Medical intervention for transgender individuals (including both hormone therapy and medically indicated surgery) is effective, relatively safe (when appropriately monitored), and has been established as the standard of care. Federal and private insurers should cover such interventions as prescribed by a physician as well as the appropriate medical screenings that are recommended for all body tissues that a person may have.

The Endocrine Society has released new guidelines confirming that transgender identity is biological, that being trans is not a mental illness, and that insurance should cover transition-related care. Boom. (via ThinkProgress)

RL 10.7 Questions

1.What is the common theme/ message?

2.In what ways is this theme represented differently? Use an example.

3.In what ways does the medium make us understand the theme differently? Talk about message, purpose and attitude.

Daedalus is a brilliant inventor. Unfortunately, he angers King Minos, the ruler of the island Crete, and he gets thrown in prison. Desperate to flee the island, Daedalus uses wax and feathers to build some wings for himself and his son Icarus. Daddy Daedalus warns his son not to fly too close to the sun because the heat will melt wax.

Icarus heeds his father's advice for a bit, but then he gets greedy and overconfident. He's having so much fun flying that he forgets the warning and flies too close to the sun. Sure enough, his wings melt, and Icarus plummets into the sea and drowns. Daedalus is devastated by his son's death.

RL 10.7 'Holes' Example Analysis

1) Argue that the theme shown in the film is represented differently than in the book.

The scene from the book and movie, Holes, portrays the theme of standing up for yourself. The movie seems to shorten the dialogue but the audience is able to clearly understand the action, in the book there is more specific explanation and more dialogue. While both the movie and book show the same scene they differ in the way they are perceived.

The scene from the book begins in the same way as the film, but starts to differ when Mr. Pedanski starts talking to Zero. In the book, Zero attempts to stand up for himself more in the way he tries to demonstrate what he has been learning. But Mr. Pedanski goes further with taunting him, which creates more tension between the two. He even says, “He’s a genius, all right!” This phrase gives Zero all the more right to be upset and want to stand up for himself and then knocks Mr. Pedanski out with his shovel. While in the movie, there is not a very long interaction between Mr. Pedanski and Zero before he hits him with his shovel.

In the movie, the audience is more clearly able to see the action that takes place; instead of having to carefully follow along we are able to understand what is happening when the boys are fighting. But when Mr. Pedanski puts Zero down in front of the rest of the boys, he doesn’t respond the same way he does in the book, most likely because in the film it would be necessary to save time. Instead he stays silent and waits until he is handed the shovel to knock Mr. Pedanski to the ground. The purpose differs from the book to the film. The author’s purpose is to clearly show more interaction to help the reader understand the frustration, while the director’s purpose is to keep their audience interested, cutting dialogue short and focusing on the action. In both the movie and the book we see Zero taking a stand for himself, but shown in slightly different ways due to the medium they are presented in.

2. Critique and comment on TWO of the following elements after reading the article. Include your own evaluation of the writer’s strengths and weaknesses in these TWO areas. Use evidence/examples from the text. SAMPLE ANSWER FOR WATER ON MARS ARTICLE

The organization of the article was clear and especially strong in how they divided information into small sections with small headings. This helped me better understand what information to expect next. The order of ideas was logical as they introduced background knowledge I needed to know first before understanding that main idea. The writer’s weakness with structure was the lack of pictures. Generally, if I am learning something as amazing as outer space I want to also be able to see it. I am not sure I would have been drawn to this article on my own. Another weakness was that the writer ended on the water being a clue to better understanding the red planet, but I wasn’t sure what they would have been able to better understand and I would have preferred if they had told me.

The purpose of this text was to inform, and I feel as the writer achieved that purpose. Jennifer Baron used plenty of background information to make sure we were informed about the new ideas. And though she used some astronomy lingo, she also explained those words which helped me to not feel lost. There was enough scientific information that I walked away from this article feeling informed about the topic.

Baron’s argument was that NASA had confirmed evidence of water on Mars. I believe this was communicated appropriately with enough supporting information. The argument was introduced in the beginning but then supported with specific evidence. Jennifer not only told us that there was water discovered but she also told us how they were able to do that. She explained tools that were used to aide this discovery and then also addressed questions the writer might be thinking, like “Can’t we just send a mars rover?” I would say Baron’s only weakness with her argument would be when she mentioned that this would help them better understand Mars, but then didn’t explain how. I thought if she had actually told us more about how this would help astronomers it would have strengthened her argument by making it seem more important and relevant.
