Annotated Bibliography
- Pulp Fiction. Dir. Quentin Tarantino. By Quentin Tarantino. Prod. Lawrence Bender. Perf. Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman. Miramax, 1995.
I’m using multiple refrences to the Quentin Tarantino film, “Pulp Fiction”, to illustrate “Trickster Character Archetypes”, and identify with the “Hipness” that tends to be birthed in Los Angeles, and the Hollywood film scene.
2. Krakauer, Jon. Into the Wild. New York: Anchor, 2007. Print.
I chose the book, “Into the Wild”, because I believe the dynamic character illustrates a prime example of, “Hip” mentality, opinions, and expression. I feel qouting Chris McAndless throughout my essay helps my reader identify with my own personal definition of “Hip”, and what exactly that means.
- Leland, John. Hip the History. XXX: HarperCollins, 2004. Print
I of course chose to use the book we were assinged in class, because I feel it’s an essential tool to adding to my papers over all credibility, because Leland tends to be the expert on what it is to be, “hip”.
- Fight Club. 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, 2000.
I chose to also use multiple citations from the movie fight club, because I believe the movie illustrates multiple examples of “hip” characters, and “hip” versions of Tricksters.
This looks good. I think that looking at Pulp Fiction through Leland's idea of the West/LA might be really interesting, especially in terms of the reinvention of the self. Some of those characters chose to change their lives in radical ways.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your analysis of Chris McCandless in your essay. I think he is a great person to look at in terms of some of the ideas we've talked about this semester, self-reinvention, escaping the past, and doing against culture. It also might be a cautionary tale about hip too.
