My Language explainer is going to be about some Nautical terms. I had my meeting with Prof. Dadak and she suggested I look into more ocean references that are still being in used today and find the different examples in which they are being used. Oddly enough, on my commute back home the same day of meeting with the prof, I started to watch the movie Jennifer's Body. It's a comedy/horror movie with young Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried. I'm not the biggest fan of horror movies but one of Halsey's new song started off with a small skit that was originated from Jennifer's body.
It's really interesting when you look into song lyrics and why they were situated in the time frame that they were situated in. Like what was the artistic and dialectal choice behind putting a movie quote before the song starts. This is kind of what Greene does in the beginning of all his chapters. He gathers a quote from another source and plants it as the header of the chapter. These quotes usually indirectly explain what the chapter is going to be about.
Another interesting point that I made while watching the movie (this relates directly to my explainer) is the fact that about 5-10 minutes into the movie, the main character, Jennifer, uses the word "salty" to describe how beautiful a guy is. I found this so weird because today the word "salty" is used to describe the feeling of annoyance. I will further discuss this in my explainer.
