Have a look at this piece of writing about the film Joker (2019) played by Joaquin Phoenix by the director Todd
Philips:
Gotham City: heroes and villains
Having reflected on the complex universe of Gotham, we can now observe the characteristics of the Joker (2019)
by Todd Phillips, who presents Bruce Wayne as a child on the background of the story and takes us to the stage
in which Arthur Fleck becomes the most feared clown in the world of graphic novels. Gotham is a critical
metaphor of New York, presenting excessive urban violence, great difference between social classes (in which
the poor becomes poorer, the commerce is going bankrupt, people are unemployed), and in which the plot takes
place around 1981 during the garbage men's strike, giving the film an environment of gloom and dirt. For us to
Analyse the Joker, we are going to work with the concept of face by Goffman (1967) and the identity of the post-
modern era considering the notion of Stuart Hall (2003) and Bauman (1998).

4.
A paper.
An article.
An email.
A journal.
A blog.
Data Resp.: 16/10/2023 14:47:30
Explicação:
A paper is something less elaborate, although it requires a lot of research, the vocabulary tends to be more
simple, as it is usually developed by students or people who are not experts and it does not include the line of
study it will follow. A blog is usually something more personal or connected to the corporative world. A journal is
a collection of articles put together by experts; and, an email is short, straight to the point and does not usually
analyze works. An article, on the other hand, which is the case in question, is written by experts, is elaborate,
scientifically detailed, and provides the line of study that is going to be used. In the case of the article in
question: the concept of face by Goffman (1967) and the identity of the post-modern era considering the notion
of Stuart Hall (2003) and Bauman (1998).

Imagine the context of a chat conversation, in which two friends are discussing divergent views on some matter.
By using the onomatopoeic sound "HAHAHAHAHAHA", what is the writer doing?
Have a look at this piece of writing about feminism in The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath:
It is informative.
It has abbreviations.
It ends with "Yours sincerely".
It starts with "Dear Mr Potter".
There is no sender's or recipient's address.
Data Resp.: 16/10/2023 14:47:43
Explicação:
A common formal letter presents "Dear Mr" followed by the last name of the recipient, if you have this piece of
information. It usually ends with "Yours sincerely", "Yours truly" or "Yours faithfully". It does not use any
abbreviations, just like Harry's acceptance letter. Both may be informative or not. However, the main difference
between a common formal letter and the acceptance letter is that the latter does not include the addresses
(attention: they may present the addresses, but the acceptance letter usually provides the position of the
people who are sending the letter: Dean of the university, Head of Department and so on.)
 
6.
Committing an FTA (Face Threatening Act).
Save someone's face.
Make the chat fun.
Be ironic.
Make someone lose face.
Data Resp.: 16/10/2023 14:47:53
Explicação:
Most of the times, the onomatopoeic sound is usually used to lighten the mood, soften the message. This way,
it is not supposed to commit an FTA or make someone lose face (which is the same). The idea is not
supposed to make the chat fun and, often, it does not provide irony.

Feminism in The Bell Jar
The Bell Jar is an autobiographical novel written by Sylvia Plath, in 1963. The main character is Plath herself, as
she reflects on her experience of being married to Ted Hughes and herself as a female writer. The novel tells the
story of nineteen-year-old Esther Greenwood, which became an important work among feminists as it was tragic
and realistic. Esther has to deal with prejudice and unacceptance from her family and has to fight to accept
herself and her value in society in spite of stereotypes. The theme of the novel - how women are dealt with in
society - is the most topic of the feminist agenda.

Considering its style, vocabulary and development, how would it be classified?

There is one aspect it presents in common with emails. What is it?
An article.
Formal letter.
Opening of an essay with an anecdote.
Description of a surprising event.
A paper.
Data Resp.: 16/10/2023 14:48:02
Explicação:
It does not present neither the style nor the layout of a letter and does not present an anecdote as a way to
open an essay. Also, it does not describe a shocking event, since it is describing and summarizing the novel
by Sylvia Plath. If it were an article, the vocabularywould be more elaborate and the line of study it would be
used for the analysis of the writing. Therefore, considering the style, vocabulary and development, it best fits
the characteristics of a paper, probably written (well-written) by a student.
 
8.
It is persuasive.
It is long.
It provides addresses of the sender and recipient.
It has emoticons.
It has an attachment.
Data Resp.: 16/10/2023 14:48:10
In formal letters we expect to find certain expressions and chunks, either at the beginning, middle or end. How
can a letter or email which is an answer to an Enquiry letter be started?
An enquiry letter is a sub-genre of a formal letter, that is, it is one of the categories that are part of the bigger genre
"formal letter". Its purpose is to ask about something that the writer wants to know. What should the conclusion of
a formal enquiry letter contain?
Explicação:
Attachments are common in emails. They are not inexistent in letters, but are not as usual as in virtual
interactions. However, in Potter's letter, there is an attachment with the list of materials they have to have to start
the term. It is not long or persuasive, it does not provide addresses or emoticons (which would be accepted in
emails).
 
9.
Yours faithfully.
Thanks again.
Dear Sir or Madam.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your prompt reply.
Data Resp.: 16/10/2023 14:48:21
Explicação:
Since you have received an answer, it is polite to thank the sender with "Thank you for your prompt reply". "Dear
Sir or Madam" is part of the greeting; "I look forward to hearing from you" is part of the closure, such as "Yours
faithfully". "Thanks again" could come in the Middle of the letter about to finish.
 
10.
It should include the summary of the letter.
It should include a formal ending.
It should ask for action, that is, say what is expected to happen.
It should include the explanation of why it is being written.
It should include greeting.
Data Resp.: 16/10/2023 14:48:41
Explicação:
The conclusion is at the end of the letter. Therefore, it does not explain why it is being written, since it has
clearly been said. Greetings are also part of the beginning of the letter. Formal endings are "Yours sincerely",
"Yours truly" and "Yours faithfully", which is not a conclusion. Also, it does not summarize the letter, that is the
characteristic of an essay. The conclusion of an Enquiry letter asks for action, showing what the sender
expects.
