[Reading Response: Pamela Wojcik]

 

‘What makes the apartment complex?’ written by Wojcik shows an interesting perspective on as she perceives apartment as an independent genre, rather than only serving as a media as a plot. She emphasizes the role of apartment performed beyond the ‘setting’. Following to her analysis, it is further explores as a media to draw out the character’s identity; ‘gender, race, ethnicity and class’, which she mentioned in the reading. For instance, a room of newly married women may be portrayed with couple items, absence of child goods or overall bright tone of furniture to convey new and fresh image. The reading was interesting fact that the evaluation pin pointed the idea of apartment being a genre to draw character and plot rather than solely being a passive background in the scene.
