My writing choice that illustrates my awareness of audience and voice is a series of posting from the movie discussions for “Lars and the Real Girl” titled “Unconditional.” The film was hard to watch emotionally for me because I relate to Lars in the sense that he is afraid of letting people get close to him for fear of them leaving him behind. Lars is so disconnected from people emotionally that while watching the film, I noticed that the only affection he shows is directed towards inanimate objects. Most obvious is his “girlfriend” Bianca, a life sized doll, who he creates a strong connection with that clearly can not love him back. Lars also has a strong connection to a blanket his deceased mother wrapped him in since he was an infant. This blanket can also clearly not love Lars in return. Although Lars shows intense fear for gaining closeness with his community, we clearly see that his ability to love is not in question.
These images of unconditional love in the film sparked my postings. My first post shows my awareness of audience and voice because I’m speaking directly to my other movie discussion people, I frame the concept of unconditional love through the examples in the movie and then I encourage conversation with a question.
The bolded parts are where I feel I expressed awareness of audience and voice.

Hillary-
ReplyDeleteYou e-portfolio was nicely done. I like the statement you had about the movie and how it impacted you. “The film was hard to watch emotionally for me because I relate to Lars in the sense that he is afraid of letting people get close to him for fear of them leaving him behind.”
Very nice,
