"The Blue Chair"  Deconstruction Criticism:  A normal blue chair would serve its purpose in the classroom, this blue chair has nobody sitting in it which means it's not doing its purpose. This blue chair could be a murder weapon, the color blue can represent that it's sad because nobody is sitting in it. The blue chair can mean emptiness in the classroom, nobody wants to sit in the blue chair.

  Harry Potter World at Universal Studios Analysis:  Encouraging participation in world; makes the magic real Clone of the movies/world that has been created by the franchise; first time that it has been put into corporal, accessible real world. Therefore, Disney are trying to convince the people who haven't seen the movies believe that magic is real. Counterfeits:  If you don’t know it is fake, the set looks very real; castle could be real, alley could be real. A lot of effects take place in this amusement park, to create the feeling that everything they present is real. Going into this world, understanding that magic doesn't exist can help you tell the difference. Production:  Can’t take a step without something to pay for in the world; paying for things makes your participation in the world more real; continues the overproduction of the franchise, encourages us to keep engaging monetarily with the Harry Potter universe; aspects of the experience spatially confines you to are

  Eugene Lee Yang "Coming Out" Video  Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpipLfMiaYU  During these last few years Eugene Lee Yang was apart of a YouTube group called "The Try Guys," roughly about 3 to 4 guys in each video trying different things out. For example, cooking thanksgiving dinner in 60 minutes, auditioning for broadway, stand up comedy etc. Throughout those years Eugene was fighting with sexuality, as a man its hard to be accepted by others and family members and he didn't feel safe coming out to the world. On July 15th, 2019 the Try Guys posted Eugene coming out video on their page, the video and production was amazing it was viewed as a well rounded short film with a lot of emotions and expressions. In the beginning of the video we see Eugene with his family as a young man wearing man like "Solid" colors, then we transition him being more fascinated to women products such as lipsticks and women posture.
