Assignment 2-2

Pop Cultural



I have chosen the icons of Superman, John Travolta, and Chuck Jones. I chose these icons because they are all classical and they all carry a lot of speed. Superman is a pop culture because he’s been around for a long time before I was born. He always was helping others in the time of trouble. Superman was an American cultural icon, and he was a superhero in the comic world. In the real world he was known as Clark Kent, and he worked as a reporter. Then I have John Travolta, who was an American icon that plays in different movies as a bad boy. John Travolta could act, dance, and sing which made him famous. When Travolta played in films he became famous for what he could do. John had a downfall in the industry, but after playing pulp fiction the film helped him arrive back onto the set. Chuck Jones was a cartoon artist that died February 12, 2002. He directed a lot of animated characters on film, like how the Grinch Stole Christmas, and many more. His career blew up fast because of his ability produce and direct different characters so well. Road runner was a television character that was so fast that know other animal or man could catch him, this was another animated character that Chuck had vision for, which also lasted for years.
I chose these three icons because I believe that they have a lot of history behind them and I feel they are iconic. For example, I chose Superman because he was fast and he liked to help others; he held strong in what he believed in the time of need. If all went well he would when in the end and I knew every time I watched this character as a child I always received the message. John Travolta, I chose him because he could play a bad guy and a good guy and what ever part he played it also had a certain message and a meaning. He was a hard worker in my eyes and he was very talented in a lot of different areas. Chuck Jones, I chose him because he had a bright idea of talent. He worked hard and everything that he done by producing certain films, he brought everything to life.

All three icons mean a lot to me because it shows that everyone has a sense of style, and the icons tells a lot about a person, which reminds me of myself. I am fast and helpful person and I have a lot going on in my head that I like to put on paper. These icons tell me to be what I can be and never allow anything to hold me back.
