reading literature we often attempt to use particular threads of thought or lenses of critique to gain entry into the implied historic or legendary nature of literature. To accurately process a tale in the light in which it is presented, we have to consider the text from multiple viewpoints. We must take into consideration intentional and affective fallacies and the socioeconomic circumstances of the presenter/author/narrator. We also have to consider how our personal experience creates bias by placing the elements of the story into the web of relationships that we use to interpret the external world. There also is the need to factor in other external pressures, from societal norms, cultural ideals, and psychological themes, and how
Holden is in a cab on his way to Ernie’s and after he asks the driver with Holden. When Holden asks why he is “sore” about it, the cab driver denies being upset. Holden seems to constantly anger people throughout the story due to his blunt way of addressing topics and his inability to see the positive side of things. The cab driver on the other hand, is clearly upset, but is instead choosing to be passive aggressive by denying his anger. I do not like when people are passive aggressive. I would much rather someone talk to me directly and maturely if they are upset.

In the opening of the film “The Killer at Thurston High”, the narrator claims that Kipland Kinkel’s life was “nothing remarkable” (Kirk, M. PBS Video.) After viewing the film and considering this claim, I will admit I am bothered by it. The film itself is a documentary of a large school shooting, which is anything but unremarkable. In addition, the events and description of Kip’s life within the video completely contradict this statement. Kip Kinkel’s life is filled with family, educational, and bullying issues. In fact, he failed at nearly everything he attempted to do.

Using media, such as music, can help make the story relevant towards the reader, and also help guide the author in his or her particular direction.

Terry “At Home with Rapper’s Delight” use a popular song as a platform to create a captivating short fictional story, they choose different elements of those songs to build it. In “I Shot the Sheriff” the story uses the lyrics of a song, and in “At Home with Rapper’s Delight” the story uses the history surrounding the song.

The Man I Killed is the story of the man that Tim O’Brien killed. However, this story is not true. He later mentions that he did not in fact kill the man, yet he was present and that was enough.

This story is told from O’Brien’s point of view, which would be first person, despite the fact that the word “I” is
The game I have chosen for my critical analysis is Red Dead Redemption. Red Dead Redemption was made, published, and engineered by a company called Rockstar Games (Rockstar Website). The major distributor of the game is a company who happens to own Rockstar, Take-Two interactive. Being one of the most successful video game developers to date, Rockstar is famous for creating the popular and controversial game series Grand Theft Auto. Rockstar differs very much from other video game developers because they are one of few who have grown and experienced the advancement of video games in
