Textual Analysis Essay.

  1. Pretty good start Martin, strong writing style and a good analysis of the MICRO in WNTTAK

    Expand your scenes - the introduction to the characters is a key aspect to consider if you are discussing how it is a nature/nurture observation.

    Kevin as a baby who won;t stop screaming - the drilling and the pram and the relief on her face is worthy of analysis. Also expand to consider how the ATB boys respond to the Alien dropping in.

    Finally, the resolution of the film - the twist in WNTTAK and ATB - Moses is only 15 but has to 'man up' and becomes hero of the estate. How does he react to the drug dealer/gangster when he has them at gunpoint?

    Some key language to consider - "demonization of youth"

    And think about how our understanding of the representation comes from the context of the London Riots/Youth Knife Crime and in the U.S. the Columbine High School Shootings a few years ago.

    A very strong start however, well done L3 strong analysis - expand into other scenes and MICRO aspects (lighting, the long, awkward camera shots etc)
