Animal Man: Morrison\u27s Reflection on the Author
No full textGrant Morrison’s Animal Man debuted in DC Comics in 1988. For seven years as its author, Morrison explored themes of animal rights, conservationism, postmodernism, existentialism, and even free will all through their careful deconstruction of the superhero genre. In “Animal Man: Morrison’s Reflection on the author”, Ellie Harwood analyzes major portions of Morrison’s comic to identify their commentary on the relationship between people, animals, and fictional characters, and the moral ramifications of those relationships. Harwood achieves this through identifying the similarities between how Morrison portrays animals in the comic, as well as how they portray their own characters on a meta level, and the fundamental similarities between both parties. This essay primarily focuses on how the exploitation of animals is unequivocally tied to the process behind storytelling itself, and how both play into humanity’s intrinsic, primal desire for violence. By identifying the line Morrison draws between fiction and reality, then blurring it, the text’s moralistic claims become clear

Psychoanalysis Ellie Chu Portrayed from Freud's and Maslow's Theories in "The Half of It" Movie
No full textPsychology is the science that studies human behavior which is applied in analyzing human personality. This journal examines the application of the psychological theories of Sigmund Freud (Id, Ego, and Superego) and Abraham Maslow (physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, self-esteem, and self-actualization) in analyzing Ellie Chu the main character of the film "The Half of It". The author uses the descriptive qualitative research method to explain Ellie Chu's character. The author obtained data from watching the film "The Half of It" which was released by Netflix in 2020 and reading the script for the film "The Half of it". Directed by Alice Wu, this film follows the journey of Ellie Chu, a talented young writer who gets entangled in a journey of finding a complex identity in her small town. This analysis aims to show how the application of Freud's and Maslow's theories provides insight into Ellie's character development and motivation throughout the film. By exploring her subconscious desires and the fulfillment of her needs, we gain a deeper understanding of her actions, decisions, and emotional journey. Understanding the psychological underpinnings of Ellie's character increases our appreciation of the film's themes of identity, love, and self-discovery. It is hoped that from this analysis the readers can also be inspired by the story of Ellie Chu who can take responsibility for truth, honesty, and sacrifice
Doing Less—Reflections on Cognitive Load and Hard Choices in Teaching First-Year Legal Writing
No full textThe evolving landscape of legal research and writing (LRW) education requires LRW professors to balance a multitude of expectations and demands in the process of teaching foundational skills and ensuring that students are “practice-ready.” This essay argues that attempting to cover too wide an array of skills and competencies often leads to ineffective learning outcomes and suggests that a “less is more” approach may be more beneficial. It explores the challenges faced by LRW professors in teaching a comprehensive set of skills while ensuring students can transfer their learning to new contexts. Drawing on research and personal teaching experiences, the essay advocates for a strategic approach of “doing less” to achieve more effective learning outcomes. This approach involves prioritizing foundational skills like research, organization, and analysis, which are essential for success in practice and increasingly important in light of changes in the legal profession, such as the emergence of generative AI. The article also suggests reevaluating course design to focus on optimizing foundational skills, simplifying assignments, and reducing cognitive overload. Furthermore, it proposes de-emphasizing certain aspects of practice-ready professionalism, such as strict adherence to formatting rules and deadlines, to create space for deeper learning and metacognition. By making thoughtful decisions about what to prioritize and how to structure their courses, LRW professors can better equip students for the complexities of modern legal practice while fostering a more meaningful and transferable learning experience
