Theresa May being mocked


It is clear whether a paper is speaking positively or negatively about a politician by the picture they use, this is why when the Daily Mirror use this picture of Theresa May it can't be anything good. Also from using a picture like this its hard for people who support her to take her seriously, this makes people find it hard to support her and vote for her because of the images used, it is called satire when a newspaper mocks a politician, different newspapers use satire so how there readers who they support but also to try and show people who do support the politician being mocked. The picture linked with the title makes it clear that the newspaper will be bias against her, 'Lies, damned lies and Theresa May', this headline will stand out to people walking past because it so clear and honest, there isn't any puns or jokes it saying it how it is. Van Zoonen's theory can be applied to this as she talks about patriarchy and how newspapers portray woman, she also mentions how newspapers oppress and dominate women, this is shown from the two newspaper covers from the Daily Mirror both show pictures of Theresa May, but the pictures they use are mocking her so it puts people off supporting her.

Media Language and Representation: Unseen Advertisement

Analyse how the poster advertisement (Source A) has created meaning through the use of Media Language in this source by comparing it to the Shelter advertising campaign. Amnesty use a hand to cut the barbed wire instead of scissors of wire cutters is because it shows peace, this also links with the fact that the hand is in the peace sign showing how they do peaceful protests. The barbed wire represents how people are taking away peoples human rights, for example, some people are forced into a life of slavery meaning their human rights are being taken away, so Amnesty are showing how they fight this with peace and cut the wire restricting people from their human rights. Shelter follows similar colours by using the red but also black. Both this charities are very different so take different approaches, as seen Amnesty doesn't use actors as they don't take a picture, it is drawn but still has a deeper meaning. She...

Stranger Things- Character Representation

Questions: Minor or major character do they conform to any stereotypes what are their characteristics what is their contribution to the narrative   Joyce Byers: major he conforms to the stereotype of a mother as she works long hours to provide for her two sons, also when Will go missing she does everything and anything she can to try to find him. adult, mother, white, single parent her contribution to the narrative is being the worried mother who is doing all in her power to find Will and make sure he is safe, just in the first episode you can tell how worried she is even though Will hasn't been missing for that long Will Byers major just looking at the first episode its hard to get a good look into Will's character as he gets taken about 10 minutes in, but from looking at the bits he's in and hearing his personality from his mum and brother he does seem like a stereotypical teenager as he is seen playing board games with his mates and listening to popul...

Stereotypes

Gender : stereotypes for gender are mainly based from the older times, men are meant to go to work and get money in for the family while the women stays are home looking after the kids, cooking and cleaning, these stereotypes aren't seen or thought of any more as women and just as work active as any man, so these stereotypes don't work for this time. Social Class : this is another stereotype that doesn't relate to the present day but there is still clear lines between the rich and the poor. The different social classes are lower class, middle class and upper class, the lower class or also known as the working class do all the hard labour and are usually considered to work for the upper classes, the middle classes also do work but its not as long or as hard, they could be doctors or police or something like that, the upper classes usually own the factories that provide work for the lower classes. It doesn't work like that now but it does still happen as ri...
