give up on. * The doctors
A t this point im not certain what is going on, it appears to be a narrative broke up by little pieces of a weak argument. the argument isn't quite effective in using evidence to make whatever the claim is.
-
Horror films offer a fantasy space for women whose bodies betray them.

Ubud, sometime in late 2015: I’ve been stranded here a week or two, and the sky is an empty screen of snowy static. An active volcano teeters on the brink of explosion, spurting ash clouds like pre-cum, sullying the sharp blue skies and making it too dangerous to fly. At first, it’s like m
this paper doesn't really have a clear argument nor does it provide a roadmap or a thesis. we sort of begin in the middle of this authors life and then follow what appears to be a sequence of thoughts that compile an argument.

waiting for womanhood to spring forth.
arguing that there is power given to these images?

My eyes start glowing like a demon, which I later learn is the singular pain of lacerated eyeballs.

Horror impersonates the mundane
starts of with this very short and strong statement.
-
this is the one I find most consistent with the indigestible nature of racism: how soft it can be at first, but then how everywhere, and perhaps, how permanent.
this is a little spereate than the thesis so doesn;t fully conclude
-
His role as the stag has finally become literal.
good connection to previous idea.
-
At my former job, I felt this brand of exploitation every day after no investigation of the racist fridge message occurred
this goes into a Pathos appeal to show the everyday happenigns.
-
As a metaphor for the literal and cerebral captivity of black people in this country, Rankine locates her own version Sunken Place in the hypervisibility of the black body.
he relates the metaphors in the film to the realities and theories posed by other thinkers.

Claudia Rankine’s National Book Critics Circle award-winning book of poetry and criticism
This is to build ethos by turning to a credible source.

horror genre as it is to the horror of white spaces
THis is maintaining the previous bridge that has connected these two arbitrarily

Diction: but also used in a weird context or subject of this type.

I do not believe my experience to be more or less unique than the routine degradation black people endure and have always endured in predominantly white spaces. And because of this, I felt kinship with two central images in Jordan Peele’s directorial debut, Get Out.
Thesis: he maintains the parallel and how these real life horrors are represented in the movie.
-
Racism, like any successful horror story
I find this to be a very interesting way of phrasing this instead of building the links between he connects them as one in the same.

here was a real and preventive purpose to these stories: stay alive and watch out for the myriad of real world threats that haunt your every step.
This provides great evidence beyond it toughens kids. this argues that it teaches kids much about life and that these are stories with huge morals.
-
Plainly put, horror provides a playground in which kids can dance with their fears in a safe way that can teach them how to survive monsters and be powerful, too
This is a strong argument that makes the reader really accept the authors side. Who doesn't want kids to be able to face fears.
-
Who doesn’t walk out of a movie that just scared the pants off of them mercifully comforted by the mundane walk to through the parking lot and the world outside?
this reminds me of my experience wtaching IT.
-
Scary stories tell kids there’s always something worse, and in effect come across as more honest because they exist in a realm already familiar to them
This central argument is shown here. saying that kids need to accept the harshness of the world. that it doesn't affect kids negatively.
-
nd sharing and sunshine, that is was in fact a terrifying ordeal he felt
this goes back to the idea that horror genre is similar to a survival guide. a lesson for life.

here’s no one answer, but it’s certainly worth thinking about. Why do we love horror? We’ll have to keep watching to figure that out.

there is my staff to help you along.
This is a second point in the story that the older man is trying to pressure brown into using the staff.
-
beheld neither Goody Cloyse nor the serpentine staff
this is a big development in this staff. obviously after she cried the staff to be the devil this confirms the supernatural character of this object.
-
twisted staff
THese off gaurd descriptions of speech that are accompanied with the almost speaking of the staff maintains the fear of this wierd object as time progresses.
-
twist and wriggle
The author chooses this description of a serpent to give a since of brutality that almost resembles choking someone.
-
the young man
At this moment Brown is referred to as a young man that sort of makes us feel the fright and even inferiority to the aforementioned shadowed figure. this seeks to merely strike a little tinge of worry and anxiety.
-
"What if the devil himself should be at my very elbow!
This seems like a very natural reaction to fear where we tend to talk out loud to ourselves. I think by including this the author is placing us into the same mindset as the character.
-
that the traveller knows not who may be concealed
This reminds me of what we discussed in class as being a trope. We discussed the fact that certain events that put the character into unfamiliarity and ambiguity are ripe set ups for a horror story
-
felt himself justified in making more haste on his present evil purpose.
This is an interesting and dramatic switch. this also shows a compression of time because at this point everything seems to transform and become more malicious when just a few sentences ago he was bidding adue to his wife.

And then when men exert their ideas of morality on a female character — she must be pure and virginal — sometimes messages get muddled. But, again, these do not define the genre.
The author in the last paragraph concedes to some of the faults within the genre. i find this an interesting location to concede on the argument as she only saves herself a few more sentences to counter into these arguments. i think she places this point here in a manner to argue that there are far more benefits to horror than downfalls.
-
there’s a decent chance they’d be labeled “chick” movies.
This is an interesting analysis of the perspectives of our society. The author is essentially arguing that our society can only take the serious perspectives of a women when it is displayed in a horror film. I have to agree that women perspectives have been consistently misrepresented by other genres, especially those that fall under "chick flicks" they sort of devalue the argument.
-
Peele leads us to believe protagonist Chris will die a similar fate, but then circumvents that expectation; in a way, Peele is righting a wrong.
I never before saw these films as related but looking at it through this angle sheds light on the ending of get out and why the ending is so important. It's that oh crap moment when the cop pulls up and we are followed with relief knowing that its his friend from the TSA. its interesting to know that this had more political bearing.
-
So at a time when our country’s morals have strayed off course under the guidance of an immoral, autocratic ruler, the need for more and better horror seems critical.
What I find to be an interesting fact about this statement is that in light of the outcomes of 2016 I think we have seen an increase in satire and comedy shows, I believe a reason we have seen an increase in direct comedy as opposed to horror is the fact that everyone is no longer afraid to speak out. I think that Horror has its place but we should consider the bounds of freedom of speech.
