“Thematic Words and Phrases”

Thematic words and phrases are part of discourse analysis process. From the words used by the speakers, or writers, we can expect what is the writer’s perspective and ideology. In the previous CL class, I had learned many things regarding thematic words and process. I have observed about perspective Noam Chomsky, Michel Foucalt,, Adolf Hitler, Dr Mahathir and many more. Thematic words and phrases require us to learn and understand about particular person perspective. The words and language used by a person shows that who he or she really are. For instance, Karl Marx who is revolutionary and social scientist state that “The bourgeoisie owns the means of production, such as factories and machinery; and that while attempting to maximize profit; the bourgeoisie exploits workers, who must exchange their labor for subsistence wages.” This is a point of view from unconcern social theorist about lower class people. We assume that his ideology towards social stratification is inequality and oppression as inherent in capitalism. This is based from my own understanding about thematic words and phrases. There are many other languages used to show someone identity whether a person is a ruthless person, responsible, concern, greedy and many more. It is depends on how we reveal the thematic words and language used by someone’s into the perspective and ideology.

Film Review (Animal Farm By George Orwell)

This movie is about the animal rebellion in order to fell free from become human slavery. In this story the animal life are so misery as it has to do many work during the day and did not get enough food and always feel hungry. The most interesting part of this story is that the animal can talking and communicate with each others just like human beings. Pig such as Napoleon, Squealers, Snowball, and Old Major were play an important roles in this story. Their leadership was help the other animal a lots to fight human and live freely at the farm without any human. But the happy time did not last forever because Napoleon has break the rules which they has agreed on. At last, the animal have to become human slavery once again and stay hungry like previous time. This story is actually symbolize the human corrupt leadership which always happen in a political world in many countries. It is all about the politics and power. When people has got power in politics, sometimes they can turn to evil and even discriminate their own races, people, and family. This movie also gives an idea that human may become blind because of money. They will kill each other and do many other bad thing just because of money. It is important to remember that to have a blissful country every members need to co-operate within each other and cannot stabbed others back. As for the politicians they have to remember that they hold a big responsibility to lead the country not to destroy it.
