Today in class, we watched two short clips from Superman  and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.  Both clips followed roughly the same basic structure.  In each, the son is sent away from home by his parents and finds himself in a new and unfamiliar place.  In both narratives, the protagonist has to figure out how to manage in a place where he does not fit in.  Your homework for Monday is to find a piece of popular culture that follows this basic “fish out of water” structure.  It could be a tv show, movie, song, video, cartoon, etc….   All that the designation “popular culture” means is that is it designed for a mass audience.  Once you’ve chosen your “text,” post a short, representative clip from it or a link to it here on the blog, together with a description of the text and an explanation of how you see it conforming to the model we saw in Superman and The Fresh Prince.  To receive credit, your assignment must be posted to our blog by 9:30 am on Monday morning.  If you have any questions about this assignment, please contact me.
