Blog Buddy Meeting #1

During our meeting, me and my blog buddy 'Lamia' decided to look into Youth, Violence and Pride for our research as well as 'masculinity' for our research...

1.) Youth Subculture-> We chose youth because the age group that we are both studying are predominately young and both in a stage of 'coming-of-age'. We also think that youth is useful to look into as it will help us explore the various stereotypes that come with being a young male from diverse backgrounds.

2.) Pride -> We also found that youth links into 'Pride' as this is something young males begin to idolize when they are in the transition of becoming men and in both our texts 'pride' is an ongoing theme within the youths. It is also usualy at the root of the violence and by exploring this we can understand how this relates to real life.

3.) Violence (Action: Genre) -> We then decided that we should also look into 'violence' because this is something that our movies both incorporate and involve. All three of these subjects connect to both our texts and we think that it will be very useful for us to look into these to help us in our study.
