As a kid a didn’t like to read much but when I did genres like Action/Adeventure, and Comedy always caught my eye they were always my favorite genre to read.Ā These genres always kept me entertained there was never a moment where I was tired of these genres. They also branched me out to things like video games and comic books and I never thought I would be into these things like how I am now.Ā The way I learned these genres is by keep reading books with these genres surrounding them also people I was close with gave me recommendations of books with these genres. The rhetorical features of these genres are that they always keep me on my feet wondering what’s going to happen next. The genre Action/Adventure always has something happening to keep the story going so it doesn’t become dull, the genre always makes it exciting to read. The genre comedy is by far my favorite because laughing is a like a medicine it can cure anything. This genre always makes me excited for what’s going to be said next by the character, just like Action/Adeventure this genre is never dull and that’s what I love about them. I think the genres Autobiography will give me the best information for Unit 2. I think an Autobiography will give me the best information for my research because I would like to hear from a person whose life has changed because of these films. I would like to know how they started loving films and then what these films have done for them.Ā I think reading someone else’s experience with films will complete my research or make it even better than it is. I don’t think there’s another genre that will help me out as much. Hopefully I get to find the best information in this genre

‘But on a brighter note, genres also help us to make more efficient decisions when writing, as we can see how people have approached similar situations. Creating a new genre each time that writing was
required would make the writing process much longer, as we would not have past responses to help us with present ones (Devitt, āGeneralizingā 576). As a result, the more you are able to master particular
genres, the better equipped you may be to master genres that you later encounter”. I like this quote because I never thought genres help us out as much as they do.
“Learning about genres and how they function is more important than mastering one particular genre; it is this knowledge that helps us to recognize and to determine appropriate responses to different situations”. I like this quote because it shows how important genres are and how they help us in different situations.
(24) How film transforms the way we see the world | Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy – YouTube
My research question is how do films impact people for the better? I personally feel like films can impact people in many different ways. I think films can make people a better person and even branch out to many different things that they never thought they would do before.Ā As I research this question, I found a YouTube video a women named Sharmen Obaid-Chinoy had a TED talk about how she documented violence against women in Pakistan. Her film was about honor killing, honor killings are when men punish women who transgress rules made by them It is much known as murder. She found a woman that miraculously survived being shot in the face, but there was a loophole in the law that allowed victims to forgive their perpetrators enabling them to avoid jail time. She kept fighting but she eventually forgave them. So, they used their film to change the way people perceived honor killings. The film went on to win an Academy Award. After months of campaigning, the loophole was finally closed but women were continuing to be killed.Ā They set little theaters for everyone in small villages to see the film so they can join the fray. They introduced them to films that opened up their minds to world views and also encouraging children to build critical thinking. In this YouTube video Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy states ” In another village where the screening was shut down, a plainclothes policeman got up and ordered it back on, telling everyone It was his duty to expose the young minds to an alternative worldview and to this content”. She also states ” In another town, where the men said that only they could watch, and the women had to stay home, a community elder got up, got a group of people together, had a discussion, and then both men and women sat down to watch it together. “.Ā In these quotes she is telling us how these film shave impacted the people of the small villages and want to do better and help others learn about this cruel world and what we could do to make it better. I love these quotes because it connects to my research question and show how these films make us better. Even as the writers of these movies these people are going out their way set up small theaters for people that aren’t able to go to see films. Films make us come together to fight the good fight.
