Bildeanalyse
Dette er et landskapsbilde, og teknikken som er brukt er fotografi. Bildet forestiller et utsnitt av en bru (mellomgrunnen), to ender (forgrunnen) og en ås og bygninger (bakgrunnen). Bildet har det gylne snitt som komposisjonsprinsipp, med endene i den nedre høyre firkanten, refleksjonen i den nedre venstre firkanten, brua i den øvre venstre firkanten og bakgrunnen i den øvre høyre. Lyset er i gråtoner, selv om et er relativt lyse farger som fremhever gulfargen på brua. Bruas refleksjon er i kontrast til elva som blir opplyst av den overskyete himmelen. Bildet er tatt i normalperspektiv.
Det første vi legger merke til ved dette bildet er den gule broen. Dette fører til at blikket blir ført bakover i bildet, langs broen. Deretter ned på endene og så ned på refleksjonen i vannet. Dette skyldes at øynene våre følger kontraster og linjer som blir skapt av lysforskjellene.
I begynnelsen virker bildet melankolsk, men når man legger merke til endene får man en mer romantisk stemning. Disse endene kan tolkes som et symbol på kjærlighet, ettersom det er en hun-, og en han-and, istedenfor en flokk. Broen kan være et symbol på samhold og det å være knyttet sammen. Det er også mange stabile trekanter på undersiden som holder bruen oppe. Dette gir bildet en følelse av å være stabilt.
Det er også mange horisontale linjer i bildet ettersom bildet er i landskapsformat og hovedmotivet ligger relativt horisontalt. I tillegg ligger også den synlige elvebredden vannrett, sammen med krusningene i elven. Likevel gjør den nesten vertikale gjenspeilingen i vannet at bildet fortsatt blir spennende å se på. Det er også ustabile trekanter i gjenspeilingen, noe som gjør at den øvre delen av bildet virker mer stabilt enn den nedre delen.
Kontrasten mellom bruas speilbilde og refleksjonen fra himmelen i vannet skaper uro og spenning i bilde. Samtidig er det noe bevegelse i bildet som forsterker effekten av urolighet.
Bildet kan tolkes på flere måter, det kan enten formidle kjærlighet og samhold, men også det at det finnes to sider av samme sak ettersom det er gjenspeiling i vannet.

The Riots in London and how they might be affected by the class system
What is the difference between looting and rioting?
o When people are rioting they are breaking things and causing disorder violently, like breaking into shops and crushing cars etc. Looting is common under riots because it makes it easier. Looting is stealing stuff and doesn’t involve violent actions.
Define the underlined (blue) words and phrases. Also note down other words you find difficult, and find out what they mean.
o Social exclusion: to be “excluded” from society (sosial eksklusjon)
o Disregard social norms: to not obey the social norms (å ikke følge normene i samfunnet)
o High unemployment: A high number of unemployed people (høy arbeidsledigehet)
o Criminologist: expert on crime and criminal behavior (kriminolog)
o Opportunism: taking advantage of opportunities and not caring about the consequences it may have on others
o Lack of intervention: when little or nothing is done to help change something. (Mangel på tiltak)
o Consumerism: Our consuming of products and services (forbruk)
o Catalyst of unrest: a trigger of something, a reason for something happening faster
• Could this happen in Trondheim? In Oslo? Why/why not?
• What can this say about the social conditions in England? How may this be connected to the traditional class system?
I don’t think it is likely that this will happen in Oslo or Trondheim, but it is possible in a smaller scale. In London many of the participating people were unemployed and didn’t have much to loose. That is not the current situation in Norway, we don’t have that big economical differences between people as London has. We also have many systems made to help people in unfortunate situations.
In London many of the unemployed live in the same areas and maybe that was a contributing factor to trigging the riots. When there are a lot of people in same situation living close to each other I think that the urge to do something drastic comes faster. To try to make the situation change is a natural desire and with many people wanting the same thing is might be easier to do something as drastic as the riots.
The social conditions in England are highly influenced by the traditional class system, as the class system still exists. It is hard to get out of the social class you are in and it’s easy to blame the ones “above” you. Even if you marry into the upper class it takes about three generations to be fully accepted, according to a radio-program on BBC. The riots in London are most likely a reaction to the class system. Class distinction is not a good thing and it leads to differences and injustice. Many of the young people feel like someone is responsible for doing something about the unfairness, and when nothing is done they try to get attention.
