Blog Buddy Summary with Raj

Blog Buddies- My Class
Blog Buddy- Dilraj
A short summary of each study
Diraj’s study is about ‘to what extent are women to be seen inferior by male dominance today?’
Areas of overlap between each study (texts, topics, issues, debates)
Although my study is about genre and his is about representation, both our texts overlaps in that Diraj’s topic of female power relates to my wider context of my film. In Shrek, Fiona is shown to be strong, intelligent and independent.
What you've each learned from looking at each other's study that might be useful
From Diraj’s blog I feel that his information about female power will help me a lot when it comes to writing about my wider context in my independent study.

Blog Buddy- Athar
A short summary of Athar's study:
Athar's study is about 'How has the hospital genre been subverted to have a comic effect, with particular reference to 'Scrubs'?
Areas of overlap between each study:
Our studies are common in that we are both covering the aspect of genre and so we will be looking at similar things such as theorist. In addition, both our text contains comedy.
What you've each learned from looking at each other's study that might be useful:
Looking at Athar's work what might be useful is the idea of hybrid genre and how that is in text. Also Athar's wider context involves female representation as sex objects whilst I also discuss in my wider context female representation however mine view is how the female's are stronger in society and how they are more equal to men, so in a way its a mini debate right there.
