Transcript: Award Winning Films Jennie Spencer THE HERO'S JOURNEY Star Wars (1977) Luke's ordinary world consists of Tatooine and that alone, but he wants to know more about the rebellion against the Empire. He is kept in secrecy when his Aunt and Uncle do not allow him to ask questions. His normal world consists of going to school with his friends and working on his family's farm, but he wishes it was much more than that. The Ordinary World Luke's first call to adventure came from Obi Wan Kenobi. Luke becomes interested in Obi Wan because he hears Leia's message to him through R2-D2. He believes that Obi Wan and the message have something to do with the rebellion against the Empire, which he is extremely interested in. Obi Wan tells him that his father was a warrior and a talented star-fighter, giving Luke a lightsaber that was to be handed down to him. The Call to Adventure When Obi Wan first asks Luke to come with him and help him in the battle against the Empire, Luke does not want to go. He believes he is needed on Tatooine, and would not be cut out for adventuring. Refusing the Call Luke meets his mentor, Obi Wan Kenobi, early in the film, but consistently refuses his offers. Once Luke discovers his Aunt and Uncle dead and his home destroyed, Luke agrees to go with Obi Wan. Meeting the Mentor The first threshold of Luke's journey is the Mos Eisley spaceport, where he must procure a ride off of Tatooine. The spaceport is his first taste of an entirely different world. Crossing the First Threshold Luke is tested when a group of stormtroopers attempt to stop his egress. With the help of new allies, Han Solo and Chewbacca, Luke succeeds and is on his way to Alderaan. Tests, Allies, and Enemies Luke's most challenging task yet, rescuing Princess Leia, does not come without cost. Yes, Luke and Han free Leia from her holding cell, but Luke loses Obi Wan to Darth Vader in the process. Overcoming Adversity Luke's reward comes in the form of becoming a pilot in the rebel fleet, as he always wanted. As Luke says, saving the galaxy is, "just like shooting womp rats back home." The Reward Luke does not return to his ordinary world in Tatooine, but rather a world without the Empire. Luke's road back requires that he join the rebel force, as shown by his refusal of Han's offer to leave. The Road Back ARCHETYPES Star Wars (1977) Luke: carries out the main quest, changes as a result of conflict The Hero Obi Wan Kenobi: teaches Luke about the force and staying level-headed The Mentor Stormtroopers: consistently try to stop Luke and his friends from reaching their goal Threshold Guardians R2-D2: brings Luke the message from Leia, sets him on his adventure The Herald Leia: is presented as a damsel in distress, proved to be an important political force Shape-shifter Darth Vader: constant and vaguely known threat throughout the movie, a symbol of fear and oppression The Shadow Han Solo: sidekick, usually comic relief, sly and clever, solves problems creatively The Trickster HISTORICAL EVENTS Lincoln (2012) 1. The language of the Constitution is confusing and can be interpreted in different ways. 2. Politics are complicated because of personal relationships Accurate to History 1. Subtle conversational phrases are out of place in the historical time period. 2. Reciting the words of the Gettysburg Address would not have been possible, as it didn't become popular for a century. Historical Inaccuracies SOCIAL ISSUES Lincoln (2012) - white men believing they are more capable than black men - only want to abolish slavery to end the war - slaves in the house > faces aren't shown - children asking about slavery > shaped by family and society Examples HISTORICAL IMPRESSIONS Lincoln (2012) - emphasizes the chaos and corruption of politics > personal relationships v. work - the twisting of politics to fit individual needs - people in the same party have different views - shows personal attacks v. respectful politics Impressions AWARD WORTHY Jaws (1975) - lighting and shadows contribute to fear and suspense > shark is almost never directly seen - soundtrack mimics the audience's emotions, heightens experience - acting feels realistic > responses are genuine and relatable Academy Award MOVIE LESSONS Jaws (1975) One of the first lessons Jaws teaches its viewers is the dangers of reliance on capitalistic ideas in spite of the well-being of society. The decision of leaving the beaches open regardless of a gruesome shark attack is one that viewers are screaming not to go through with. However, that's what would happen in reality. Difficult decisions Another lesson to be found in Jaws is the adverse effects of judging a book by its cover. The hardened old sea captain refuses to believe that a young man with new technology will be of any help to him. They then build a strong relationship, and the inexperienced man survives rather than the braggart. First impressions The third lesson to be learned from Jaws is that some things you cannot plan for, but you

Transcript: Conservation of fishing cat Introduction of fishing cat Health: Fishing cats are susceptible to carnivore protoparvovirus, a disease known to kill them. This disease significantly damages the kidney, spleen and gastrointestinal tract of the body. The fishing cat is also vulnerable to diseases and medical conditions such as feline hemoplasmas, transitional cell carcinoma and canine distemper virus. Conservation Threats Wild life Shamim khan 2225138043 Bs Zoology 2022-2026 Since 2016, the fishing cat is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List, as the global population is thought to have declined by around 30% in the years 2010–2015; the destruction of wetlands and killings by local people are major threats to the fishing cat.[1] The destruction of wetlands includes increased pollution or conversion for agricultural use and human settlements. The conversion of mangrove forests to commercial aquaculture ponds is a major threat in Andhra Pradesh, and in some places fishing cats are killed. Over-exploitation of local fish stocks and retaliatory killing by local people are also significant threats. The fishing cat is included on CITES Appendix II and protected by national legislation over most of its range. Hunting is prohibited in Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. Hunting regulations apply in Laos. In Bhutan, Malaysia, and Vietnam, it is not protected outside protected areas, and no information is known about its legal protections in Cambodia. It is the state animal of the Indian state of West Bengal. Its survival depends on protection of wetlands, prevention of indiscriminate trapping, snaring and poisoning. fishing cat The fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) is a medium-sized wild cat of South and Southeast Asia. It has a deep yellowish-grey fur with black lines and spots. Adults have a head-to-body length of 57 to 78 cm (22 to 31 in), with a 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in) long tail. Males are larger than females classification of fishing cat: Scientific classification Domain: Eukaryota Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Suborder: Feliformia Family: Felidae Subfamily: Felinae Genus: Prionailurus Species: P. viverrinus Characteristics: The fishing cat has a deep yellowish-grey fur with black lines and spots. Two stripes are on the cheeks, and two are above the eyes running to the neck with broken lines on the forehead. It has two rows of spots around the throat. The spots on the shoulder are longitudinal, and those on the sides, limbs and tail are roundish Endangered in Pakistan: In captivity: Fishing cat captive breeding programmes have been established by the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria and the American Association of Zoos and Aquariums. All the fishing cats kept in zoos around the world are listed in the International Studbook of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums.Zoos in Thailand house around 30 individuals; birth rates are not particularly high.They have been placed in captivity as an "insurance population" due to their vulnerable status in the wild Taxonomy Topic: fishing cat Submitted to: Dr Najiya Al-Arifa Behaviour and ecology Phylogeny: Distribution and habitat: The fishing cat lives among dense vegetation near water and is thought to be primarily nocturnal. It is known to be a proficient long-distance and underwater swimmer. Adult males and females without dependent young are solitary. Females have been reported to range over areas of 4 to 6 km2 (1.5 to 2.3 sq mi), while males range over 16 to 22 km2 (6.2 to 8.5 sq mi). It has been observed resting in thick grassy habitats, often near a water body but sometimes far away from them. Adults have been recorded to vocalise "chuckling" sounds The fishing cat is broadly but discontinuously distributed in South and Southeast Asia. It predominantly inhabits densely vegetated wetlands around slow-moving bodies of water like swamps and marshes.These include low-salinity bodies such as oxbow lakes, and high-salinity ones such as tidal creeks and mangrove forests. Along these bodies of water, it conceals itself within the thick cover of forests, scrublands, reed beds, and grasslands. Most records are from lowland areas. Reproduction and development: Wild fishing cats most likely mate during January and February; most kittens in the wild were observed in March and April. However, fishing cats may mate as late as June. In captivity, the gestation period lasts 63–70 days; females give birth to an average of two to three kittens; the litter size can be as small as one to as large as four.
