1)Truman Show Response:

Answer the following questions completely and comprehensively using the 5 Core Concepts of Media, and the other basics of media literacy that we have discussed in class over the past 2 weeks to inform your answer. My expectation is longer responses to answer the prompts well. You can expect to see these questions again in some form on our final, so consider this good practice for that. Your response needs to be turned in to Google Classroom by class time on Friday.

“We accept the world with which we’re presented.”

Christof makes this claim in The Truman Show.

1. How does this claim apply to our world and role of the media in our world? How valid do you feel this claim is? Explain in 2-3 paragraphs.

 2. How is The Truman Show such a fitting choice to illustrate many of the concepts and terms we have discussed in Media Literacy this semester? (Include as many concepts and terms as you can). Explain in 2-3 paragraphs.

3. In what ways have you personally felt controlled by the world around you and what steps will you take (or have you taken) to get control back (or to allow God to have the control of your life).  Give 2 examples of ways you have felt controlled by the world and the steps for each. Explain in 4-5 paragraphs.

4. If you used any websites for information to answer the above questions (especially if you quoted – ie. copy and pasted and added quotes), list them here:
