Screen Play
The Graduate
MRS. ROBINSON
Oh. I guess this isn't the bathroom, is it?
BEN
It's down the hall.
They stand for a
moment, loocking at each other.
MRS. ROBINSON
How are you, Benjamin?
BEN
Fine, thank you. The bathroom is down at the end of the
hall.
Mrs. Robinson moves
into the room and sits on the edge of the bed.
BEN
Look, Mrs. Robinson, I don't mean to be rude but -
Mrs. Robinson takes a
cigarette from her purse and lights it.
MRS. ROBINSON
Is there an ashtray in here?
BEN
No.
MRS. ROBINSON
Oh - I forgot. The track star doesn't smoke.
She blows out the
match and puts it down carefully on the bedspread. Ben picks up a wastebasket,
walks over to the bed, picks up the match and puts it in the wastebasket.
MRS. ROBINSON
Is it a girl?
BEN
Is what a girl?
MRS. ROBINSON
Whatever it is you're upset about.
BEN
Oh - no. I'm just sort of disturbed about things.
MRS. ROBINSON
In general.
BEN
That's right.
There is a long pause.
MRS. ROBINSON
Benjamin, I want to ask you something.
BEN
What?
MRS. ROBINSON
Will you take me home?
BEN
What?
MRS. ROBINSON
My husband took the car. Will you drive me home?
Ben reaches into his
pocket and hands Mrs. Robinson a set of car keys.
BEN
Here - you take it.
Mrs. Robinson looks at
him.
BEN
Do you know how to work a foreign shift?
Mrs. Robinson shakes
her head.
BEN
You don't?
MRS. ROBINSON
No.
(there is a pause)
BEN
Let's go.
She throws the keys to
him. He catches them.

Howl
Throughout our daily lives technology is more than
drastically apparent. Our days are now spent tracking and recording our lives
than we actually spend living them. Our phones are always by our sides and very
few tasks aren’t somehow supplemented without some sort of “app”.
As kids our generation was not so reliant on technology.
Playing with actual toys instead of video game apps or having to rewind the vhs
tape before watching it are all things kids of this generation are not going to
experience half as much as we did if not at all. There is a separation between
these two generations that will never be gapped, even my little sister who is
only four years younger than me will not experience many of the traditions us
“90’s kids” cherish.
Our generation experienced the gap between a semi digital and full digital world. I believe this will define us as a generation because we have experienced all the advancements in technology but are still able to relate back to a time when technology was not as prevalent. This allows us to view things in a subjective way and fully evaluate the need for all this technology. Personally I believe that technology is a great thing, especially at this school I believe lots of people would agree with that statement. But regardless of that fact I often finding myself wondering what life would be like if I never had a Facebook or the internet or a cell phone. Things would not be more difficult I would say but they would be drastically less accessible and less efficient. But who says that is a bad thing. I remember going to the library as a kid to do research for a school project. We would check out books to find facts, take notes and make posters. Now all you have to do is a quick google search and copy paste into a PowerPoint. I think that there is a lot of value in both of these methods. I still prefer to take hand written notes because the action of writing things down helps me remember them.

A genre is a way to classify or categorize stories, wither
it be movies, music, books etc. The plot, characters and other elements of the
story go into the classification of a genre. The time period also very often
plays a role in the type of genres that are created.
The effect of a genre may allow you to stereotype and limit
yourself to separate genres. You may not have liked Sci-Fi movies but that
doesn’t mean you are going to dislike all Sci-Fi movies.
These movies no longer can just be classified around just
one genres, most movies now need two or three because movies can span over so
many different genres.
Mystery as a genre has now transformed more into crime
solving than mystery.
Genre evolves with the time and the environment you are
living in.
The genres have basic formulas that define the story, this
formula is going to have different variables which will alter the movies and
progress the genre forward.
Literature is the object that genre is defining. Genre can be applied to literature as well as movies, music, and many others.
