Analysis of Hollyoaks Title Sequence At the beginning of the programme, before the title sequence rolls in, there is already the first difference from many soap operas on commercial television. Whereas the likes of Coronation Street and Emmerdale and others on commercial based television, Hollyoaks does not have a sponsor, instead it has a now and next screen, and has a voice over of a slight summary of one of the storylines that happens. I believe that this could be done to encourage people

Some of his best sellers comprise the “The Shinning” (1977), “Salem Lost” (1975), “Carrie” (1974), and “Dead Zone” (1979).

The Dumbing Down of American Fiction The 1976 film "Network" is an acerbic satire of television's single-minded obsession with mass ratings.One of the film's main characters, Howard Beale, is called the "Mad Prophet of the Airways," and his weekly harangues produce a "ratings motherlode"--yet he constantly admonishes his viewers to "Turn the damn tube off!"During one such rant Beale berates his audience as functional illiterates: "Less than three percent of you even read books!" he shouts messianically--and
first-person narrative story of Arnold Spirit Jr., a 14-year-old Native American teenager, and the events in his life about pursuing his dreams. This book is a semi-autobiographical novel and it has won the 2007 U.S. National Book Award for Young People's Literature and the Odyssey Award as best 2008 audiobook for young people. The language in this book is simple, humorous and spontaneous, however, tragedies have played a more important part than comedies. The famous novelist C. S. Lewis once said:
The intention of this paper is to focus on the inevitability of change during adaptation, from fiction to film, which is essential and unavoidable, mandated both by the constraints of time and medium, with the example of Triveni’s Sharapanjara.

Secondly, the cover seems to be a bunch of pieces of abstract art put together, which also didn't really appeal to me. However, at the very top it says, "author of the National Book Award winner Dancing on the Edge." This was the tiebreaker between the books I had picked out to choose from. I figured if she has won a national book award that this book has to be somewhat decent, and thus my journey began. When I first started reading the book I wasn't quite sure what to expect. It showed a functional
radical or out of control. I have to disagree and consider her as a writer with controlled thoughts who refuses to be defined by what society says is politically correct. This is shown in part of her statement when she accepts the national book award. “We together accept this award in the name of all women whose voices have gone and still go unheard in a patriarchal world, and in the name of those who, like us, have been tolerated as token women in this culture, often at great cost and in great pain.

On the surface, the two of them seem very different however when one looks below the surface they are very similar.

For the last two weeks, I have partaken of a book not on the reading list submitted back in July: Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior.
