Section C Discussion

[AmericanBeauty]

Yeah I talked about the courage inspired in readers by poor little Columbus braving the stormy seas in his wooden caravel (don't even know if it was a caravel though) and then the parallel drawn between that and space exploration by the fact that both images had a huge moon in the background

in all the movies I've seen, it is always a sun that is set off in the distance, never a moon I know you can argue that it is circle but if you put on sunglasses or look through something transparent that blocks UV lights, the sun is also circle and the photo is black and white!

AHH. I just didn't recognise there was a giant moon Did you enjoy the article? I feel like people who knitpicked the little things are more space tolerant WOO FOR SPACE.

Yeah I said it was a sun rather than moon. Can't believe that I ruined all my hard work...

[roger_that14]

it's better than not mentioning the first image at all haha

I kid you not, I had the same thought when I was deciding what the"celestial object" actually was... So I decided not to sound opinionated/biased by not analysing it

Wait, are you saying that that one thing ruined all your hard work?!? No way José

[metalfingers]

oh i think i called it a sun too, then wrote something about it symbolising 'sailing towards a brighter/better future' - the sun representing 'hope' and all that jazz

Hey guys,

Can anyone please mention any contrasting points they made throughout their LA? I'm really worried that i spent the majority of the time on it but messed it up anyway haha 

Cheers

contrasting between the two articles?

[Addzkebabs]

Yeap!!

Almost the same thing I said.

[AmericanBeauty]

Yeap!! 

Well the first article wanted money to spend on space exploration for the 'beautiful blue planet.' I used this quote as a cue as the Doctor said for this 'precious blue planet' or something along those lines. That was basically the only comparison. With the Dcotor because he wrote that in response to Yvette, I was just going on about how he condemns the expenditure for space exploration when we have 'real issues' like diseases and the environment, allowing the audience to decide what issue is more important to them.

I wrote it better but yeah, thats really all the comparison I did, it wasn't really comparing you just had to analyse, but quite naturally i compared in linking the two.

Well for a start, I didn't analyse the titles of either because I thought they were as boring as hell and I had nothing to say about them.

For the first image, I linked it to Columbus exploring into the unknown and the unforeseen risks (i.e. the waves crashing up against the side of the boat) and the second image I discussed in light of the many potential benefits of space exploration. I said the second image was like a mind map- it stemmed from space exploration, but it also suggested that the benefits of space exploration were wide and varied, thus helping develop technologies that could assist many people in the community.

Now whenever (and if) I meet another person called Yvette, I will not be able to see them in the same way. I'll be thinking, "oh so you're the one that screwed us over in our English exam", haha.

I'm just so glad it's over tbh.

[Jono_CP]

Sun or moon or both?

[brenden]

Don't stress on Sun/Moon guys. To tell the truth, I wrote a comment before saying that the image could reinforce the sense of adventure within the article bla bla, with the cloudless sky and big sun potentially evoking feelings of joy and jazz like that. Then someone commented before me like "dat moon" so I was like "lol better just delete this before I look like a spaz". -- Whatever you said, I think it should be fine so long as it demonstrates your ability to analyse visual language.

first title I analysed, i thought it was really good to analyse. second i didn't even see a title.
