So any thing that would allow him to shed that image, for example, sexuality, would help him shed predetermined stereotypes. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25275?scroll_to=331219 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25275?scroll_to=331219 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:53 -0500 This film helps him showcase an auto biographical moment about his journey to becoming a healthier person. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30608?scroll_to=326420 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30608?scroll_to=326420 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:47:04 -0500 Also, the summation towards the end of the piece lets you know that Ebert had his own struggle with diet and nutrition. However, it is an individual's responsibility to be accountable for what they eat. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30608?scroll_to=326155 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30608?scroll_to=326155 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:45 -0500 The piece is filled with statistics to show the comparisons And staggering contrasts in a regular diet versus Spurlocks McDonald intake. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30608?scroll_to=326154 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30608?scroll_to=326154 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:45 -0500 I believe he did not want to attack him because it was his first work, it was raw in nature and talent. Although the scenes were set up, the moment he began filming it, it not longer included himself. His future projects showcased his progression as a https://nowcomment.com/documents/30240?scroll_to=323459 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30240?scroll_to=323459 Filmmaker. But it didn't have a subject as powerful or as raw as Nanook and the Inuit people. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:42 -0500 It's like an epic novel. The traveler over comes some natural hardship. However, in the end he must die as well after also killing. Like previously mentioned, a circle of life so to speak. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30240?scroll_to=323456 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30240?scroll_to=323456 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:43 -0500 The time frame and rules of shooting documentaries were different. Personally involving yourself in a documentary wasn't seen as taboo then. Present day, by inducting yourself in a particular situation may alter the reality of the documentary. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30240?scroll_to=323455 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30240?scroll_to=323455 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:42 -0500 It would imply that the story isn't as astonishing as previously mentioned. If the seal was merely shot versus an actual physical struggle, the story doesn't seem that extraordinary. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30240?scroll_to=323454 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30240?scroll_to=323454 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:41 -0500 It editorializes the situation. Peter Porter is a trusted source because of his relation to both the subject and Hughes. So the idea of Hughes leaving Plath because of talent seems like a credible comment coming from someone in the same industry. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=321705 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=321705 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:35 -0500 One would like to assume this would be her turning point, but I took it as that rising moment in someone's biopic, right before they lose it all. It reminds me of a catharsis right before a death in any classic epic. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=321702 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=321702 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:35 -0500 The quotations act as a way to bring the reader into the subject personally. They act as a means to introduce the reader to Plath's personal choice of words, and how she saw things as her marriage ended. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=321700 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=321700 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:35 -0500 Testimonies bring stories into a realistic realm. That there were other people truly involved and affected by the events, not just the subject herself. Not only her point of view, but her husband's as well so the reader can understand the conflict. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=321699 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=321699 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:35 -0500 This background explains the contention in Sylvia Plath's life. That the public display of amicable husband and wife is a juxtaposed to the reality they live every day. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=321698 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=321698 Can be a foreshadowing of how Sylvia carried on as if things were okay, but was unraveling on the inside before her suicide. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:35 -0500 It also builds tension as I am reading it. As if there is background music and each "her" raises the music and octave higher. Like in classical music, a build up, then it flatlines. Resorting back to her words. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=321697 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=321697 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:34 -0500 I think it was important to the author to put an american Euphemism at the end of the diary. It ties his current emotion with coming back to America. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=317317 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=317317 The entire time in London he was consistently missing the mark with how to adapt to the British customs, going along with a sort of "when in Rome" attitude. However, he is home, and although he expected probably a short conversation with the customs guy, he clearly still got more out of the interaction than he expected, the irony, "Go figure." Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:28 -0500 It's basically like a 'come on!' moment. The author clearly feels the practices of the library are tedious and unnecessary https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=317313 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=317313 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:28 -0500 The things they we may take for granted, like chewing gum for instance, does not come across as rude to us, however, it was clearly taboo in London. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=317310 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=317310 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:28 -0500 the paragraph is clearly a setup for the writer's personal anecdote about his experiences as an american in London. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=317309 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=317309 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:28 -0500 how relaxed and personal the tone of the writing is https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=317306 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=317306 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:27 -0500 This paragraph indicates that if Jill's biography isn't written to Michael's liking they may potential go through the same thing with bad blood or some form of resentment. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30636?scroll_to=313794 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30636?scroll_to=313794 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:17 -0500 the biographer is half the story because he is the story teller, Although he may not be the subject, he was chosen to depict the narrative. Therefore, one should be mindful of the biographer's biases for or against certain things. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30636?scroll_to=313792 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30636?scroll_to=313792 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:17 -0500 it is encouragment but also a way for Michael to escape from discussing harder topics that might be sensitive for him. Especially dealing with relationships with his late wife Jill https://nowcomment.com/documents/30636?scroll_to=313791 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30636?scroll_to=313791 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:17 -0500 I think it makes harder for the biographer to try to tell a story with a sequence. It becomes difficult to determine what is significant versus what is just being mentioned. Furthermore, it leaves certain key stories half finished. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30636?scroll_to=313790 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30636?scroll_to=313790 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:17 -0500
