Week 9 Story : How to Get Away With Murder
I recently started watching the famous ABC Tv show, how to get away with murder and it is
actually a pretty decent show. There are so many crimes as well as mysteries that take you on an
adventure with many rollercoasters of stories and spin offs of the details.
Relating this tv show with one of the Jatakas we have read, I have made up my own story
regarding this relationship and it is described in the following sentences. The whole show starts off
by introducing the characters and having them all in a setting that is a law school. A girl name
Rebecca Sutter is the narrator of the show and takes us through the plot and introduces us to all of
the main characters known as the Keating five. Rebecca Sutter also gives us the insight of who killed
her best friend, Lelah Stanguard and the person in charge of the law school, the most famous
professor, Annalise’s husband named Sam Keating. As episodes go on, a student named Michaela
who is one amongst the Keating five notices something is wrong amongst the group and takes
initiative to go figure out the cause. She notices something is wrong because of a fellow friend who
kept reminding them that the world is going to end on a specific day because of his futuristic senses.
Michaela goes along with the friend and finds out that it was a simple and minor mistake to
where Annalise had wrongly accused the criminal and Michaela and the rest of the Keating five had
to stand up for the victim who had been wrongly accused and abused in the jail cell and had to
protect him and his rights. This makes it relate to the Foolish Rabbit as the rabbit kept feeling or
hearing that something was going wrong and later realized that it was just the falling sound of a
coconut that made him feel this way and had to take the lion along with him to make sure of it as he
was frightened. This is the same way Michaela's friend was feeling before Michaela came in and
stepped up to the plate to go help her figure out what the situation was.
This picture is the cover picture for the widely known ABC Tv show, "How to Get Away with Murder." This picture depicts the strong and independent, Anilese Keating who is shown on the front cover who is a professor at a law school and gets a big job at a law firm later on in the show. She is in charge of the Keating Five and uses their help in real life cases and trains them as well as giving them a good experience.
Hello Asha,
ReplyDeleteI have to say the way you related the Foolish Rabbit to the television show Getting Away with Murder is quite interesting. I have never watched the show so I don’t know what happens on it. When you compared the two I could definitely see the comparison as well as picture through your eyes what you saw in the show.
Hey Asha,
ReplyDeleteSo I actually liked how you put the authors note at the beginning of the story because it helped clear up any confusion someone might have if they have not seen the show. I enjoy how you related the stories together, but maybe you could have spiced it up a bit. It read less like a story and more like a synopsis of a story. I like some spice in my life.
Hey Asha! I really like the show "How to Get Away with Murder" however I am really behind on the series. I like that you added a description of the story at the beginning; however, I would still have added the description to the end in an actual note. There is no bibliography added to the end to show what stories you were trying to relate this story to. I feel the story was really just a description of how the show relates to some of the stories we have read in the class. I feel your story would be better off with you using the characters from the TV show but putting it in your own words and creating your own story with it.
ReplyDeleteI am such a fan of this show you reference here! It looks as though you might be talking about the first season of "How To Get Away With Murder"? Something that might help what you have written here to take on more of a "story" format since you write from the first person perspective would be to write an introduction as if you're a character writing in a diary? I see that some here have mentioned how it reads more like a synopsis which doesn't engage in the same way as a story however enlightening the comparisons you draw are. I think to remedy this which others have noted while maintaining the style you are using here would be to start with something along the lines of "Dear diary/journal, I am someone who wants to analyze these stories for (x) reason..." I think this would mesh well with what you have and give your readers enough to feel they're reading a true narrative if you're a "character" making the observations you have made above. Just a thought! Regardless, you seem to have an eye for finding contemporary examples that relate to our assigned reading very well!
