Blog Buddy meeting

What we discussed:

We found it hard to make links at first as our studies are not that similar. However, we managed to find some common areas of research that would be relevant to use both:
- Identity,
- Gender roles
- Genre theory

1) Identity:
In both of our studies the theme of identity is a key element. We will be looking at how identity is shaped in the texts.
For instance, ‘HSM’ identity is a major theme that runs throughout the film as the main characters Troy and Gabriella struggle to find their identities due to peer pressure etc .
In ‘Heroes’ identity also plays a major part as the heroes have dual identities.


2) Gender roles:
What are they?
What are audience expectations of these?
Why are they used?
Do our texts conform/reject them? Why?

3) Genre theory:
Find theorists that can be applied to both of our studies.
