30 Rock

A)   A)  This episode of 30 Rock is a good example of how prejudice often is somewhere in everyone’s subconscious, even though you’re like Liz Lemon, who is convinced that she is the least prejudiced and most anti-racist person in the world, somehow the media and people around you makes people skeptical towards some ethnicities.

B)    B)  I think using humor is a good way to approach sensitive topics, because it makes people aware of how ignorant they act when reacting the way they might. By watching this episode of 30 Rock, I think a lot of people get embarrassed by seeing how Liz handles the situation based on something she has got all figured out in her mind, without even a little bit of facts. By using humor I believe that people will see how normal but at the same time stupid it is to have these kind of prejudices. On the other hand I don’t think using humor is a good way to approach all sensitive topics. Some topics are just not to be made fun of. For example, I saw this image on Facebook a couple of days ago, with the text “Like planking, but funnier.”

  

When I saw this picture I was really shocked that so many people would like and share this picture, thinking it was funny, when it’s really a tragic story which enlightens a really serious problem we’ve had among us for ages. 

How the book would be different if it had been written in a different point of view

The book would be very different if it had been written in a different point of view, because the authors twist with the main character suffering from autism makes the book a little more interesting and educational. We get to get inside the head of a child with autism, and this might give the reader some understanding for people with this condition.
I think the book was interesting and exciting at times, although after some pages the author lost my attention. I kept reading and reading without really perceiving what was written. This is because of the constant side-tracks with detailed descriptions of Christophers thoughts about every little thing that crosses his mind. I understand that this is necessary to stress the fact that Christopher suffers from autism, but it’s really a risky thing to include in the book because it can cause the reader losing interest.
Though if the book was written from a “normal” persons point of view, it would be completely different and perhaps just one of many other novels with an average plot, so the autism-part is what separates the book from any other novel. Every happening in the book revolves around the fact that Christopher has this condition. An example of this is that if the story was about a “normal” boy, the father might have mentioned that Christopher mother left them, instead of telling him she was dead. The story would have been completely different. 

lyrikk

Eg veit korleis du ser ut utan nokre kleder
kan det vere derfor du blei utilpass
du kan klippe deg og skaffa deg ei anna jente
men når du strippar og tar av deg kleda er det same greia

eg vil aldri gløyme dine hemmelegheiter
det du er reddast for men ingen veit det
og sjølv om du trur du lykkast veit i alle fall eg

og du prøvar og halde maska
så du kan sveve over jorda
klart kan du le og late som ingenting
men eg veit alt om deg, for du har vore min
du er nokon andre no
men når du strippar og tar av deg klede er det same greia
