Final Blog Entry :'(


This semester I experienced the biggest shock. I came into the ENG102 class thinking that it would consist of long boring books, and having to write massive essays. Thankfully it was very fun. I not only enjoyed the multimedia aspect of it but I have learned a lot of new things. I have learned how to use blogs, videos, and find valid research. My favorite blog series was the Coraline series. The reason I liked it so much was because it was broken down to many parts. The professor wanted specific things so when reading you already knew what exactly you were looking for. I also learned about detail literature information and how it relates to real life personalities, like the archetypes. The archetypes were very interesting assignments it made writing about it so relatable and enjoyable. The professor was never in a bad mood, which helped me so much since I have never been so involved with computers. He was always was available for advice and questions and that was a great attribute.

The most interesting blog entry in this class has to be from one of my group member’s named Thibault. His blog entry was very original. He made a video explaining his supernatural being that was some kind of wolf/monster who killed many people. His video was very comedic and very informative. Also he had drawings, speech, and the actual research all put in the video. He also explained the myths. If I were as computer savvy, I would’ve loved to make a video. Due to the final assignment I learned how to use PowerPoint for the first time. I’m a fine arts major and never needed to use that until this assignment. Now I feel more comfortable with the software and computers in general. Its all because of ENG102 so I owe a big thanks to this specific class/professor for that.

Post 4.2 "The Rocky Horrow Picture Show" Finale

“The Rocky Horror Picture Show”

The musical numbers are in the sequence shown in the film. I will explain the situation that is going on in that part of the film. This film had a lot of controversy when it came time for its release. This had to be the most risque type of film that was produced in the 70's. This film featured many things that were not being spoken about in broad daylight. Its what people would say to not be a "topic to bring up at the dinner table". This film pushed the envelope. The film speaks about many hidden things like homosexuality, trans-sexuality, man creating man, aliens, etc. These things seems like it was the underground fads of the time that no one dared to speak about. Look below for "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" musical numbers.

This is the beginning of the peculiar night when the two "squares" are noticing that they out of their element. They came in on a very special night and witness a very peculiar but popular dance, well its a dance that only the invited guests know how to do, hence Janet and Brad are completely perplexed.

This is when Dr. Frank-N-Furter introduces himself to Janet and Brad. He performs a musical number explaining that he is a transvestite and they should not be alarmed because he will assist them to what they need, but first they should stay and watch him unveil his newest creation.

4.1 Updated Progress

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

I am at the point that I am struggling a tad bit because I am trying my best not to put the reader to sleep. I want to make this as interesting as possible. So far I have done a lot of research on the history of the film, and play. Since I am only focusing on the film its more dedicated to the visuals and story telling within the film. I am about done with the researching element. I am now rounding all the information and putting bits and pieces together. Next I am going to incorporate the monomyth, archetypes, hero's journey, themes, symbolism, and my interpretation of the film. Sounds like a lot? yeah I am debating if I should eliminate some stuff from the paper. If you have any suggestions feel free to express yourself. Below I have attached a preview of the film that was in circulation prior to the release of the film. I am attaching this to give you a feel of the eerie, naughty, innovation that this film expressed.
