Discuss how Irwing and Posner's relationship is presented in this exchange

Within the exchange, Irwin seems to assume the teacher role. He uses low frequency lexis such as "Meretricious" which he challenges Posners intellect and challenges him for dominion which shows Irwins pragmatic nature. Furthermore he uses asyndetic listing to explain what meretricious means, which is "eye catching, showy; false". The subtext resembles Irwins pragmatic naturenin which it perfectly describes how he had been introduced within the story by Bennet. 'Eye-catching' Irwin was the fresh young teacher who looked as young as the teachers. 'Showy' he gained reputation from the students and teachers as he is the only one who had been in Cambridge. 'False' because he taught the boys how to be desirable for the examiners instead of being themselves.

Furthermore there is a sense of trust between them before Posner reveals he is miked as Irwin reveals himself, "Meretricious often are... particularly in television" which gives the impression that Irwin might think that him and Posner still have the respectful teacher and student relationship they had before. The use of the ellipsis shows a glimpse of guilt but also a sign of acceptance for himself as he embraces his calculating manner, which then he looks for the positives such as "disability brings... assumption of sincerity".

But after Posner reveals he is miked and the relationship becomes hostile because of the distrust. Irwin uses vulgar and taboo language such as "fuck off" to indicate hatred is now the relationship status. In which Posner responds with patronising vocatives such as "sir" to provoke some sort of reaction from Irwin to get what he wants - the truth and money. Although Posner had betrayed Irwins trust the audience is clueless between who is in the wrong; either Posner or Irwin. Irwin had taught Posner materialistic ideas in which it had lead him to his down fall -"I thought I'd got somewhere... Then I found I had to go on" - which Posner is struggling with financial issues but also possibly mental problems.

Film Review - Falcon Rising

Falcon Rising is one of the most exhilarating films that will make want to learn mixed martial arts whilst watching it! The film features the muscular badass Michael Jai White who plays the main character. Michael, who is a mixed martial artist himself, displays lots of mesmerizing moves to defeat his foes to avenge his sister. His immense power and skill is jaw dropping.

The film excellently showcases the greatness of the action genre as it's jam packed with epic hand to hand combat scenes that you hope wouldn't end. The story itself is at a level understandable but sometimes it can be sketchy. There are also some plot twist that will make you question why is it in the film.

But other than that it's great!
