oo oo yeah i'll join and help you with that! ;D
hah im thinkin about today in general.
Ive managed to knock up my attendance record (they hadnt checked the register so ive marked myself in the for the last 4 weeks, so im now not behind...).
i stayed right through the lesson and seminar for the first time since i started back...also got my results for an essay i did a couple of months back (got 52% on it, considerin the cleverest person in our group got 56%, am quite pleased)
Then i went out to the pub/club when i got home. Saw some mates i aint seen for months! Rar! And for the first time EVER i got asked for ID at the pub! heh i was well chuffed. i mean im what, 20 now? and when i was 15/16, going into the pub after college for some food and a couple fo drinks, i never got asked then...woooooo
i am now watching a live video of Soundgarden's Jesus Christ Pose and i stick by my words that Chris Cornell is the most beautiful man on the planet, both inside and out. He has such graceful and sleak moves the envy of every alpha wolf, and his voice filled with that beautiful and sensual anger... and its all entwined with a presence and persona beyond this world....*sighs*

Haven't they always sung trash?! When me and my Dad were in England, Westlife had just released "My Love", and we couldn't believe how much it was played. So, when I was in York, I bought a Ricky Martain CD that I liked ("She Bangs" - I don't care what anyone else says, I like Ricky Martain, he makes me wanna get up and dance ) and so whenever "My Love" came on the radio, we used to push the CD button in the car, and Ricky would come on, and it went exactly for the same amount of time!! So, we didn't miss any of the other songs! So now my Dad and I say that "She Bangs" is Westlife and whenever I play it, he pops his head around the door and says "Nice to hear a bit of that Westlife!" lmfao! My Dad's favourite song is Prisoner of Society by The Living End, and my Mum's is Song 2 by Blur... I think I'm having a bad effect on them! lol Peace, Rotae

3. The stereotype is both useful and oppressive. Using at least two of your own examples, discuss this statement with reference to Richard Dyer’s work on representation and stereotyping.

Oh my dishwashing liquid... I so did stereotypes for my Grade 10 English Independent Study!!! That's so freaky! Sorry, I can't write it for you, but you really should just do it. I'm exactly the same, I keep putting stuff off, and then once I get going I find it's not actually that bad and when you finish the releif is amazing! Please do it Dory Peace, Rotae

The definition of a stereotype is a set form; convention; standardised idea or concept.
So... hmm... the questions is, give examples of when stereotypes are good, and when they're bad...
Well, it's kinda obvious when they're bad. I mean, when they're used to judge people before you know them etc.
Good? Well, look at the movie Not Another Teen Movie, that used stereotypes in a good way, it showed them and by showing them, they slammed them saything 'these aren't good things to be' - so maybe, stereotypes have their good use for showing that stereotypes are bad... I dunno. I suppose that they can be good when it comes to setting down rules in schools and such. If the teachers say - 'Right, I'm going to expect this type of behaviour from these students' the most they can be is wrong right, but they might actually be right, and therefore can deal with the situation more competantly.
Sorry, I've just woken up. They're not very good... anyways... just do it (Nike...) lol.
Peace, Rotae
