the reading required is online and completely free press this link below and press content while on the website to see the readings and video there are two chapters.
Note: Before you answer these questions, you should go back to
Sharman’s text and watch the videos that were included if you’ve not done so. Please respond to the following questions: Based on Sharman’s discussion in the first two chapters: What is the relationship between images and words in narratives? In other words, why is his discussion about cinema grounded in the history of photography and terms associated with written literary texts? What would be the advantage(s) of writing with no images whatsoever? Why might an author choose to do this? Finally, please end with a brief commentary on Sharman’s text. As I said, I will always ask you to comment on the textbooks we read. In addition to being knowledge objects, they are rhetorical objects and narratives–they present information in a certain way, they have key themes, and they attempt to persuade you of something. Consider particularly the medium and format of the text; it is, after all, a contemporary, digital text. As this is your first post, I will give some brief instructions. You have three questions before you, so your post should contain at least three paragraphs. Please use transition sentences, bullet points, or something to indicate which topic you are addressing. Please follow the basic rules of grammar, punctuation, and mechanics. Your primary concern should be clarity. Big words are not necessary; the right words are. My general rule of thumb is: If you can’t be bothered to make it clear and proofread it, I can’t be bothered to read it. Please respond directly to the two questions. You can decide on your own what you want to talk about in your commentary on the text itself. You can talk about font, medium, format, style, content, anything whatsoever. If you quote Sharman’s text, follow the basic rules of citation. There are no page numbers, so the parenthetical citation can be (Sharman, Chap. #). You should not be quoting anyone else, as this assignment does not require you to seek out additional resources.
