The point of the How to become Batman simply speaks on how
our expectations affect people around us. It can either be in in a positive or
negative aspect but the podcast really didn’t touch too much on anything
negative. Also the podcast speaks on how our expectations influence people as
well in positive ways to do better in life or become a better person. The point
with the second podcast really is a blur to me as I was listening to the first
twenty minutes of the podcast. From my understanding of the podcast it was
saying it was okay to be ignorant in some aspects. As crazy as it sounds crazy
this was my own personal understanding of the Summer Camp podcast. In the first
podcast How to become Batman the journalist talk more than the subjects being
interviewed. The journalist seems to introduce the subjects and their situation
of why they are being interviewed. The journalist explains each subject’s
situation and elaborate and talk about the subject and then they bring in the
subject in the interview and talk about everything. I loved how the journalist
introduce each subject and speak about them in a respectful tone of voice. Now
in the second podcast Summer Camp it’s really combination of both the
journalist and the young campers speaking on the subject at hand. Once again I
really have no clue on what is the true point about this podcast. Well in the
first podcast How to become Batman the title itself has some connection just
because of the title it self. Batman is my favorite superhero just because of his
stealth attacks upon his enemies so I just love the character of batman. So
with that being said the title itself influences to write about something such
as a child hood memory since Batman is my favorite superhero. I cannot feel
drawn to the second podcast because I cannot get my finger around the meaning
of the whole point and significance of Summer Camp podcast. To be honest with
you I really don’t know how the both these wonderful podcasts are set up in
organization. I just listen to the flow of the podcasts and try to get see past
the basic of each podcast and listen for symbolic messages within each
podcasts. The only idea from the podcasts that I have is to either write or
talk about something special from my childhood memory.
Since both
podcasts reflect on something from my childhood from a superhero to evil bad
guys. The podcasts have an eye opening on how fast I have grown up. Time truly
flies when you are busy and growing up trying to find your true self in life.
The first podcast talks about people are something like Batman. Like I already
said Batman is that guy when it comes to being a superhero. The second podcast
talks about childhood monsters, which also have a significant role in my
childhood memories. The nights I watched scary movies and would be scared
pissing my pants at night from the thoughts of the evil from the movie. I truly
enjoyed that part of my childhood because it made me grow into a liking of
scary movies and now I just love to watch them. So both of these podcast have
taken me back to memories that I can’t physically get back but just the thought
process of the great times I had as a young boy. God I truly do miss the time
as a young child that had noting to worry about but going to school getting
good grades and playing sports.
The summer camp podcast was really about how different types of groups of people come together at a camp. it describes how they interact with each other and how this camp has changed them so much in their life at home and life at camp. they talked about how much they changed because you can be whoever you want to be at this camp. as for the batman podcast, i agree with you. A lot of it is about how to adapt to what life throws at you. The organization of the podcast is really involved around some observing of the person and then interviewing. They do a really good job of intertwining and not just doing one part at a time.
ReplyDeleteDJ,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you noticed how the two podcasts differed in the role the journalist serves. The idea, though, behind these "readings" is to look at them closely and try to figure out what they are really about and how they are examples of the kind of writing the assignment asks your to do.
So, what are you thinking about doing in terms of your second project?
