Denton Visual Communications: Jour 300 Final Assignment A Compare and Contrast of a Depiction of Health in American Media             Originally when first assigned this assignment, I had no idea as to what two images I was going to compare and contrast. It was as a result of my brief meeting with ... http://jacquelined.wordpress.com/2008/05/08/final-assignment/ Well, being that is Friday and the "That's Questionable" was due on Thursday, I am going to do this weeks "That's Questionable" on my confusion of this assignment. In the class blog, it read that our "last blog assignment" was the one comparing CNN and Al Jazeera journalism. So with ... http://jacquelined.wordpress.com/2008/05/02/thats-questionable-5/     Can you guess which image came from which media source? I decided to analyze visual images of the U.S. Election in both CNN and Al Jazeera. The CNN article can be found at:http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/04/23/democrats.race/index.html#cnnSTCText The Al Jazeera article can be found at:http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/9DABF8A0-8F5A-45E0-BD17-84888599344F.htm Both of them discuss Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the dynamics of her ... http://jacquelined.wordpress.com/2008/04/28/cnn-vs-al-jazeera-journalism/ I was unable to make it class last week (the first one I ever missed, I promise! ;) ) and so the assignment about the "evil other" is completely new to me since I was not there to hear the discussion that I am sure took place during class. I ... http://jacquelined.wordpress.com/2008/04/24/thats-questionable-424/ The picture I chose comes from the legendary, horror film, The Exorcist.  In fact, this Academy Award winning film is popularly known and referred to as "The Scariest Film Ever Made." This picture shows the classic scene in which the possessed little girl does a 360-degree head twist. In the movie, she ... http://jacquelined.wordpress.com/2008/04/23/the-evil-other-the-demon-from-the-exorcist/ I am a little confused at where the Arab Woman Feminity assignment is going. In the assignment it asks us to analyze their interpretation without stereotyping. Is that possible? I have been looking at my peers' blogs and I find us all seem to be making our best effort, however, ... http://jacquelined.wordpress.com/2008/04/17/thats-questionable-4/   To the left is an Arab woman and to the right is an American woman. I am sure I am not the only one that can see the obvious differences in 'feminity' in each of their cultures... I found the picture of the Arab woman on a website entitled "Arab Woman Today." ... http://jacquelined.wordpress.com/2008/04/16/arab-women-assignment/ In class we watched clips of The Exorcist. Someone commented on how every scene was completely thought out to mean something. I wonder if that statement is entirely correct. I can recall the one scene that we watched where the butler and small boy are sitting at a table. The ... http://jacquelined.wordpress.com/2008/04/11/thats-questionable-3/ For my scene analysis I chose to review The Sixth Sense. I thought this was a perfect choice for this assignment mainly because I can still remember being fascinated by the symbolism in the movie the first time that I saw it. This was the first movie that I had ... http://jacquelined.wordpress.com/2008/04/09/the-sixth-sense-i-see-dead-people/ I know we discussed this topic in class, but the more and more I think about it, I still disagree. Let me start from the beginning, Lester said that every visual image has a historical background "story" to it. In Dylan's blog, he pointed out that there would be no ... http://jacquelined.wordpress.com/2008/03/14/thats-questionable/
