1663 Words | 7 Pages

By exploring both the positive and negative aspects of society and humanity, texts prompt audiences into gaining a deeper understanding of the perspectives of people that differ from their own. In the 2018 novel, Boy Swallows Universe and the 2000 film, Billy Elliot – by Trent Dalton and Stephen Daldry respectively – explore what it means to be a marginalised individual in a society that often prioritises the privileged class. Dalton condemns the oppressive and disempowering nature of their society whilst commending the moral growth of the protagonists as a result of the positive and negative experiences that befall them.

They wanted to see if they would gain witnesses or suspects and the theory was that multiple people were involved. It wasn't predictable and most likely was just a motive to mess with Knox's head to believe that she did had HIV. The Amanda Knox case became worldwide and it was extremely controversial on who did what. I think the documentary was made to clear up any confusion there still may be about it because viewers can see a bird's eye perspective of everything & note the small details or information that was never mentioned. There were reliable sources involved and there wasn't any twist from the media.

The Documentary The Hunting Ground By Kirby Dick

1344 Words | 6 Pages

This story is the backbone of the documentary, all other survivor experiences, and facts that are given branch off originally from the story of Annie and Andrea, a continuous story that is meant to connect to pathos. Annie and Andrea’s story is the main example of this tactic, the film begins with their story, then later tells parts of it at various times in the middle of the documentary and ends the entire production by revealing the end of their story. At first Annie and Andrea both share their stories of surviving sexual assault as well as their experiences of victim blaming (5:15-8:22), then goes on later in the film to talk about how they filed a Title 9 complaint against the school and the struggles they went through dealing with that (44:09-45:20), then shows the two girls listening to case after case of sexual assault, mapping them out on a map to show the size of the epidemic (52:27-57:41). Finally, the film is ended with how Annie and Andrea went across the country teaching survivors at different schools how to file a Title 9 complaint, ending on a hopeful note both figuratively and literally, since hopeful music was playing during this time (1:31:05-1:40:40). The purpose of showing Annie and Andrea’s story was to give a structured direction of the information given in the documentary and to give hope in a solution.
